No, microphones need to be reasonably flat without excess low
frequency response, particularly when worked close. Beyond that
the K3/K3S TX EQ and noise gate are all anyone needs to achieve
excellent sounding audio with any voice.
Start with TX EQ set to -16, -16, -6, 0, 0, +3, +5, +6 and touch
up the 200 Hz band for your particular voice. Increasing level
at 200 Hz will provide a bit more low frequency response at the
cost of some "punch" and intelligibility (low frequencies waste
transmitter power). For the "DX" sound, change +3, +5, +6 (3 dB
per octave pre-emphasis) to +6, +10, +12 (6 dB per octave).
Both the low and high frequency adjustments may change a bit
depending on the response of the microphone. A "communications"
(e.g. paging or "radio") mic will need less pre-emphasis as some
is built into the mic element. A recording mic will need even
more low cut because of proximity effect (bass build-up).

I always find this thread a waste of time, it come up regularly. The
subject is so personal. Heil, Yamaha, Shure etc. well as I see its down
to comfort and the sound quality of your voice and/or ears.
My advise would be to try out what your friends use, or go to your local
friendly Ham Radio Store and try some out there. Make your own choice.
Headphones have to be comfortable. Microphones have to suit your voice.
Just my 2 pence worth from across the pond....
