When I want a headset, the only choice for me is a Heil Pro Set Plus. Either
element works well with my Omni VI+, Paragon or Corsair II. However, when I use
a desk mike (non-contesting), the 705 or other stock TenTec mike is superior to
anything else that I have tried. It is not my personal choice to tailor my
sound. If I don't sound natural, nobody will know as they have not met me. But,
that's just my choice. If you want to play with the sound, have at it.
