Anyone have a favorite over the ear headset/mic combo for #hamradio? Heil? Others? #amateurradio

    @bud_t@m.ai6yr.org I've never been happy with the cost/value of Heil headseats; they're just so expensive compared to the pro audio gear I've spent a lifetime with. But... They're solid, and while all the parts are overpriced, you can order what you need and get on the air without fuss, and that has value in a small niche like ham radio. And while I've tried others, I keep using my Heil headset.

    @bud_t@m.ai6yr.org I've never really used anything other than Heil, and I've always been impressed

    @bud_t@m.ai6yr.org I recently tested a Koss SB-40. Great headset for the price but too bulky for me. I went back to Heil. I will try a W2ENY headset next time.

    Myself, I'm partial to the Arlan Communications Radiosport RS60CF headset. http://www.arlancommunications.com/products/amateurRadio/radioSport/Headsets.asp @bud_t@m.ai6yr.org #HamR #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #Headset

    @bud_t@m.ai6yr.org My headset for Yaesu is Audio-Technica BPHS1. I replaced the original ear pads with softer ones.
