[Elecraft] Noise Cancelling Headphones

[Randy Farmer]

The Radiosport RS 20 headphones are the way to go. They're not cheap, 
but they really do the job. They have NO electronic circuitry to give 
RFI problems, just 24 dB of noise reduction due to their excellent 
acoustic isolation. When I have them on with any receiver audio at all 
going I can't hear the phone ring on my operating desk. They're also 
extremely comfortable -- the only headphones I've ever used that let me 
operate the full 24 hours of Sweepstakes with zero discomfort. Their 
build quality is light years beyond the cheap plastic construction of 
the Heil, Bose or Yamaha phones. The RS 60 has the same headset with the 
addition of a boom microphone for phone operation.
