I like these from Micro Innovations: http://tinyurl.com/d8rsc4 I run them on the K3 with the EQ set flat and get unsolicited compliments on the audio all the time. I've had them for 6 months so far and they seem durable enough. For less that $20, you can't go wrong. I wear them backwards so that the mic ends up on the left side because the radio is to my left and the computer is in front of me. I use a footswitch for PTT. Rob NV5E
