[CQ-Contest] Heil headphone pads

[MARK BAILEY]

A big advantage of the older Bose headsets (QC-15 in particular) is replaceable batteries.  The newer headsets have built-in rechargeable batteries and, IIRC, none have a battery life of even close to 48 hours.

If you want to use them on SSB, the AntLion/ModMic microphone add-ons work well.  :-)
