I had a cat that loved to sleep on top of my K2, while looking out the

I thought about VOX Bill and it is a good suggestion for minimizing the
clutter. However, I usually have a 2m HT on in the background to catch
local summit-to-summit contacts, so that pretty much kills that idea.
Besides VOX has always kinda scared me given the potential for unwanted TX.

When I had my radio set up about 20 feet from the kitchen, I used a foot switch
so my replies to my wife didn’t go out over the air. When I moved to New
Hampshire and my shack moved into an isolated room, I started using VOX, which
works very well on my K3.
VOX definitely eliminates one piece
Just a couple more comments on the Antion ModMic:
I plug into the rear mic jack on my K3 and the front jack of the KX3
using an adapter cable.
The tiny boom mic has a foam cover for resisting wind-blast. Also has
two settings: normal mic and cardiode pattern. On-air reports the

Get a Heil AD1-K or the INRAD equivalent adapter. That will
provide you an 1/8" jack for the mic and a 1/4" jack for a
foot switch or hand PTT from the front panel regardless of
what headset you end up selecting.

i Normally use my Heil HM10 desk mic and ancient Sony MDR-V600 headphones.
But several years ago investigated finding a headset with boom mic. The
Yamaha cm500 howled in feedback when put on over my hearing aids (even
not plugged into the K3).
I ended up attaching an Antion ModMic to my old
I've tried a lot of headsets and like the Bose Quiet Comfort, noise
cancelling headset the best. They are fairly light, and the ear pieces
are slanted in the outer shell, so the don't touch my earlobes. The
noise cancelling takes care of the KPA1500 fan noise. I did NOT like the
Bose 700
The Bose QC- 25 gaming head set comes with a
mic boom. It has cables that plug into a K3/4

I like the Koss SB-45 (3.5mm plug version, not USB). It sounds great,
has a nice padded headband, and is $30 on Amazon.

Looks like a well thought out design, except for the focus on impedance
matching, which hasn't been the practice in audio for almost 50 years.
Impedance matching is primarily a transmission lines concept. Standard
practice has long been low-Z source and high-Z input impedance. :)

I've tried the following:

Then I found the Inrad W1 http://vibroplex.com/contents/en-us/d9181.html
Hands down the best, in my opinion. It's over the ears, doesn't clamp
on, not heavy and is stout.

I’ve always favored very light headsets and CM500 are a perfect compromise for
lightweight but decent sound isolation. I used to use super cheap-o
featherweight computer sets which frankly work totally fine, but they set on
the ear instead of covering so not as good for amp fans, etc.

Comfort depends strongly on the head of the wearer. I tried on a set
twice, first at a club meeting,
2nding the radiosport headsets. They are not cheap, but they are
comfortable for extended wear, sound great, and block nearly all background
noise.

I prefer RadioSport boom headsets. Others the Yamaha cm500 (I believe that’s
the model). Both are worth looking at, cost is very different.

Eric,
Most any analog (not USB) computer gaming headset will actually work well
on the K3. You specifically mentioned that you want to plug into the front
panel- if so, you will need an adapter for the microphone jack. You can
easily build one, but the ones from Heil will work with any headset
