yes Bob,very confortable,I have been dxing and ragchewing for 2 hours now on 40M and I don't feel them on my ears,I cut the lows with the EQ and my audio goes now from 150 to 3100hz,its easy to EQ any mic wiith the K3. I just ended a QSO with W2QN few mins ago and he reported me excellent TX audio with this CM500. Good buy for $38 right ? AD4C

Works fine that way with lo gain, bias on. As Jim reported, the mic has a lot of gain. It's quite bassy compared to the Heil but the EQ takes care of that. I opened the package and 10 minutes later I'm all set. The ear pieces are nice and large. Comfy so far.

I have been using mine for months. But with the K3 rear input, you do not need the battery bias box. The K3 will supply the bias you need.
