Headset for K2 & K3

[Stan AE7UT]

I have a K2 and I'm currently building a K1.  I have a KX3 on order (who doesn't!).
I'm also using a Ten-Tec Orion II but would like a K3 in the near future.

I would like to go with a headset but have heard mixed reviews about the Heil Pro Set sold by Elecraft.
I had a Pro Set Elite and it was big, hot, uncomfortable and I sold it... but it had a great mic and loved
the audio while I could stand wearing them.  BTW to be fair the Pro Set Elite was "OK" until I would switch
from my contacts to glasses.  They sat right my your ears and crush my ears into my eye-glass frames.

So what would you suggest?

Stan...

Lots of us have been satisfied with the Yamaha CM500. It costs around
$50 from various vendors. I wear glasses, and it has been comfortable
for me. The sound from the mike has received favorable responses in on
the air evaluations.

The CM500 is available now from Amazon at $44.99, with free
shipping, and no tax. That's about as low as it gets.
