Honestly, I don't have any experience with these things, but I do know that if you want the person on the other end to get a more true capture of your voice, you probably want to avoid anything with a noise-cancelling microphone.

My impression from looking at these things is that most are designed for broadcasting or gaming, maybe video conferencing, with cardioid or hyper-cardioid patterns, while the headset *mics* that are designed for on-stage vocal performance seem to be omnidirectional and many are stunningly expensive!

Have you considered getting something like a USB desk microphone that had a headphone jack? (The Blue Yeti and RODE NT-USB are a couple my son is looking at.) You could then have a decent condenser mic with a cardioid pattern that is not right in front of your lips, and plug in a decent set of headphones or earbuds for monitoring. My $.02, anyway.
