I wonder if someone can rescue the data...

Just went old-school in an answer: electronics.stackexchange.com/a/400346/11684
when you have to ask about that here, its time to hire someone who knows what they do

Hmpf, finding new headphones is no easy task

finding new headphones is actually really easy. Amazon -> headphone -> new
finding suitable new headphones however.... where suitable is a subjective topic

Sennheisers are great, or Sony's got a pair that has a really wide range of frequencies. I haven't looked into headphones for like 5 years though.

Koss Portapro fanboy here. Also like my bose qc25s

not much a fan of noise cancelling ones, never seen some that sounded nice and actually worked at the same time.
@PlasmaHH I agree. I use them for noise canceling when I need noise canceling, but stick to the comfortable, light, great sounding Koss cans for sound. The Bose work so well that when my wife needs my attention she just throws wadded up paper at me.
mine throws cutlery after me...
anyways... I thought I found a pair of not too expensive sennheisers, nice over ear etc. but then they are so much more expensive on amazon and I want to pay with amazon credits sigh
nothing is ever easy

medium.com/@Xander51/… Just don't get the wireless version
I do need to replace the temple pads every now and again.
I need over ear ones

Yo. I'm designing a custom circuit board to put in an Ascent MTx remote-controlled airplane. I'm not sure what to do for the radio receiver.
Option 1 is to just buy a separate radio receiver board. That'll probably work all right, but it'll be nice if I don't have to have a second board.
It looks like option 2 is to use some stock radio receiver IC. But my understanding is that if I do that, I'll need to decode the radio signals myself; the IC isn't going to just tell me the control inputs that the transmitter is sending.
Scott, I went to Best Buy once and sampled all of the headphones. From $10 ones to $200 ones. After trying them all out, I bought the Koss PortaPro due to light weight, great (not boomy, not thin) bass response, flat-sounding response, lower mechanical pressure on ears... list goes on and on. This was in 1993... since then, I've contacted Koss two or three times to order new foam pads. They still make them, and are happy to oblige for a modest fee! Fanboy here too.
So I don't know if that's even feasible to do. Presumably I'll need to choose a transmitter whose transmission protocol is well-documented... right?
@TannerSwett Get a pre-built radio board. Creating an RF board is a specialist task; not every professional EE is equipped for it.

@NickAlexeev Sounds like sound advice, thank you. I'll do that.
