W2ENY headset
Locked

Mike:
Thank you for your report. I would have mailed off an order tomorrow. Thanks again. Now will hold off. I bought the Warren Gregoire headset, very comfortable, good reports on sound quality. BUT it is not stereo, therefor the AFX in the K3 is not working. I do have stereo speakers that work well. Using the Elecraft MH-2 (good quality) and Sony headphones, cheep and not very good. Still looking for a good head set for the K3. Next step? thanks, Ty, W1TF, K2 #696 --- On Sat, 2/21/09, W0MU Mike Fatchett <[hidden email]> wrote: > From: W0MU Mike Fatchett <[hidden email]> > Subject: [Elecraft] (no subject) > To: [hidden email] > Cc: "'reflector cq-contest'" <[hidden email]> > Date: Saturday, February 21, 2009, 7:28 PM > I just received the W2ENY headset. > > After trying them out I was very disappointed. > > This headset is a Frisby brand FHP-100.

I like these from Micro Innovations: http://tinyurl.com/d8rsc4 I run them on the K3 with the EQ set flat and get unsolicited compliments on the audio all the time. I've had them for 6 months so far and they seem durable enough. For less that $20, you can't go wrong. I wear them backwards so that the mic ends up on the left side because the radio is to my left and the computer is in front of me. I use a footswitch for PTT.

Sorry Mike was so picky about the headset that cost 1/3 of Heil models having no mic noise cancellation.
Here is an ad that also states the noise cancel feature: http://importbestbuys.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=219&products_id=992&osCsid=dbc43db18a069702adfb29060f3fdbf3 Mike also forgot to mention that I refunded his payment after his weeks of owning it.
