The absolute best is the Radiosport RS-60CF. Pricey, but well worth the investment. They're the only headset I can wear for many hours at a stretch without pain or fatigue.

Thank you N4OO for letting me know my audio was not good on my first NAQP contact.  Following N4OO’s report, I discovered it was beyond “not good,” it was terrible – using the Heil headset I have had literally for decades.  Audio seems to be OK using the Yaesu desk mike, so when I finish with this email I may try to give out a few contest QSOs.

 

However, what is your recommendation for a contest headset, to be used with a FTDX 5000? 

 

Thanks for your thoughts/73/Stay Safe!
