I'm using this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BJ17WKK/ $20 cable with an in-line mic
with these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ENMK1DW/ $70-80 pair of Philips open-can over-ears.
This means you can hear right through them. Sometimes a positive, sometimes a negative. When the mic or cable gives out, you can pay $20 to fix your $100 headset.
I don't know if either of these products suit your purpose, but it was a neat solution I found on another platform a while back and think it may be worth suggesting here.
