[Elecraft] Need Headphone recommendations for K3

[John Shadle]

Dave,
I love my Sony MDR-7506 headphones. They are comfortable and not tight
on the head (but are over-the-ear headphones, not earbuds), but the
cushions provide a good "seal" between your listening and the outside
noise. They're also great for listening to music.

They're pricey at ~$100 from Amazon (also available other places).
Gold connector and screw-on 1/4" connector (to the 1/8" standard
connector).

I use them along with the Elecraft MD2 microphone. Good combination
for both SSB and CW.

Good luck!
