[Elecraft] Head Phones

[Edward R Cole]

I have a very old Sony MDR-V600 which is not noise cancelling but 
great sound and muffs very comfortable over my over-ear hearing 
aids.  I bought the Antlion boom mic which uses a small earth magnet 
cemented to the head phones to mount the boom mic.  I don't use the 
mic very much in the shack, but the headphone hang on a coat hook by 
my radio cabinet for  frequent use.  Boom mic is intended for outdoor 
use in portable operation with my KX3.  I tested the mic on air with 
my K3 and got good reports with it.

I also got a Senheiser noise-cancelling headphone but were not as 
comfortable as my Bose QC-2 (which I use mainly on aircraft).  I gave 
the Senheiser to my wife.

I tried the Yamaha with boom mic but they caused my hearing aids to 
oscillate (howl) whenever I put them on (so I sold it).

Get a good quality stereo headphone that are comfortable (over the 
ear muffs for better noise isolation).
