[Elecraft] K3 Audio: from OK to superior

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Any on ear headphone including the Bose OE is not suitable for long
term wear - particularly when wearing eyeglasses as the pressure on
the ears becomes doubly uncomfortable.

The Bose OE is another "twice the price of the CM-500" and without
a boom mic.

73,
