    What are the best high quality attachable/detachable microphones out there for headsets? So far the only mic that was recommended to me was the Zalman ZM-Mic1.

    That's pretty much the only one unless you go DIY. It's why everyone recommends it.

    If you take IEMs and a microphone you will get much better sound from some good IEMs - the same is true for good headphones.

    Headsets are made for talking - headphones/IEMs for music (which often contains some sort of vocal content -I know, not all music ;) :))
    Thus any headphone/IEM already needs to do more than a headset.

    With headphones you want a soundstage - on a headset (except maybe gamers) you don't care.
