I assume you mean the CM-400 ... it is quite popular here and provides
results every bit as good, if not better, than headsets costing three
to four times as much.

The CM-400 works quite well when plugged directly into the rear panel
headphone and mic jacks (if you don't mind leaving it connected all
the time). If you want to be able to disconnect/change headset/mic,
the W2ENY adapter works fine or you can build your own with a $5.00
Foster plug and a female 3.5mm jack (or two, if you want to connect
a hand PTT switch to the front panel) for less than $10.
