Listen Technologies LA-402 Universal Stereo Headphones

The LA-402 is the dual-ear option in Listen's universal earpiece range. Covering both ears cuts the room down enough that a listener can follow an interpreter or a lecture without pushing the receiver volume up, which is the usual reason a single-ear bud disappoints in a live room.

It runs 20 Hz to 20 kHz into 32 ohms and terminates in a 3.5 mm TRS plug on a 13 inch cable, with the LA-434 28 inch extension included so the receiver can sit in a pocket or on a belt. The leatherette cushions wipe clean and are replaceable as the LA-432 ten-pack, which is what keeps a loaner pool serviceable.
