My experience with this issue is that with the HD headset, the vox was too hard to adjust. At one setting, the mic would be too sensitive and at the very next lower setting, you would have to yell to get it to activate. My headset went on the fritz and I bought a J&M headset/mic. Since then, I have been able to set it and forget it. It does have a different sound while talking but seems to work great. However, I don't think I would fork out the $'s just to change and had the DIY post to make your own headset come out before I bought the new one I would have tried that route first. I still may, just to try it.
