Re: [Elecraft] Headphones (Again!)
I have used the Heil Pro 7 also. While they displayed no RFI issues, they fall far behind the Bose QC35s, Radiosport, and even Bose QC25s in keeping out KPA1500 fan noise. They worked FB for me in the CQWW SSB test, where the KPA1500 fans rarely turn on, and never get louder than FAN1 at my station, running at 1300w out per LP100A mearurement "FWIW, I have been using Heil Pro 7 headphones successfully for years. I use cw 95% of the time, including during quite a few enjoyable CWT events. I only occassionally use the mic and ssb mode. I own several pair that I use with their specific radios. I use them on my Elecraft K2, and KX2, my Yaesu FTDX3000D, and my LNR Mountaintopper 3, 4, and 5b transceivers. I never have the slightest RF or feedback. They are well worth buying and using. I highly recommend them. The radios without ssb, I don’t use the mic or mic plug but instead I keep it secured out of the way.

Re: [Elecraft] Headphones (Again!)
I have the WH1000-MX3. I use them daily but for non-radio stuff. Easily the best headphones I’ve ever had or used, for comfort and noise cancellation. They sound great too. I have used them with my KX2 when traveling, but I don’t think I’ve ever used them at higher power so can’t comment on RFI or lack thereof. They are amazing for air travel (not that I’m doing much of that lately).

Re: [Elecraft] Headphones (Again!)
John,I have the Sony WH 1000X M2. They are the most comfortable cans ever for me. Noise cancellation is excellent esp as regards the KPA 1500. I hear better with them and do so in comfort.
