[Elecraft] Noise cancelling headphones

[Gary Smith]

I've never tried the RS60CF but I can say 
the Bose QC15 are the only headphones I 
choose to use in a long contest. I have a 
pair of Heil Headsets my father owned and 
wearing them for an hour is uncomfortable. 
The QC-15? I wear them day and night 
without discomfort.
