[Elecraft] K3: CM500 vs. SB40

[Jim Brown]

Yes, personal fit and comfort is one of the most important 
characteristics of headsets, especially when we wear them for long 
periods. Which is a great reason why these observations from users is so 
valuable.  Whether the CM500 will work for Ed depends on the size of his 
aids and exact dimensions of the phones. When I don't need a mic, I 
usually wear Sony MDR-7506, which is more comfortable. BUT -- I think 
the muffs are smaller than the CM500 muffs.
