[Elecraft] KX1 Headphones

[Mike Fitzgibbon]

Here(below) are the Sennheisers that I use...they work great with the 
KX1...plenty of volume.  I have the original HD25 Studio Monitors...not 
the IIs...but they are probably the same...  They are not cheap, but 
worth the 150 bux I paid for them back a few years.  I use them with all 
the qrp rigs.  They are that good.  They are also quite light and very 
comfortable.

The one effect you see with cheap headphones is an over-emphasis of the 
higher audio frequencies...that makes the hiss(that we commonly 
encounter with receiver circuits) quite a bit louder.  These phones have 
a very level frequency response and just plain sound great...they are 
easy to listen to(and wear) for long periods.   I used to be heavily 
into the audiophile stuff(back in the 70's) and have owned several sets 
of Sennheisers...and still do...they are the Mercedes of phones...I 
fully recommend them if you want this type of phone.
