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 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

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. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=icon> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=link> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Wed, Jan 13, 2021 at 4:19 PM Paul Ecker <[hidden email]> wrote: > Know this is a well worn out subject.

I wear a pair of the Sony 7506 headphones on a regular basis for several hours at a time. Very comfortable and sound good.

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 also need a noise canceling mic so others can hear you over the band.) I've never found them to be uncomfortable, even on extended airplane trip, where they reduce the cabin noise level. I use them even if I'm not listening to anything just to reduce the noise level. 73 Bill AE6JV On 1/13/21 at 4:17 PM, [hidden email] (Paul Ecker) wrote: >Know this is a well worn out subject.

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 Jan 13, 2021, at 5:06 PM, Bill Frantz <[hidden email]> wrote: > > I have had some Sennheiser noise canceling headphones for perhaps 10 years.

My MDR-1506 are ~20 years old. Love them. Recently replaced the pads again. There are many many different ear pads available on Amazon.

Yeah BUT.....
The Sony's have much better high freq response. I have severe hearing loss up in the treble range, where the harmonics of a trumpet & snare drum as well as the ring of a Gibson Hummingbird reside. The Yamaha's are good IF your hearing is normal, but I can tell a YUGE difference using the MDR-7506's. 73, Charlie k3ICH -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] <[hidden email]> On Behalf Of Jim Brown Sent: Wednesday, January 13, 2021 5:02 PM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Head Phones On 1/13/2021 1:38 PM, Clark Macaulay wrote: > I've used Sony MDR-7506 and heartily recommend it.

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 RTTY RU Paul Ecker W2ECK Wrote: Know this is a well worn out subject.

I would make one further recommendation....Buy 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 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

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, but the headphone hang on a coat hook by my radio cabinet for frequent use. Boom mic is intended for outdoor use in portable operation with my KX3. I tested the mic on air with my K3 and got good reports with it. I also got a Senheiser noise-cancelling headphone but were not as comfortable as my Bose QC-2 (which I use mainly on aircraft). I gave the Senheiser to my wife. I tried the Yamaha with boom mic but they caused my hearing aids to oscillate (howl) whenever I put them on (so I sold it). Get a good quality stereo headphone that are comfortable (over the ear muffs for better noise isolation). 73, Ed - KL7UW http://www.kl7uw.com Dubus-NA Business mail: [hidden email] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |
