I like the Koss SB-45 (3.5mm plug version, not USB). It sounds great,
has a nice padded headband, and is $30 on Amazon.

Comfort depends strongly on the head of the wearer. I tried on a set
twice, first at a club meeting, then a few years later after
seeing/hearing posts like this. On both occasions I found them to be
an instrument of torture.
By contrast, the Yamaha CM500 headset is VERY comfortable -- I've worn
mine for long contest weekends with no fatigue, and both phones and
mic sound great. With the right TXEQ, audio is super competitive, is
easy to listen to and cuts through noise and QRM. The headset plugs
straight into the rear panel of both a K3 and a K4, (turn on bias,
because mic is an electret). Most of us program PF2 to toggle the
speaker on and off (go to the menu for that function and push PF2).
With the right cable adapter, it also works great with a KX3.
The only shortcoming of the Yamaha headset is it's somewhat light
construction -- I'm super clumsy, am always knocking the headset on
the floor, which has broken the cable. But at $60 or so compared 4-6
times that cost for ham specialty headsets that are no better, it's
cheap.
