During our ARRL DX Phone operation from PZ5W, Matt (K0BBC) and I used an
Antlion ModMic (version 4.0) with a Bose QC25 headphone. It interfaced easily
with my Icom IC-7600 rig. The mic was a bit 'hot'; we reduced the SSB TX
Tone (Bass) and overall mic gain to compensate.

Hi
Since last year I have been using BOSE QC25 with ModMic 4.0, very cool no
problems what-so-ever.
