Is there such a thing as a noise cancelling black box you can plug in a headset such as the CM-500 and get good noise canceling? No knobs. Just an ON-OFF switch like the headsets have.
And thinking of the CM-500. Has anyone found a set of material covers that fit their ear covers? I would think they would be more comfortable than the plastic against your head. And they would look better than the pieces of paper towels I presently use when wearing the headphones for extended periods. :-) 73, N2TK, Tony -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Gary Smith Sent: Thursday, December 26, 2013 2:58 AM To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Noise Cancelling Headphones I use the Bose QC-15 as about all I do is CW and the audio on these is wonderful. The noise cancelling though is almost 100% perfect; my old Alpha with its blower is 18" from my head and with the QC-15 on I can't but just barely tell the amp is on or off. I was thinking about getting a headset with a mic & though Bose does make the A20 for pilots, at $1100 for what is essentially the QC-15 with a boom mic, I'll pass. They do make a A100T snap on mic for the QC15 but they are $250 for just the mic. I was referred by quite a few people here to check out the Yamaha CM500 for a fine mic, quick match to the K3 and comfortable headsets & at $59. I'm so happy with the Bose QC15 that I'm going to keep using these and am going to need to figure out another way to get a mic into the K3 in a way that will be convenient for contesting should I ever decide to do a phone contest. I have an Electrovoice RE-10 which would probably be nice & needs no power & maybe I can make a clamp-on boom that I can remove from the desk once the contest is over. I also have several condenser mics but they are for recording and would be excess and just problematic for ham use. Anyone have any suggestion of a removable boom mic other than the A100T that will attach to the QC-15 and make it simple to use and then remove when the contest is over? I don't want to use velcro.
