Heil are overpriced and the headsets, give headaches too (too tight).
They're nothing special; you can dial in equalization just as well in
the K3S. I bought the Heil with my K3 and quickly gave up on them.
The Yamaha CM500 plugs into the rear (with bias) and the headphones are
comfy for hours, without spending a lot (by comparison, you can get a
few for the cost of one Heil). They block most of the noise in my
shack. I keep a couple spares as the foam covers do wear out.
If you need to block of lot of shack noise, there are other options,
most are expensive.
A search of the archives is recommended, this topic has been covered
many times before.

Hi, Bernie.
Like you, I am a CW op that dabbles in FT8. About a year ago I decided to
dabble in SSB just to hear an operator's voice in QSO parties and the like.
For my K3, I use the Heil ProSET K2 sold by Elecraft and am very pleased
with it. I chose a headset/mic only because I don't have the space for a
desktop or
boom mic. The connections are to the rear panel of the K3 making for a
very clean setup. After setting the equalization levels others have
recommended, I'm told
my audio is very good.

Dear Folks:
Although I'm primarily a CW op, and dabble in FT8 (sadly, sometimes
there's no one on anywhere else except for FT8), I'm thinking about
expanding my SSB presence on the bands. 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.
Thanks and 73 de Bernie, KF0QS
