[Elecraft] Noise cancelling headphones

[Peter W2IRT]

The first three are easy. The fourth....not so much. If you're willing to forego wireless you might still be able to find the UFlyMic add-on for the QC-15 headset. They stopped making them for amateur radio applications a while back, unfortunately.

I've never seen a Bluetooth ANR over-the-ear headset.

 This thread seems to be read by some who are familiar with headsets, but
I’m asking a slightly different question...

A) I am looking for a headset/mike combination, with *all* the following.

1) over-the-ear dual headset
2) noise-cancelling headset
3) active noise-cancelling boom microphone
4) wireless, either bluetooth or wireless to USB dongle, bluetooth
preferred, wireless is *required*.

I have tried endless hours of searching, dozens and dozens of different
search parms but cannot get Google, eBay or Amazon to make a list with all
the required conditions. Something always gets ignored.

I know that a Bose A20 aircraft headset can be modified using the battery
and Bluetooth parts only of the plug/cordset. That’s modifying a 1K$
headset.

There used to be an “HP8000” that seemed to fit the bill, but only sold in
EU and Asia. That also was called QD834.  It apparently not made now and
stock gone.

Looking for an answer from someone that knows a manufacturer that makes a
model that matches A) 1-4) above.

Thank you, thank you, thank you if you know the answer.

73, Guy K2AV
