The worst headphones I ever experienced were at a HST competition. They
were Russian military headphones that reminded me of the image of Uncle
Fster with his head in a vice. Not sure if this list accepts pictures,
but guess we'll find out:
Getting back to the original question, I prefer ear buds and have a set
of J2 jbuds. In the days I did operate the entire contest, I could wear
them the whole time without discomfort.

I have a contrarian view of that family of headsets. I've tried them
on several times, when they were first introduced and in the last year
at Visalia. I find them to be VERY uncomfortable, to the point of
being an instrument of torture. Anyone considering one of these
headsets ought to try them on. Even better, trying borrowing a set and
wearing it for a long contest session.
Many years ago, in my role as sound system consultant, I had one of
the early Sennheiser noise cancelling headsets, and was able to try it
out on a couple of airline flights. I liked it, and found it pretty
effective. That was at least 25 years ago, and it's reasonable to
expect that designs by quality mfrs have improved.
Two cautions. First, try them out for RFI. Second, avoid anything with
digital signal processing -- the latency could make it difficult to
send with a paddle.
