I use an Arlan Communications RadioSport headset.
I have a contrarian view of that family of headsets. I've tried them on
several times, when they were first introduced and in the last year at
Visalia. I find them to be VERY uncomfortable, to the point of being an
instrument of torture. Anyone considering one of these headsets ought to
try them on. Even better, trying borrowing a set and wearing it for a
long contest session.
Many years ago, in my role as sound system consultant, I had one of the
early Sennheiser noise cancelling headsets, and was able to try it out
on a couple of airline flights. I liked it, and found it pretty
effective. That was at least 25 years ago, and it's reasonable to expect
that designs by quality mfrs have improved.
Two cautions. First, try them out for RFI. Second, avoid anything with
digital signal processing -- the latency could make it difficult to send
with a paddle.
