Headphone discussion

Paul-30
I need a new pair of headphones as my Stanton Lab's are finally worn ragged (after about 30 years). Apparently, they don't make 'em anymore.
I wonder if either the Yamaha or the Koss microphones (referred to in this list) can be removed? Or is there an equivalent model with no mic?
I only work CW here.

Thanks,

Paul

Radio Shack has a number of decent looking and well-reviewed over the
ear headphones in their on-line store.  Many good ones in the $15 to $20
range.  I purchased some from them a few years ago, and have been
pleased with their comfort and performance.   As usual, no connection
with Radio Shack, just a satisfied customer. .

I've been really happy with Sennheiser HD202's, and they are
available for less than $25.  Another gem IMHO is the Audio-Technical
ATR30 microphone for under $30.

MCM Electronics has some headphones that cost from $5 to $40 dollars... I have the Stellear Noise canceling head sets I bought for $20, and as an All CW guy in a VERY noisy shack, I wouldn't have anything else.  For the money, you can't beat them.
 

http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/STELLAR-LABS-35-2200-/35-2200

 

Plus they have a some what low impedance of 32 Ohms so the volume is MORE than enough.  See if you can get on the mailing list, and just get the 10% off and 20% off when they go on sale every 3 months...

Based on advice of this group I bought Yamaha CM500. The headphones are high impedance -130 Ohms, which makes older K3 have better low frequency response.

The microphone in this headset is pretty good; after many tests some say it is better than HEIL HC5 and some say it is worse, but the differences are small. These headphones look more professional than many computer headsets.
