Hi
Since last year I have been using BOSE QC25 with ModMic 4.0, very cool no
problems what-so-ever.

> - good TX sound quality - no doubt can be refined with K3 EQ adjustment,

> I'd taken the QC15s to Niue as I like noise cancelling on a multistation
> DXpedition (or contest) for CW. Being able to use them also for SSB was a

> No connection with the company, etc.
