[Elecraft] K3 - 'High Isolation Headphones'

[turnbull]

If one checks the website for these phones previously given there is a link to a UK distributor.   The EX 29 price delivered to EI land is about £99.

I have also tried ear defenders and sony earplug phones.   It is indeed very quiet but the defenders are uncomfortable to wear.  The clamping action over the full period of a contest is uncomfortable and tiring.  I would prefer the Pro-Set Plus by Heil even though they do not block external sounds nearly as well. I am going to try the EX 29.
