This makes me wonder how noisy people's shacks are? John KK9A Edward R Cole kl7uw wrote: Get a good quality stereo headphone that are comfortable (over the ear muffs for better noise isolation). 73, Ed - KL7UW __ Elecraft

Re: [Elecraft] Head Phones

I have a very old Sony MDR-V600 which is not noise cancelling but great sound and muffs very comfortable over my over-ear hearing aids. I bought the Antlion boom mic which uses a small earth magnet cemented to the head phones to mount the boom mic. I don't use the mic very much in the shack,

Re: [Elecraft] Head Phones

I would make one further recommendationBuy a pair of velour ear pads from Beyer Dynamics. They probably make them for all popular cans. They are much more comfortable than those thin (flaky) vinyl one the phones come with AND they last a lot longer too. 73, Charlie k3ICH

Re: [Elecraft] Head Phones

This would be an easy choice for me. A week and a half ago I wore Sony MDR-7506 headphones for 24 hours in the ARRL RTTY Roundup and there was absolutely no discomfort plus they sound great. I bought these years ago after reading K9YC's comments and I never regretted it. John KK9A W4AAA in 2021

My MDR-1506 are ~20 years old.  Love them.  Recently replaced the pads again.  There are many many different ear pads available on Amazon. On Wednesday, January 13, 2021, 3:51:37 PM MST, JP Douglas wrote: I’ve got a Sennheiser headphone as well, they rock! Also have the Yamaha

Re: [Elecraft] Head Phones

I’ve got a Sennheiser headphone as well, they rock! Also have the Yamaha headset, it’s not as good for noise cancelling as the Senheiser but it does have the mic. Unless I’m in a situation where I have to use a headset with mic, I always go for the Senheiser. 73 de Jose Douglas KB1TCD > On

Re: [Elecraft] Head Phones

The Sony is fine for listening to music, so it should be fine for speech or CW. I tried my Yamaha CM500s for music after my Grado SR-60 headphones finally died, and the Yamaha phones were unlistenable. I went back to Apple ear buds until I got new Grados. OK for speech, but not good enough for

Re: [Elecraft] Head Phones

I have had some Sennheiser noise canceling headphones for perhaps 10 years. They are still going strong with no significant signs of wear. They work well for public service events involving parades because they make it possible to hear while a high school band is playing in your ear. (You

I wear a pair of the Sony 7506 headphones on a regular basis for several hours at a time. Very comfortable and sound good. Logan, KE7AZ Entropy is winning. > On Jan 13, 2021, at 2:38 PM, Clark Macaulay wrote: > > Paul, > > I've used Sony MDR-7506 and heartily recommend it. Like you, I

Paul, I've used Sony MDR-7506 and heartily recommend it. Like you, I don't need a mic, so these were a cut above the lower priced spread. Virus-free. www.avast.com

Know this is a well worn out subject. But looking for a reasonably priced, but comfortable set of headphones. Just the headphones, don't need a mic. A set that is lightweight enough to wear for a few hours but reasonable performance. Any recommendations? 73 Paul w2eck

Re: [Elecraft] Head Phones and a note about Replacing the KI03 I/O

Karl, Did you cut the correct traces? You should read infinity on your meter after the cut, and not 0. Measure across each cut - one probe on one side of the cut and the other probe on the other side of the cut. 73, Don W3FPR KARL MARDERIAN wrote: First off I ran across some people

First off I ran across some people taking about Head Phones and the K3. If I what use a Mono pair of phones, I like the Kenwood HS-5 8 Ohms. They are well mad and sound good. But I regress, at the end of replace KI03, one is told to cut both traces on the RF board, from the bottom of
