The first time I tried these Audio-Technica Headphones I was listening to an FM Station on my Radio Shack 60-629 Multiband Receiver. I plugged them in, put them on and was absolutely amazed by their comfort and their exemplary sound quality. These are absolutely wonderful headphones for the price. I also like the fact that they come with a 1/4" adapter so I can even use these listening to shortwave on my 1981 Realistic DX100 Shortwave receiver. I highly recommend these headphones for anyone looking for good sound reproduction at a very reasonable price.
