[UK-CONTEST] Heil Headset Question

[Paul Beecham]

The Proset plus works very well  but when new are very uncomfortable as they 
tend to dig in to your ear's as the headband is very tightly sprung.
I have 2 set's here and only after 2 year's or so of heavy use by various 
op's have they become less painfull to wear for prolonged period's.

IMHO (and bear in mind I don't use SSB that much) you'd probably be
better going for the Pro-Set with an HC-5 insert rather that a Pro-Set
Plus with both inserts. Why? The Pro-Set is a lot lighter and more
comfortable than the Plus and with DSP TX equalising available on modern
rigs as standard you can make the HC-5 insert sound just as shrill and
piercing as the HC-5! I spent quite a bit of time a few months ago
messing around with various settings before reaching these conclusions,
BTW the best brightest audio was produced by a an old Shure 444D which
made the Heils sound positively "muddy" I have the samples here in MP3
format, if you'd like them just ask.
