Just about any headset with an electret or dynamic boom mic will work 
with a suitable cable adapter to split the TRRS in the KX3 into a TRS 
for the phones and a TRS for the mic. My favorite is a Yamaha CM500, but 
the phones may be much larger than you want to carry. I suggest that you 
study boom-mic headsets made for gamers, because selling to a very large 
market makes them cheaper. There are lots of smaller headsets, but it's 
mostly a matter of comfort. You may be able to look them over online, 
and/or in a music store.

In addition to Yamaha, some good brands are Shure, Audio-Technica, 
Sennheiser, and Beyer.
