A >Better sound through marketing! > >73, Jim K9YC think about it.... an offshore company builds a microphone or actually buys an electret element and just stuffs it into a case... ( which could screw up the response and/or cause other issues) none of which would bother it's use in our stringent application./... So now we have a $.45 element .... a nice fancy cabinet/shell.. $ 3.-4 :.still NO engineering or MARKETING expense,,, a cable with a plug ( add .$70)...if a headset , add two earpieces if a headset.......
and tada enter " cyberguys"... who is selling a "DCT FACTORY" headset for$ 7.89. so also Amazon....( newegg $19.95) go figure .... http://www.cyberguys.com/product-details/?productid=2427 As with all generic stuff,...once the generics hit the market, the branded stuff has to figure how to compete with the guy who may be making it for him....OMG,,, generics have no 40% to market the product,,but since they will sell to anyone, the marketplace discovers it. Do we really think a yamaha factory makes that headset ??? wrongo,..they market it. I have not ordered those 8$ headsets , since i bought three generics at dayton.. I think 3 for 9$.... I WAS lucky and they worked great ,....at field day on k3 ...and mobile on the kx3.... just make certain that you get 3.5mm plugs for both the headphone & the mic,.,,, someone else can try ... bill ny9h/3 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
