[CQ-Contest] Headsets w/ mic's

[Gary K9GS]

Morning Kelly,

One of the guys in our DX club tried them a few years ago.  He didn't 
like them at all.  From what I recall, they were uncomfortable and heavy.

This might not be the cheapest solution as this is a video editing headset geared to the professional market. It is priced around EUR 80.00, but there is a gaming version available with a lower price tag. The only difference from what I recall is that the gaming version is black.
