At $299 each (on sale) they are like the Heil headsets, grossly over
priced for what you get - 5 X the price for the CM500 or SB45.  The
RadioSport sets are much heavier/harder on the head and neck.

Nobody has yet suggested RadioSport boomsets (Arlan Communications, http://www.arlancommunications.com/products/amateurradio/radiosport/rs60cf.asp). I have several pairs. Although definitely on the high end of the market, they are superbly built and extremely comfortable, with both dynamic and electret condenser mic options. Some complain they’re too heavy, but I find them to be great for me.

I have a K3s and would be interested if anyone has a specific recommendation for a good microphone?  I'm thinking about one of the Heil microphones (either the Heil Gold or the Heil HM-10XD) but am willing to look at anything else someone may recommend.
