My hearing has rolled off and away over the years and I find the hi-fi phones give me an edge on hearing high notes to enhance intelligence -- you young guys (any left) probably want comm phones. My favorites are Sony MDR-605 and RS Titaniums "Peter Lemken" wrote in message ... On average I've found hi-fi phones more comfortable than the communications variety. Agreed. And while audio quality is important, comfort is a lot more important when you spend a couple of hours at the rig. In that respect the Heil set and other "special" headphones are way too incomfortable and I cannot discern any advantages over a good HiFi-set in terms of audio reproduction. My headphone of choice is the KOSS Porta Pro, which is a very leightweight, foldable and yet stable headphone with excellent sound quality for any kind of rig and you can wear it during a lonf contest weekend without suffering from massive headaches. There is an extra set of rubber foam on the headband that reduces pressure on one's ear and makes wearing these pure pleasure. http://www.portabledvdstore.com/kosporpropor.html I showed these to a couple of active hams, most of them CW ragchewers and contesters, and by now roughly 30 hams I know have bought the set and are super happy with it. All of them know the Heil headset and report that it is vastly inferior in terms of comfort and audio quality. The only letdown is the fact that you don't want to run a MM-SSB contest ;-) Peter Lemken DF5JT Berlin -- "dass wir keine sklavenarbeit mehr haben zeigt doch, dass der Marktwirtschaft ueberhaupt kein raum zu ihrer entfaltung gelassen wird." -- frank paulsen in d.a.t.u |
