Get a YAMAHA CM-500 headset from MUSICIAN's FRIEND and you will throw 
everything else (including HEIL) away. They cost $59.95 and the audio reports 
with an ORION 11 are as good as my EV RE-27 studio mike. They come with a very 
small inline battery box for two AAAA batteries to power the mic element.
