[OKDXA] Noise Cancelling Headphones

[Coy Day]

Jim,

I looked at the Heil sets and didn't want to invest that much without 
knowing what I would gain.  Now that I know how great these things are,
I'll save up my nickels so that I can buy the nice Heil set with the 
Boom mike.

I have not tried them but hear they are good.  Heil also offers boom mike
sets and head sets with noise cancelling.  They show the headphones to $99.
You can see them at www.heilsound.com/amateur/quite_phone.htm.
