I also tried one of the Optimus Headsets/boom mics and found it to
be unsuitable. The mic audio was too heavy on the low end and the
wide freq response of the headphones was excessive unless I ran the
DSP. I liked the price though, too bad they didn't work for me.
I purchased a pair of the Azden HS-03 for about the same price
($50) and I have been very pleased. The X-mit audio works with my
voice without EQ and they work well for recieve. A great value
compaired to the Heil. The only downside is that they are small
and they don't completely cover the ear. They are basically the same
as the smaller Heil proset without the price.
