that statement ( from Plantronics) is so marketing,,,,
The last thing Plantronics wants is to have dispatch centers who pay
160-300 per headset DISCOVER how to integrate mass marketed PC
marketed ( read low pricepoint) microphones into their systems. Yes
they may be built to endure a tougher environment. .
I've very successfully used .99 radio shack electret elements with
both my k2 and my 7800...haven't hooked it to the K3
yet,,,,frequently using elements from old telephone sets,,
Also Altec branded ( this week owned by Plantronics )computer stuff
CAN works great...( I have a headset for my K2.)

just needs to be wired properly providing the bias to the electret...
there are articles all over the net,.,.
I like especially the comment "We do not release technical
specifications of our retail headsets."....the spec would look too good,,,,
now back to learning the K3,,,,

"The .Audio 350 is a modern equivalent to the old GameCom 1; the
two headsets have comparable specifications however neither of
these products are radio headsets. We do not rate our analog PC
headsets as compatible with radio consoles. We do not release
technical specifications of our retail headsets."
