Keep in mind, Labtec also sells boom mic headsets .... which takes
care of another requirement a microphone.
They are sold as computer headsets , but have a nice electret element
, just perfect for the K2 or icom radios. Some of the headsets even
have the nice leatherlike ear cushions...
Altec ....( Sparkomatic , the cars stereo people bought the Altec
name for consumer products) sold a bunch of nice headsets... which
appear to be discontinued and sold off to some closeout houses...

if you handy with a soldering iron , make a box to interface the
headset mic plugs to go into a 8 pin foster plug. That way any of the
computer headsets will be pluggable. The headphones will plug right
in....just the mic plug needs to be adapted/interfaced,,,, If it is
an electret mic element ( and they usually are ) the level will be
fine!. My computer headset fits into my K@ pelican case for "vacations."
