[Elecraft] Headphones

Wed Feb 5 11:21:00 2003

Guess I am fortunate, Sverre, to have a high-output K2.

But your point is well made. They are "cheap" headphones that appealed
to me largely for that reason since my Heil ProSet will not fit in my
field case for the K2, and the little Koss o phones will. And they are
surprisingly comfortable; and come with a spare set of ear covers.

I have read that Radio Shack has been selling out a much better Koss
headphone for abut $10 - probably a much better phone . . .
