[Elecraft] KX1 headphones

[Erik N Basilier]

Thanks all for the suggestions!
Not having fallen yet for the fashionable pocket music players, I wasn't 
aware of how much money young people can spend on earbuds, nor that the 
in-ear style is back into fashion. OK, I have an expensive headset for phone 
operation, and I appreciate expensive units for music, but I can't see 
paying a lot for frequency response when the radio is cw only. When I looked 
up all the earbuds etc available from RS, the selection is quite staggering, 
but the "spec's" don't say anything about sensitivity; the fine audio brands 
mostly don't specify sensitivity either. I think my next step will be to 
visit the nearby RS where the mgr recognizes me, and then try as many models 
as he will let me...

73,
