[CQ-Contest] Headphones...hard wired

[Jim McDonald]

I really like my Sennheiser HD 280 PRO headphones.  They are comfortable, have crisp sound, and 32 dB attenuation of outside sound.  A version is available with a boom mic, but I haven't tried that.

After six or seven years of daily use, I sent them in to the repair facility in SE WI for their flat rate of $47 or so.  They replaced them with a new pair.

They have good ratings on eHam.net.

I also have Bose QC2 noise cancelling headphones, which are OK, but I prefer the Sennheiser.

Amazon has them as Prime for $99.95.

The Sony MDR-7506 are excellent for ham use, but if you need noise
cancelling they're definitely not for you.   They have little to no isolation
from ambient room noise.
