[Elecraft] K3 - 'High Isolation Headphones'

[Hector Padron]

Well I spent this past weekend 18 hours in radio on saturday and sunday with my Yamaha CM-500 on my head all the time,either on CW or SSB and felt no tired,they are smooth and weight little in my head,isolation is perfect.Family at the living room with the big TV and sorround sound very loud don't bother me anymore,its another choice,for only $42 sold in the states by B&H  NY.

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.
