Yes. Several years ago, I bought five Plantronics computer headset/mic 
combos at a hamfest, and made connector adapters so I could use them with 
my ham rigs. All were different -- I suspect they were product samples. All 
worked fine and produced very clean competitive audio with every radio that 
I hooked them up to, including a K2, TS850, and IC746. I paid about $25 for 
all five. Unless you're feeling rich, you don't need a Heil headset!
