[OT] Koss SB49

[Lee Trout]

*I have used a Koss SB49 - repeat SB49 - headset with my K3 for several
years with good performance. It does indeed have a electret element as does
the CM500. (I wonder if all these headsets use the same source for their
mic element.)  I can't give a comparison between the Koss and the Yamaha
because I have never tried the CM500.  But I have been pleased with the
Koss. The Koss sells for about 30 bux on Amazon.  Caveat Emptor!

Here's a link to the entire line of Koss communication headsets:

I've used a non-microphone headset (Koss Porta-PRO) for years and it's
one of my favorites.  The problem is it's not an over-the-ear style so
the sound isolation isn't very good but the sound is fantastic.  If you
have a quiet shack they're great.
