[SCCC] CW Headphones

[Timothy Coker]

Danny and Chris turned me on to the Bose QC25’s as they were preparing for WRTC at John’s house. I ordered them and have been amazed.
The noise cancelling is amazing for fan, air conditioning, talking, etc ambient noise. I can hear so much more of what I want to hear now. Not sure about the specific responses in regards to Hz as I haven’t gotten there yet with my hearing.
For voice use an add on boom mounted microphone is used that has a great response for keeping average power up.
Comfort is much better than the CM500’s that I am coming from.
I’ve ordered two now on Amazon used from Adorama and have been very happy.

So I've decided that my 45+ year-old headphones, which still work 
perfectly fine but whose plastic cushions and ancient olde foam are 
all cracked, dried-up or otherwise done for (nearly like me) over 20 
years ago, just might be up for upgrading and replacement. I've 
perused the available Heil phones but for one reason or another, 
don't think those will fit the bill. Dunno about the MFJ phones but 
there doesn't seem to be much data on them. Ordinary computer phones 
such as "dynamic" types are a no-go; they just don't have the 
presence or volume that my deaf ears require. They're good to fall 
asleep with, but nothing to dig deeply into pileups with.

I'm looking for headphones that do NOT have "peaking" or "emphasis" 
in the above-1000-cycle range; i.e., I'm not the least bit interested 
in high frequency response (and particularly not voice 
communications) since almost all (99.995%) of my operating is with my 
narrow CW filters in and radios and filters peaked around the 660 Hz 
range (or lower for certain weaker signals). They must be no higher 
than 16 ohms and preferably 8 ohms.

Any suggestions?
