Just as a comment, and I have nothing against Heil as I own a couple of
their mikes and an mike/headset combo, but I've never found their products
to be as "fantastic" as they are reported to be.  They are good, but perhaps
no better than the average while costing a good bit more.

I've found that some products work better on one radio while others work
better on another radio. As the old motto goes: "What's good for the goose
is not necessarily good for the gander."

In summary, mikes and headphones must be tailored for the radio and the
user.  A generic fit is simply a generic fit.
