Prior to the TS-480 I used a Heil HC-5 on a lot of kenwoods.  Because of the type of connector used with the newer Kenwoods (@#$ RG-45?) I haven't used anything but the stock microphone.

I have a little bit different philosophy about microphones and audio.  I want the mic to produce what I sound like with no 'modifications'.  The stock mic does that adequately.  If you're looking for 'studio' type 'quality' you are out of luck, it just isn't worth the time/trouble considering the bandwidth of most ham radios.  Which get's into a whole different can of worms and I ain't going there.
