    Love my Heil Pro 7 headset. Especially the fact that it blocks out the kids fighting in the background.

    Heil Pro 7 here, also, great headset, boom mike, and the ear cup and headband let me wear it for hours comfortably. The seal almost completely blocks out the noise from washer and dryer!
    Guy,

    Great video Johnny! Yeah those Heil Pro 7's even seemed to fit my big head comfortably. Definitely a must when operating portable...

    Dinner is served here when the smoke detector alarms, which that I can hear through the Heil Pro 7 headset.

    Thanks for a very easy to understand headset comparison. I have an older Heil and have enjoyed it's quality both in sound and physical construction. 73!

    Since I always operate in the field and mostly QRP and CW, a good pair of earbuds works ;)
