K3 Bose Headsets

[TG9AJR Juan Munoz]

Sorry if this has been cover before.

I will like to know your experience with the K3 and the Bose headsets:

1. Bose QuietComfort 15 (this has to be modify to adapt the boom mike).
2. Bose A20 Aviation Headset.

Besides your comments, if anyone has information of any modifications require
to be use with the K3.

In advance many thanks and look forward to hear from you.

Juan,

I have used the Bose QuietComfort (headset only) and they work FB. However,
the noise-canceling feature is not very useful in my ham shack. It does
little to reduce random noise like people talking, dog barking, kitchen
clanging, etc. It's really more suited for cutting out the drone of airplane
engines and other constant or reoccurring noises.

If you want a good headset with boom-mike you might consider the Yamaha
CM500. They work great with the K3. Unlike the Bose which requires a "AAA"
battery, the CM500 can be powered directly by the K3 by selecting the mic
power using the menu. The CM500 costs a lot less too (<$60.)

73, Fred, K-Line
