Hi,

Just try and work multi-2 SSB using Heil with the other OP less than 6
feet away "shouting", "NEGATIVE my call is delta delta five foxtrot zulu
denmark denmark one two three four five florida zanzibar ..." I find it
almost impossible. Most of the serious contesters here in southern and
eastern Bavaria use passive suppression pilot headsets, so I'm not the
only one who prefers them. I can see that the pressure on the ears might
be a reason not to want to use this kind of headset. They are a fairly
tight fit, but I still prefer them to every Heil Headset I have come
across, because of the 25dB suppression. I would not call them a vise
though.

PS: Panzerkopfhörer (e.g. for camera operators at rock concerts) are
much less comfortable but have even more passive suppression of the
surroundings. They are also very heavy.
