I always use Sennheiser cordless cans for CW , and really miss them when
doing ( a little) SSB. I tried using a stand-alone boom mic, but that
was not successful and had to settle for a wired headset.
The ones sold by Tony Welsh ( probably originating in Ukraine) knock the
Heil into a cocked hat, at about half the price, and importantly from
your p.o.v. have adjustable audio level from an in-line thumb wheel pot.
Here's a link to the ICOM flavour, but Yaesu and Kenwood are also available.

I believe they ship world wide, and are under USD50.
Usual disclaimer, I have no connection with the company, just a
satisfied customer
