If I understand you correctly, I experienced a similar situation with a very nice Razer gaming headset (for video games, etc). It has great over-the-ear cloth padded cups, an electret microphone element, and is built very solidly. In VOX mode on SSB it kept triggering into transmit unless I turned the headphone volume way down. As best I can tell, the boom for the microphone is so solid that sound vibrations from the cup are traveling down to the microphone element. Thus far I haven't been able to make it go away with ANTIVOX. I have a half dozen other headsets and none of them exhibit that problem, but none are built as mechanically solid as that one either.
