Bob.
I once again used my BOSE QC-1 and QC-2 noise cancelling phones last weekend
@ the (very) radio-active KH7X multi/multi last weekend.
Initially, 10 meters was getting into my 15 meters receive audio, but a few
wraps of the headphones cord around a toroid, and RFI never heard again.
As to sound isolation from others in the shack, the BOSE were simply
outstanding.
As to comfort, although I operated much less than the full contest, I have
worn my BOSE through many 48 hour contests without problem. They are
simply outstanding. (I tried-on a few of the other operators' various
phones @ KH7X M/M, including HEIL, and concluded there was no way I'd be
able to wear them 48 straight).
Nice thing about BOSE, they offer a 30 days use and return policy. Take a
pair home for the CW contest, and if you don't like 'em, return after the
contest? By the way, I've also tried the newer BOSE QC-3 phones, but as
they rest on the ear, rather than around, I don't like them as much.
Hope this helps.
