[Elecraft] Mic and Headset

I am using a Labtec Axis-302 headset wired to the front 8 pin K3 socket
and a 3.5mm/.25" adapter for the earpiece side.

The mic audio from the supplied electret insert isn't quite as good for
my voice as a Heil HC-5, so I replaced the electret with a HC-5 insert
hot melt glued in place, plus a foam windsock over it. The result looks
and sounds good. I find the HC-5 inserts in "stick mics" like the GM-5 a
bit weak for my liking, the headset approach is better for me.
Unfortunately the HC-5 insert as a  replacement part seems hard to come
by these days.

I'm curious as to what others are using for a mic and headset with the K3.
