[Elecraft] OT: Bose QC Mic Modification

[DW Holtman]

Hello,

The high range of my hearing is greatly attenuated from too many years 
working on Flight decks and around jet engines. So I have no need for a pair 
of high performance $250.00 headphones. But, I'm looking for a new set. Does 
anyone have any recommendations for a full size pair in the $50.00 range?

Best,
DW Holtmen
