Good to hear that you succeeded. - I've done something like this with a cheap set, made by Philips, I use for my small pocket radio. I also 'expanded' the gap on my Sony MDR-45Pro, because they were a bit too much narrowed up towards my chin when I at that time was working with the professional Sony VM-D6C casetterecorder. So that's why I knew it would be possible.:-) Cheers, Erik Richard -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Erik Richard Sørensen, Member of ADC, <[log in to unmask]> NisusWriter - The Future In Multilingual Text Processing - www.nisus.com Openoffice.org - The Modern Productivity Solution - www.openoffice.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
