Interesting!   I have about a dozen different headsets around here from aircraft style to 
Koss stereo HiFi, various types from the FM broadcast station and two pairs of Trimm 
Professionals, the ones with a metal diaphragm.  Guess which I prefer on CW?  Yep, the 
Trimm's.  They have a nice clean, crisp sound unmatched by all the others.  Very 
uncomfortable though until I found some Radio Shack foam pads that fit perfectly.

Just goes to show how different our preferences are and what challenges equipment 
designers have in designing equipment that works well for all users.  A lot more difficult 
job than we might think.

Everyone have a nice Memorial Day and please remember and honor those who gave 
their lives that the rest of us could be free.

73,
