Perhaps not Hi-Fi but I like the mic on the Flightcom headsets. Works
well in a warbird with a 110dB ambient noise level. Excellent
communications quality articulation with background suppression. Seems
to work well in the shack too.

Best Buy has a Sony set thats around 50 bux. works pretty good. I
used them at W5WMU in our mult-2 effort in ARRL CW dx test...plenty
of noise in the shack...noise cancelling was 'fair-to-
middlin'...comfort pretty good...batteries did not run down..a
keeper, IMHO

I was looking at getting a nice headset, possibly noise canceling
which is broadcast quality with a wide range dynamic mic element. I
am looking for suggestions other than Heil headsets since there are
limited options with the HC6 element.
I have looked into what radio and television broadcasters use for
sporting events, but wanted to get actual opinions from users.
I have not used it on my Flex yet (waiting in the 1500 queue) but a
Heil alternative recommended by Jim Brown K9YC of the Audio Systems
Group is the Yamaha CM500 headset.
Jim publishes a lot of audio and RFI related materials. The article
where I saw the Yamaha mentioned was

In really high ambient noise environments I've seen the David Clark
aviation headsets recommended but I believe they lean heavily toward
ineligibility even more so than the Heil gear.
