What correction, Jim? Mine are from an iPhone 5s and work fine with KX2, KX3, various MP3 players, etc. They look like this:

Caveat: I use only the right side because my left ear doesn't work

Phil,

Correction: earbuds in- question are from iPhone 5 and have 4-conductor plug. They do work with the iPhone but not with KX2.

My Apple earbuds with 4-conductor do work on my KX2, Jim.

Just got my KX2 with ATU & internal battery. Waiting on my paddles. Have a number 
of power sources & antennas to try. Meantime, I have a couple of questions.

1) cabling for digital modes. Looking to run PSK-31 & WSJT-X. Am experienced with those 
modes on Icom 756 Pro II, Flex 1500, and K3. All I need is the cables. From looking at the 
schematics it looks like all  I need is a couple of 1/8" stereo Male-to-Male cables. No 
real question about the receive side. Looks like the transmit side (KX2 mic input) is a 
4-conductor jack with separate signal & logic grounds. Will it work with a 3-conductor 
cable which would seem to short the grounds together?

BTW, I discovered that Apple iPod earbuds (4-conductor plug) don't work. I tried pushing 
the plug all the way in, and pulling it out part way. No joy. My expensive Bose earphone 
work well, as do my inexpensive over-the-ear "cans". Looking for a set of 
earbuds with 3-conductor plug to keep the package small.

2) can anybody recommend a small (cheap) headset? Maybe a computer, telephone, 
or gaming headset?  I'll probably spring for the MH3, but would like a 
hands-free option.

KX2 is going along  to a family reunion this weekend. We are both looking 
forward to it.

73,

Jim, WK8G
