Yes. Before I left Chicago about 5 years ago, I bought five assorted 
Plantronics headsets in different configurations. I suspect they were 
someone's free samples. I think I paid a total of $20 for the lot. I 
subsequently found them for sale at Fry's for about $30 each. 

I made up connector adapters to use them with a all the ham rigs I 
then owned (a K2, Omni V, TS850, and IC746) and a computer for VOIP. 
The adapters included a resistor from V+ to bias the electret. All of 
them sounded good and produced competitive contest audio with all of 
the rigs and the computer.
