I'll second the Sony for CW and non-voice modes.For SSB I love the Irad W1https://www.vibroplex.com/contents/en-us/d9164.htmlThey are fantastic and very comfortable. All that said, headphone choice is a very personal one. In particular the fit and comfort.I'm kind of a headphone/headset junkie.I also like the Yamaha and Koss a lot.73,Gary K9GS -------- Original message --------From: j...@kk9a.com Date: 5/6/20 9:25 PM (GMT-06:00) To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Headphones If you do not need a microphone, the Sony MDR-7506 that K9YC has mentionednumerous times on this list is just awesome. These are high qualityheadphones that sound great and are super comfortable.

They were fine for a whilebut the microphone was very loose and kept getting in the way and then thefoam earpiece covering all fell apart. So, when I thought about it, itoccurred to me that the younger generation that does a lot of gaming forhours on end must need something that worked well and are comfortable forlong periods. I did a little research and then bought a "Pro Gamer" headsetHyperX Cloud. Not as cheap as the Yamaha but not as pricey as Heil. (I'vehad Heil headsets over the years and never been really happy with them).The real clincher was that the HyperX has a detachable microphone so now Ihave something to stir my tea with. (The only use I have for it).I am very pleased, they seem to perform well with the K3 and I find themdurable and comfortable. But, as someone else said, every person isdifferent.73, Mike, WM5DX.______________________________________________________________Elecraft mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraftHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:elecr...@mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.htmlMessage delivered to k...@gjschwartz.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net
