[Elecraft] K3 headphones

[Steve Ellington]

Gary:
Did you search the archives? This topic has been run into the ground many 
times.
Most any headphone can faithfully reproduce voice. If I were contesting, I 
would use a "Headset" instead of headphones. Headsets have microphones. This 
greatly limits your choices but as you requested, I can NOT be brand 
specific due to your secret location.
For contesting you should be concerned with comfort and since we all have 
different ideas about that, you'll have to try some on yourself. I prefer an 
"over the ear" cup for long periods. Can't mention brand though! As for 
Ohms; Mine are 32 ohms. I have an 8 ohm set and it is much louder plus it 
sounds better but squishes my ear lobes so I can't wear them for more than a 
few minutes. Can't mention brand.

BTW: The maker of the K3 sells a nice headset. Sorry, can't mention brand.

To provide best sensitivity, clarity and faithful reproduction during 
contesting, what would be the preferred specification that is NOT brand 
specific as many headphones are not available where I live.

Having looked around a bit I see varying types ranging from 4 to 600 Ohms 
and I would appreciate it very much if somebody could steer me in the right 
direction.

I would prefer to use the front Jack and I will be using SSB and working 
weak signal stations.

All advice welcome from the group.
