Re: [Elecraft] Ear Buds with Microphone
I bought the parts to make the adapter cable to use my cell-phone earbuds on my KX2. I haven't built it yet. I suspect that your voice won't be quite as full and up-front with the earbuds mic vs. some other, but if you really need to travel light, it should work.

RE: [Elecraft] Ear Buds
I know this has been discussed on the reflector, but I can't find it in the archives after a bit of searching. I have the RS equivalent of the Koss Ear Plugs which work great on my KX1 for an old guy who can't hear any more. However, I can't get them into my ears so they'll stay for any length of time. Leave it to all you hardcore kit builders and home brewers to carve up ear plugs and turn this into a project. :-) I use these at the gym and they're fantastic: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=5335728type=productid=105182 6204625 They're from Sony and they're $40. They fit nicely in the ear and block out background noise. They have good frequency response. I've tried other earbuds and I don't understand what species they're designed for. These Sonys fit right into the ear canal. They're great. Craig NZ0R ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

Re: [Elecraft] Ear buds fo rthe KX-1
Hi Rich... They were the Sony earbuds 120 dB/mW. I couldn't find the exact one, so I bought the Sony MDR-EX51LP (100dB/mW). Plenty loud and they are the most comfortable earbuds ever. Only thing I find, you can hear your own breathing if signals are weak, and if you take you eyes off the cord, it will tie itself in a knot! Remember for comfort (important), they are second to none! 72, Paul --- Richard Arland [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I remember seeing some information regarding the prefered: ear buds for the KX-1.

Re: [Elecraft] Ear buds fo rthe KX-1
Hi Richard; I think you are refering to The Plug by Koss. Many sites are selling them including ebay.

Re: [Elecraft] Ear-buds for KX1
I agree that The Plug by Koss are acceptable earbuds. They are rated at 110 db. I wear hearing aids, so need the best I can find. If anyone knows about any earbuds better than the Koss ones, I'd appreciate hearing about it. (Pun intended.) BTW, worked Antarctica from Indianapolis on the KX1 running about 3.3 watts to a long wire last night.

Re: [Elecraft] Ear-buds?
The Plug by Koss gives me all the sound I can stand. Great for portable work since they are very small. Jimmy, AE4DT [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Has anyone done any experimenting with various ear-buds?

Re: [Elecraft] Ear-buds?
Don, there is a sensitivity rating on the better quality earbuds packages. Some of the Sony models are quite efficient among others. The cheap unlisted specs models vary all over the place. Plus, the insulation gets stiff on the Dollar store brands. 72, Stuart K5KVH ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] Ear-buds?
Don, I have both Sony earbuds and The Plug by Koss. The Sonys may have slightly higher mfg. reported sensitivity, but the The Plug has a sound channel that goes deeper into the ear. The Plug has silicone buds that seal out ambient noise. The Sonys dont seal. There used to be a website that offered plug mods on The Plug, butmy link is dead. Koss has improved the silicone plugs from earlier editions and each set now comes with several different styles of plugs. I find myself using the Koss more than the Sony. I have read that some ear shapes dont easily accommodate the silicone plugs, however. Gil/NN4CW K2 3104; KX1 53. _ Dont just search. Find.
