Comfort depends strongly on the head of the wearer. I tried on a set
twice, first at a club meeting, then a few years later after
seeing/hearing posts like this. On both occasions I found them to be an
instrument of torture.
By contrast, the Yamaha CM500 headset is VERY comfortable -- I've worn
mine for long contest weekends with no fatigue, and both phones and mic
sound great. With the right TXEQ, audio is super competitive, is easy to
listen to and cuts through noise and QRM. The headset plugs straight
into the rear panel of both a K3 and a K4, (turn on bias, because mic is
an electret). Most of us program PF2 to toggle the speaker on and off
(go to the menu for that function and push PF2). With the right cable
adapter, it also works great with a KX3.
The only shortcoming of the Yamaha headset is it's somewhat light
construction -- I'm super clumsy, am always knocking the headset on the
floor, which has broken the cable. But at $60 or so compared 4-6 times
that cost for ham specialty headsets that are no better, it's cheap.
