The mic is very important. The mic needs to be noise cancelling also, or as you have found out, the ambient noise will still come through the intercom and if you "squelch" it out, you have to nearly scream into the mike to open the circuit to talk. A really good mic lets you squelch the ambient noise out and still pick up immediately when you start to talk. The electronics in both noise canceling for the audio and noise cancelling for the mic is the reason the higher end headsets have to charge what they do to get the quality you are looking for. It's really interesting to sit down at the local FBO and listen to the different aircraft calling in. There is a huge difference in the quality of the radio calls..and I don't mean in technique.

Your problem is very interesting! Probably because I thought I was the only person fighting this issue. It is hard to convince people that the noise is not electrical in nature. I have tried putting putty on the backside of the rear mic, along with the muff, and still pic up noise. I have the in-the-ear headsets (now) and they seem to help a lot. The mic on these are only on one side. Turning the VOX sensitivity down also helped some (on my radio). The intercom squelch, which I thought was not functional, come to find out works as VOX sensitivity for the passenger. Right now I am trying to find a passenger to see if adjusting the intercom squelch will eliminate the noise when flying with a passenger - this is the only time I get the noise now.

I'm sure there are many good systems out there, but my headset is fine just the mic is picking up everything around me.
For $150.00 the Boom mic installed on my headset seems to be a deal.
I have two headsets to fix and just don't want to spend over a grand doing it.
