The boom is something I could really do without as I'm happy w/ my
mic. I'm much more interested in the headphones themselves. I've been
reading DX books and it would seem that most headphones are designed
for high fidelity listening between 50 and 20,000 Hz. CW it says runs
from 250 - 1000 Hz and SSB from 300 - 3000. It goes on to say that
most transceivers generate white noise beyond 10000 and can be very
tiring for a listener.

So I was wondering if these Heil headphones are more meant for this
type of application taking into account the above.
