Amen!  Interesting to note that the operators of  'world class' contest 
stations never appear to suffer from sore throats caused by shouting during 
a contest period, while some other folk end up 'croaking'.

My Heil ProSet Plus headset allows my rigs to be driven to full output 
without shouting, including an unmodified K2/100 #3255 without an external 
audio preamp, and is comfortable to wear for long periods. The combination 
of the HC5 mic element and 2.1 kHz transmitter filters breaks pile-ups 
without having to use the HC4 mic element, at the same time receives 
complimentary reports on audio quality. External acoustic noise has never 
been a problem here.

Agree about having the smaller plug for the headphone connection, but would 
suggest that it be a stereo plug rather than a mono plug to allow use of 
binaural outputs..


Happy New Year to everybody!
