[TenTec] Model 777 headset

[Speer, Doug]

I received my new Ten-Tec Model 777 headset w/boom mic this past Friday.  My initial assessment is positive.  Of course you have to realize I was using a pair of $5.95 IPOD type headphones before I got the 777 set.  Sound quality from the headphones is very good on both CW and SSB.  The impedance match is much better than the aforementioned IPOD phones and I get the same audio level in the phones with far less gain audio gain on the rig.  Initial reports of transmit audio with the DX mic element were good.  There appears to be plenty of room to tailor the audio to most people's liking using only the built in adjustments of the Orion II.  My only negative so far is the clamping force on my head seems a bit high. 

I have never owned a Heil set or the Yamaha set that has been recommended on this reflector therefore my report is not intended to be a comparative report.
