[ct-user] Custom Earbuds for Contesting Quer

[Mark Bailey]

Hi Terry:

The aviation folks are doing these WITH noise cancelling.  The
frequency response SHOULD be tailored to voice communications.

For example, see

http://www.lightspeedaviation.com/content.cfm/Products/MACH-1/MACH-1-Headset

and other headsets at lightspeedaviation.com.  For an overview of
other manufacturers, try www.sportys.com and look for the aviation
site.
