I received a Clarity Aloft headset as a gift. I am very impressed with the quality of RX and TX sound and they are very comfortable to wear. The headset and boom comprise a continuous wire frame that gently but firmly grasps the head, while the "earbud" material and transducers are derived from hearing aids, which are obviously designed for long-wearing comfort.
The earpieces provide excellent isolation from nearby sounds. The noise from my amplifier blowers -- directly to my left at the operating position -- used to drive me crazy, but no more. I have tried several times to get up and walk away from the radio with the headset on because I forgot I was wearing it. The RX and TX transducers are both of the "wide range" variety. The first TX audio reports I received said that the audio was very "bassy," so the ESSB "community" should *really* love them. The RX and TX equalizers on the K3 have become very valuable for tailoring the response to "communications" standards for both day-to-day and contest use. -- 73 -- Brian -- K1LI ______________________________________________________________ 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
