A couple of things:
1. Heil has made boom mike headsets, with his mike elements, widely
available. They are convenient--especially for an op who is logging or
controlling a
rig with computer keyboard or laptop.
2. With many rigs, and especially with marginal signals, the Heil elements
do offer slightly superior intelligibility compared to many
microphones--especially the stock microphones offered by the "Big-3" out of
Japan. I've heard
enough A/B tests to be convinced.
Like others, I do have a fondness for the Shure 444 (444D in my case), but
that one hard to use when I have a computer in front of me for logging.
