Great SSB receive audio from your K3 or KX3

[Elecraft mailing list]

I use the Elecraft SP3, Bose QC25, Yamaha CM-500, HyperX Cloud Pro and Apple earbuds.  I have found the Apple earbuds to produce the most articulate SSB reception.

I am 75 years old and wear hearing aids.  With the SP3 and all of the closed earmuff headsets, wearing my hearing aids makes a HUGE difference in SSB intelligibility.  However, with the Apple earbuds the hearing aids are neither required nor make any difference.

I agree, the CM500 is not much for listening to music, but they do quite
nicely for frequencies used for communications - and I can use them
without removing my hearing aids - others may have different results.

I received Bose QC35 II headphones for Christmas and compared them to my new Grado SR225e headphones. The Bose are OK if I’m not paying attention to the music, but they’d never be mistaken for hi-fi headphones.
