[CW] Headphones or Loudspeaker?

[Richard Knoppow]

    I will also vote for headphones. I have several pairs of old 
fashioned magnetic phones and also modern hi-fi ones. The old 
kind are resonant and that is sometimes helpful. OTOH, it can 
ring on noise. Favorites are Trimm Featherweight or Commercial 
phones. Light and not head crushers.
     Also, I am rather deaf and find headphones definitely help.

I am torn between my loudspeaker and my Heil Headphones... my issue is that I can listen to the loudspeaker for hours in great comfort and since my shack is generally quiet it works well. However, in a pinch very noisy band conditions will drive me to the headphones. Not sure why but it seems that I can hear the weal signals a little better with them...
