[Elecraft] HEADSETS (WAS : Re: KX3 Order...mic )

[stan levandowski]

May I offer two excellent headphone choices at two different price 
levels.  The Sennheiser HD280PRO (approx $100) is (IMHO) a superb value 
for the money and very comfortable.  For $189 (Sporty's Pilot Shop) you 
can buy a David Clark H10S-DC ("listen only") headset.  I can discern no 
difference between the two in terms of comfort or audio level.  Both 
come with 1/8" stereo terminations and include 1/4" stereo/mono 
adapters.  The David Clark headset has higher "clamping pressure" but it 
does not compromise comfort level as the gel pads are quite effective. 
The extra $$ for the David Clark doesn't really buy any improved 
performance - per se - but I've been using David Clark cans in my 
airplanes since 1973 and I've never had one fail -- never.

Happy New Year,
