Advice on headphones for a Walkman A845 please?
I have a Walkman A845 with which I am over the moon but I use it when working in my garage and with all of the movement, the earpieces come out. I now wear ear defenders over the earpieces which is inconvenient. Can anyone recommend suitable (over the head) headphones for this Walkman please?
I have emailed Sony Support and had no reply. I have also rang them but the 'advisor' there just asked me if I had seen the website which I had, and then went on to read what was on it. He hadn't got a clue and was unable to advise me.
I am concerned that the earpiece jack is 5 pin and yet headphone jacks are normally 3 pin. Does this make a difference - is it just for the earphone noise cancelling?
Really I don't want to spend any more than £100. Any advise would be really welcome.
Regards
Paul

Hi Paul
Difficult one this, as headphone comfort and fit (even performance to a certain degree) can be very subjective.
The best advice I can offer is to hit the shops and try out a few pairs directly. Places like HMV now offer dedicated headphone areas with many available to try on and even listen to.
Although I am reluctant to offer specific headphone recommendations, I have recently got a pair of MDR-ZX700’s for the occasional train journey to work. Slightly more gentle use than a garage, but so far I have been impressed, they sound pretty good for the price (much less than your budget) and I find them very comfortable.
No guarantee they will work for you but its at least a starting point.
The extra pins are for the noise cancelling option but you can still use regular 3-pin headphones.
Hope this helps
Lee
