[Elecraft] KX1 earphones

Mon Jan 19 13:27:00 2004

I want to thank everyone for this thread.  I'm going on the T33C trip
later this year, and we're severely weight limited.  And in a multi-op
DXpedition environment sound isolation can be mandatory since
generators, 'phone ops and even some CW ops can be noisy. I've got
several versions of sound-plug type earphone, including the Koss, but
as far as I can tell the Koss with modifications are the best for me,
and inexpensive enough so I can take a couple of sets.  Plug type
headphones also can help with sore ears, a real annoyance after
operating 12 hours a day for a week.

   Rick, 

   Try http://headwize2.powerpill.org/proj.  Otherwise a search for Koss the
   Plug will yield some sites.

   I just picked up a pair of the Koss Plug earphones last night.  While I do
   like them
   a lot, I'm also curios what to do when the original foam plugs wear out.
   Can you
   pass along the URL for the website you mention?

   TNX.
