The Heil HC elements are dynamic ... no bias!

It's a mic PTT adapter (Heil AD1-K).

I'd strongly recommend the Yamaha CM-500 instead of any Heil headset.
The CM-500 is every bit the equal of the Heil ProSet iC for less than
1/3 the price (ca., $45 at B&H Photovideo).  The CM-500 mic behaves
just the same as the iC element ... roll off the bottom three bands
and add some modest boost at 1600/2400/3200 Hz and you will have super
audio with plenty of punch.
