I have had a couple cheep sets that you would have to hold your head at just the rite place to get them to come in . The people driving buy would look at you a little funny . Thanks Bruce S.

The wife bought me a pair of these. Seem to work good, and have decent reception, fit real tight also.

These do not have the built in radio but plug them into a smartphone or iPod and you have radio. I use these at work almost every day and they work great. I have had them over 6 months and still work like brand new. After I got them a couple other guys got them too and they swear by them.

I have a set of wireless Bluetooth compatible headphones and I keep my music on my phone. Works great!

Couldn't you also just get an inexpensive brand of headphones (but still good DB rating) and use the ear buds under them? I've done that before to listen and mow at the same time.

Those look really good! I didn't know you had those!

I have a set of radio headphones kinda like Zippy posted. They work really good as a radio. They do have a jack that I can plug into my phone and stream Pandora, but I can't get enough volume out of them when plugged into my phone. The problem with them seems to be that when you use the plug, there isn't a separate setting for aux. You just turn the radio on with no volume. I would suggest if you get a set, you find some that have a different setting for the aux plug.

If radio reception (due to ignition interference) becomes a problem, try I Heart Radio on your smart phone.

I have the same set as Todd and I have used them for years and they work pretty good. Just have to change batteries every so often.

I heart.com + my smartphone + my cheapo headphones works super. But most of the time I just use my I-pod + headphones. My I-pod has 600+ pre selected songs that I picked & chose. Not 1 full album just the songs I like.

No need to buy headphones with a transistor radio built in ($$$$) that most of the time has iffy reception.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
