[Elecraft] Headphones

[g4mkp]

Anyone looking for headphones?

 

I have been using the Heil Pro Set headphones for some time with my K3.
However, for cw contesting I have always felt that are a little ‘sharp’ and
quite uncomfortable after an hour or so. Last week I bought the Bose QC2 and
tried those. Whilst the audio quality is ok, for the price (£220) they are
not that good. Also, the cupped earpieces are probably fine for noise
cancelling during long haul flights, I’m not convinced that they are best
suited for my needs in the shack. I returned the QC2 phones and replaced
them with the Bose on-ear phones (£117). Audio very nice (cw copy is
particularly pleasing), and I guess with a difference impedance to the Heil,
a little less drive required fro the rig. They are comfortable and unlike
the cupped earpiece, I’m aware of other sounds around the shack. The Pro Set
phones only needed for SSB work now. 

 

Cheers,
