[Elecraft] Headphones

The Koss headphones' sensitivity is only 89 dB/mW, and unless you have a
K2 with exceptionally high audio output, I would not recommend
headphones with less than about 100 dB SPL/mW. Personally I use a pair
with 106 dB/mW and others have recommended headphones with a sensitivity
as high as 114 dB/mW. 

73 and good listening ...
