Gary: Did you search the archives? This topic has been run into the ground many times. Most any headphone can faithfully reproduce voice. If I were contesting, I would use a "Headset" instead of headphones. Headsets have microphones. This greatly limits your choices but as you requested, I can NOT be brand specific due to your secret location. For contesting you should be concerned with comfort and since we all have different ideas about that, you'll have to try some on yourself. I prefer an "over the ear" cup for long periods. Can't mention brand though! As for Ohms; Mine are 32 ohms. I have an 8 ohm set and it is much louder plus it sounds better but squishes my ear lobes so I can't wear them for more than a few minutes. Can't mention brand.
BTW: The maker of the K3 sells a nice headset. Sorry, can't mention brand.

Having looked around a bit I see varying types ranging from 4 to 600 Ohms and I would appreciate it very much if somebody could steer me in the right direction. I would prefer to use the front Jack and I will be using SSB and working weak signal stations. All advice welcome from the group.
