HEIL BM-10 or HEIL Traveler for K2

[Samir Popaja]

Hello,

I'm in process to buy light headset for K2. I'm primary contester. Which
microphone element I should choose for K2?

Any comments about quality of sound and comfort (24h or 48h contest),
BM-10 vs Traveler?

Thank You

I found the pressure of the Traveler became uncomfortable after an hour or so.  I much prefer around-the-ear muffs not pressure on the ear.

Hello Samir ...

I'm not familiar with the BM-10 but do have a Traveler for use with my ICOM
7000 that I sometimes use for portable excursions.  So can't comment about
the audio with a K2, but I would not recommend the Traveler for contest work
because of its construction.  It is very light and flimsy without any good
retention on the ear(s).  It is OK for short periods of time, but would be
annoying for a long contest!

For contests with my K3 I really like my JRC mono headphones - VERY
comfortable and nice for communications audio.  If you need/want stereo,
lots of people are recently recommending the Yamaha CM500, although I have
not personally tried them.
