Kevin,
I took the plunge and bought the Heil Pro-Set Plus headphones / boom mic
(HC4 HC5 elements switchable) some time back, and have been very pleased.
The headphones are very comfortable indeed, and no bent /sore ears-head
after wearing them for hours at a time e.g.dabbling in a CW or SSB contest.
Being able to 'reverse headphone phasing' (little switch on right hand
earphone)
is useful in that it helps reduce fatigue during a long session, and at
times helps when digging out a signal surrounded by QRM. Another bonus for
me is that I get full SSB output using the boom mic without having to add a
mic preamp to the K2, or shout! As yet I have not used the HC4 "DX element"
in anger since the HC5 appears to get through pile-ups well enough.
The usual disclaimer, just a very satisfied customer.
73,
Geoff

I need to order a set of headphones. They'll be used on my K2 for CW
primarily. A set with a boom mic may be more useful long term. I did some
searching and a ran across a review by someone with a K2 and he was
negative
on using 8 ohm headphones with his K2 (but he wasn't real specific on
why).
Specifications say 4 to 32 ohms is OK.
Any recommendations?
