I did an initial test of this headset yesterday and found that the audio quality was good, but there was some background hiss. It could have been because the headset was not properly powered, since I have it plugged in to my mixer with phantom to 2.5v jerry rigged. I have a proper adapter coming tomorrow, and will do some proper analytics and comparison to other mics.

I also bought an accessory boom mike that plugs into the connector on the QC-35 and so far that has worked well in OTA tests. My QC-15 no longer attenuates my KPA1500 fans beyond just covering my ears with the cups so something has gone wrong with those. The QC-35 are very effective. I use a ModMic with the QC-15 which works very well and may substitute for the accessory mike if that doesn't pan out. The boom mike came with a much more rugged cable than the one which came with the QC-35. I was concerned about the mike moving but with the shirt clip I find it stays in place to my satisfaction. I don't know if it will reject amp fan noise however. I'll have to try that today. The fan never gets above speed 2 on SSB so not much of a challenge. The boom mike came with a TRRS to dual TRS splitter which worked well on the back on my K3s. The QC35 claims 40hrs of battery life when wired which is far more time than I'll ever put in any contest so that isn't a concern. When unplugged it becomes a Bluetooth set which I've paired with both my phone and PC. That means that I no longer need a PC headset cluttering up my desk.for when I want to do MorseRunner or listen to a Youtube session. 73 and stay safe! jim ab3cv ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to e...@qrv.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
