Lack of highs? Not mine,besides,does any ham transmit today with more than 4000Hz at the high end? answer is NO,most of them are below 3000Hz,at that freq ANY headset will response well.Also I injected an audio generator to my CM-500 from 20 to 5000Hz and I heard the tone from 60(my ears) all the way up to 5000Hz with same level,I don't see why they has "lack of highs".Besides the K3 has an excellent RX EQ and you can tailor the received audio to your personal taste so If you think it has too much lows,then cut them up with it. I have been using those Yamaha for more than a year and for me they sound as well as ANY other headset. Maybe some users feel bad because they are "cheap" compared with Heil, Senhisser,and others.

I have not put it on the air yet as I was thoroughly disappointed with the headphones on receive. There seems to be a profound lack of highs compared to any other headphones I own including a pair of Heil and a pair of Koss. I also strongly dislike the fact that each earpiece has a wire coming out of it. I'll keep using my Heil proset until they break.
