I changed my old headset (Radiosport RS-60 CF) to a brand new Beyerdynamic DT-297 PV MK II 80 Ohm headset.

The main reason was, because the Radiosport’s headphones starting @ ~200 Hz and going up to ~8000 Hz… very good for radio, but not good for listening my favorite songs (if the bands are lousy 😉 )

I also want to listen the full range off SSB transmissions, many operators running a superb audio-equipment with a nice and punchy bass… no way to hear that with the Radiosport RS-60.

So far, I got great audio-reports with the new Beyerdynamic headset 🙂
