[UK-CONTEST] Mics for contesting

>>> Does anyone use a boom mic

Yup, with a Goldline stick set to "wide" (Bob calls it "studio" setting). I
use a hinged studio bass-drum microphone stand.

The clear benefit over a Pro headset (for instance) is that one can use any
choice of headphones.

Hi Folks,

After an uncomfortable time with my Heil headset during CQWW this 
weekend I have decided to revisit my choice of microphone for 
contesting. Would anyone like to make any recommendations for an 
alternative, both in terms of comfort and performance? Does anyone use a 
boom mic and a set of noise canceling headphones? I recall a recent 
discussion on here about the noise canceling 'phones - has anyone added 
a head set style mic to a pair of these 'phones? If so, which mic 
element did you choose (and why)?
