Minutes later KS5TX's right speaker came off. Soon after getting starting my left speaker fell apart. No need for a headset, since I'm primarily an RTTY contester.īut just a few weeks ago, after repairing our Spiderbeam (again) we decided to have some fun (pun intended) in one of the RTTY contests. The Covid pandemic left the club shack under-utilized with most of the time just me contesting, part-time, by myself. They hadn't really been used for the past two years. They are comfortable and do what they promise - punch through that pileup. A must-have, in a multi operator station. We've had them for 7 or 8 years now, after KS5TX donated them. Anniversary edition has different microphone profile to the standard version (See Arlan communications website). Paid £250 for the headphone + £100 for cables but very happy. Very good fit and good isolation from room noise. Headphones have larger ear pieces and are so much more comfortable. Much better quality and worth the extra money. Now have a Radiosport RC60CF (anniversary 10 year). Sound went after a year due to fault in cable in the left ear and now back with Martin Lynch (uk) for warranty repair (pending 5+ weeks lead-time).
Overall the ear pieces very fiddly as they turn on 2 axis and flapped around on my desk (your tube has posts explaining this)Ĭons - Cheap headphones which only sat on my ears and as such I could hear background noise in the room.
I give them 4 stars because Heil supplied inadequately cushioned Ear Pads, which I found very uncomfortable after 1 hour of wear, but now that I updated the Ear Pads they would get 5 stars from me.įound heil Pro 7 was too small around my ear and felt too heavy so went for the Heil Pro set elite 6 as £100 cheaper at the time and larger ear covers. If you are having the same issue I experienced with ears physically aching after an hour, I recommend simply replacing the Heil OEM Ear Pads with a thicker more cushioned set of generic replacement Ear Pads - not from Heil. My only regret is that I waited so long to retrofit thicker replacement Ear Pads on them. Now I love my Pro-Set Elite (with replacement Ear Pads). Ahhh, comfort at last! The replacement set have an oval instead of a round opening for the ears, using quite thicker vinyl wrapped foam cushions to seal nicely around the ears without crushing my outer ear cartilage.
PMD PRO REVIEW INSTALL
They took a few weeks to arrive and only around 5 minutes to install on my Pro-Set Elite. I found a set of replacement Ear Pads from China on eBay for a little over $10 shipped that said in the title that they were made for the Pro-Set Elite. I finally gave up on hoping the headband would stretch out, and instead started searching for replacement Ear Pads that would provide a thicker cushion around my ears to reduce the physical pressure against my outer ears. My Pro-Set Elite always felt like the cartilage part of my outer ears was being crushed by headphone pressure and my ears would start physically aching too soon. Unfortunately, the OEM Ear Pads on my Pro-Set Elite simply did not provide enough cushioning to be comfortable on my head for more than about 1 hour, unlike my previous Pro-Set and BM-10 Boom-Set which are both very comfortable for long periods of time. My Pro-Set Elite also seems a lot better made to me than my 25 year old Pro-Set, which is starting to get a little floppy but has the now unobtainable DX oriented HC4 Dynamic Element that works great with the JRC rig I use them with.
I have used the Pro-Set Elite with the IC electret element for several years with one of my Icom rigs and the received audio as well as the transmit audio using my Elite are both excellent. Found Much Better Ear Pads, Easy Retrofit!
