[ICOM] Best Headphones

[Tim Duffy K3LR]

I apologize if this has been mentioned here before, but hands down, the
operators at K3LR recognize the Bose Quiet Comfort (version 1 is great)
as the best headphones they have ever used. With the patented noise
canceling technology, they are simply amazing. A bit pricey at $150 to
$200 used on Ebay, but the experience is worth it.

You can see the ops using them on the Photos 2004 portion of my Web
site.

73!
