A well-meaning member of our contest club arranged for the salesman for
Radiosport to speak to a meeting. I tried on a set, and found it to be
an instrument of torture. Several years later, after seeing guys raving
about its comfort and figuring they must have changed something, I again
tried a set at a hamfest. Nothing had changed, it was still an
instrument of torture. BTW -- they're also crazy expensive.
Because everyone's head and ears are different, headsets are a very
personal thing -- what fits someone else may not fit you. I find CM500s
and Sony MDR7506s very comfortable. For years, I wore a Sony set while I
slept, listening to jazz overnight. I've since graduated to top line
Beyer DT880 Pro, even more comfy and sounds better on music, but a LOT
more expensive. Wouldn't think of recommending to hams.

I’ve read a lot of comments about Heil and the Yamaha boomset. Nobody has yet

I have several pairs. Although definitely on the high end of the market, they
are superbly built and extremely comfortable, with both dynamic and electret
condenser mic options. Some complain they’re too heavy, but I find them to be
great for me.
