Tom and All,
I have had much the same experience with my ProSet. I made a post quite
similar to yours some time back, and got lots of replies to the contrary.
All this leads me to believe there are some inconsistencies in the
production of these headsets. The more recent series of posts only
strengthens my belief that differences do exist. That shouldn't be the
case, but it seems to be so. Heil has never owned up to it though, at least
when I asked about it at Dayton. I'd sure like to do an "A/B" test with a
newer set. Mine are several years old.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 - How to get more headphone output.
Must admit that I've never been completely 'thrilled' with the performance
of my 10+ year old Heil ProSet cans when used with my K2 or my K3.
I've almost always had to crank up the AF Gain higher than that which gave
more than ample AF output to the attached speakers.
I've even gone to the point of considering trying to replace the OEM
headphone elements with some small 8-Ohm speakers... haven't done it (yet)
but it's certainly been on my agenda to research.

Just FYI my AF GAIN is set to LO, and I still have plenty of gain. I'm
not
sure about the actual impedance of my Heils but I've never had any
problems
with a TS-930S, FT-1000MP, Orion or the K3. They were a little weak when
used with my K2 however.
