The Yamaha CM500 boom mic headset is VERY popular, is quite comfortable 
to wear, and both the mic and headphones sound great with the K3.  Using 
TXEQ and the K3's excellent audio processing, it's quite easy to make 
the sound anything from full range to highly processed for competitive 
contesting and DX chasing, and all the settings sound really good unless 
you do something really dumb. :)

Cost is about $45 with free shipping from amazon and several other 
online sources.

BTW -- I'm a retired audio professional, and still own a bunch of very 
high quality recording and broadcast mics, but the CM500 has been my 
only ham mic since a neighbor ham (also and audio pro) told me about it 
three years ago.
