#PhotoOfTheDay is one for all the great FediHams out there: My Heil microphone with the custom callsign flag at the top. I think it is gorgeous!

@kr1st@mastodon.radio I used a boom mic when I was recording voice overs etc. for training videos when I worked at Apple. They do also take up less space on your desktop.... I think the audio is actually a little better from the speaker on my radio than on the Heil Pro-7 headset, but the headset has other options and my wife doesn't complain about me cranking up the volume to try to hear a low voice among the noise on SSB. ๐
@croyle@wandering.shop ๐คฃ I hear ya! I never tried any of their Pro line stuff. Right now I'm using the Audio Technica BPHS1 headset. It has a nice very long non-coiIed cord. I used to use Sony MDR-7506 headphones with a ModMic boom mic attached to it for ham stuff that I really liked. I have way too many headphones, I'm afraid. For every type of listening I have a favorite set of cans. ๐ It's rare that I don't use headphones. That's probably why my lil' avatar has headphones on. ๐
@kr1st@mastodon.radio Haha, makes sense! Now I'll think of that whenever I see your avatar... I like that my Heil headphone are mostly very long straight cord, but then there's one coiled section that just about a foot long as insurance vs. stretching, but it's not long enough to have the usual coil drawbacks.
