Headsets are something that we need to try on, like a pair of shoes -- 
it essentially comes down to physical comfort. It's hard to buy 
something online knowing what it will feel like. :) I'm primarily a CW 
op, especially QRP, and I'm old enough that backpacking doesn't apeal to 
me, so I've never bothered to look for a backpacking headset/mic. For 
lightweight headphones, I like the Etymotic Research and Shure in-ear 
products.

TXEQ in Elecraft radios is so good that virtually any mic that isn't 
"broke" can be made to sound good.
