I normally use a CM500.
OK, the RS60CF is a Radio Sport head set. :-)
I used one of their headsets during our club's CQP county
expedition. I liked the isolation from ambient room noise. Yes,
it squeezes your head, but I could wear it for several hours at
a time without feeling I was getting close to the end of my tolerence.
I didn't use VOX at home in CA because my radio was set up in
the family room with 20+ feet of space between the backs of the
equipment and the front door. (Nice for moving wires.) My wife
frequently would walk up to the radio and ask a question and I
didn't want the answer going out on the air. :-)
I did use VOX when I did a multi-op WPX contest at K9YC's QTH.
In that isolated environment it was more convenient than my
footswitch at home. Doing the contest was also a whole lot of
fun, and watching the other ops was a excellent learning experience.
What I'll end up doing here in NH is still up in the air.

Replaced them eventually with an RS60CF, and never looked back.

Yes. I tried them on when they first came out and found them to
be an instrument of torture. Years later, after hearing guys
rave about how comfy the were, I tried them on again, with the
same result.
