I have the QC2 Bose headset, the Yamaha CM500 everyone recommends and the
MH2. I work mostly SSB.
I am happy with either the Bose or Yamaha with the K3. The Yamaha works just
fine. You don't need noise
LIke you, I operate very little SSB. I use the MH2 with fine results (when I
can find it). I set TX EQ to cut some of the lows and add to the highs for

the K3 monitor I'm not hearing anything unexpected. The
First, and most important: Using the TX Equalizer can tame any mic. You
can emphasize highs, lows, or a combination to produce armchair copy audio.

It's possible that the HC-4 has gotten rough over the years -
I had an HC5 element in the Heil ProSet give up after about
30 years G.
If you want a headset, I'd strongly recommend the Yamaha CM-500
( $50 on-line at places like BH Photovideo, Sam Ash, etc.) it

Gary,
Both those microphones should work well with the K3. Couple that with
the fact that you hear things OK in the monitor.
That suggests that there is something else wrong with your K3. I would

Why? A good question. At this time I don't work SSB, have little
interest in a mode I need an interpreter to understand or send. When
