[Elecraft] Recommendation for Microphone for K3s?

[Walter Underwood]

I would never recommend the CM500 for music. I tried that after my Grado headphones died and quickly switched to Apple earbuds. Then I ordered new, upgraded Grado headphones.

I’m always surprised at all the ham-specific headsets when there are actual professional broadcast headsets from Audio-Technica and Sennheiser with real vocal mics.

They were a total game changer for me in terms of comfort and clarity.I am almost exclusively a CW guy.  This was the first field day in years I didn’t end up throwing a headset across the tent in frustration with fit and bad sound-particularly the Yamahas. Also the sound isolation for me is second to none. As a professional studio musician for 40 years I’ve suffered through a lot of bad phones….
