Heil sound has several different headset options with either hand held PTT 
switches, or foot switches.
I haven't kept current, but when I was current, the headset with the HC5 
wide cartridge was one of the best sounding mikes on air.
If you go deluxe, you can get a headset with both the HC4, and HC5 
cartridges in the boom and switch between them...the HC4 is thinner, but 
crisper and more cutting for dx...the HC5 is wide and full sounding, great 
for rag chewing or regular operation where your not trying to break a pile 
up.

I'd visit the Heil website and check out what's availible.
