Don't know if this will help, but a musician just told me about some in
ear monitors (IEMs) that have built in microphones that can be switched
in or out from the beltpack... Might be worth investigating! The intent
is for stage performers to use in ear monitors and still get realistic
live sound controllable at will.

True, true, no on wants to record his headphone signal.

Maybe what I want is a quicker and simpler way to take the phones off
my ears, or something like a switch that opens the backs so I can hear
what's around me for a moment.  I suppose if you are facing the same
way as your mics you shouldn't have to do this or worry about it, but
sometimes I find the isolation a little disorienting for locating
transient stuff.

I'll have to just practice my 'slide off the ears' move.  I'm sure
I'll get better at it.
