Dan--
Might be a good thing for your pocket-book. Does anyone have WL-183's
and 4060's to compare? This is a long overdue comparison. The
self-noise rating is the same on both mics. The WL183's are way less.

To big for ear canals but quite small.
Heck, you could hack the capsules out of a $300 M10 and get 5dB(A)
better noise performance than 4060's for $400 less than the cited
eBay price. Adding extension cables to the M10's capsules would be a
good hack too. Rob D.
