Last week I posted my impressions of the Koss SB-45 here: http://marc.info/?l=elecraft&m=145134615022993&w=2
I promised an update on long-term comfort after the RTTY Roundup contest, so this is it. I wore this headset for two 12 hour contest sessions this past weekend, and found its comfort equal to or better than the Yamaha CM-500, which most everyone, including myself, seems to think is very good. There is a sweet spot in the headphone height adjustment, where equal pressure is applied above and below the ears, and it feels really super at that point, even for an eyeglass wearer like myself. My ears didn't get as hot as with the CM-500, and the SB-45 headband has nice soft padding that didn't irritate the top of my bald head like the CM-500 sometimes does.
Overall, I think the SB-45 is equal to or better than the CM-500, at about half the price.
