Because it keeps the tangle of wires to a minimum given the way I have
things laid out.  Also, I usually only use the CM-500 mic for the Kansas
QSO Party in August each year.  Otherwise I am using an MC-60 desk mic.
For 363 days it would be in the way!  ;-)

When not in use the headphones are laid off to the side and the wire is
coiled up with them.  Forunately, my hearing is still good enough that I
don't need them often as a pair of external speakers work well for me
although I do prefer the 'phones when operating CW.
