The Yamaha CM500's work great with the K3. They require a bit of equalization but that is simple to do. Heil headsets lately have been cheap Chinese imports that break.

Costco was selling some nice noise cancelling headphones for 40 bucks that are probably just as good as Bose, which you are paying for a name.
