higher sensitivity headset

I know this subject has been addressed before but I need a refresher.

I am looking for a higher sensitivity headset for my KX1.

I am using a Sennheiser HDC451. I really like the fit but would like a bit
more audio.

These headsets are what are called supra-aural. They don't enclose my ears,
they don't stick into my ears, I really don't like earbuds. These are like
flat speakers that lay gently against my ears. These specific headphones are
noise cancelling, but this is not what I need, I almost never turn the
cancellation on.

I can't find the specs now but from memory I think the sensitivity is 107
dB. More is better.

I got a pair of Radio Shack ear buds that say "Koss" in very fine print,
however I need hearing aids and even they weren't sensitive enough. I
picked up a little headphone amplifier, also at RS, that works great.
It allows you to plug three headsets in too. It fits in the pouch of
the little nylon case I keep my KX1 in.
