Thanks thanatoid for your explanations!
A Sony ECM-T6 microphone and another desk-top microphone
don't hum! A new Koss sb/45 headset and Philips SBC HM300
headset hum from their microphones.
How to make Koss sb/45 headset microphone work?
Best regards,

IIRC, any Sony mic with the prefix ECM is a quality product -
although even Sony is not what it once was, sadly. That used to
be a prefix for their professional mic line, but that may have
changed.

Nothing which is NOW called professional IS - if it says
"professional" or worse, "professional quality", DON'T buy it.
If it's professional, you'll know it by where it is sold and how
much it costs. All "computer" microphones, headphones, and
speakers are TRASH and always will be.

Koss was a very good brand 35 years ago. It is trash now. The
name was bought by some jerks - like it has happened with MANY
formerly good brands - and now they sell junk with a formerly-
good brand name on it. Put it in the garbage where it belongs.

If you want a decent headset/mic combo that will work properly
and does not have wires inside touching where they shouldn't
etc., you will need to spend a fair bit of money. I am talking
Sennheiser, Beyer, etc. Hundreds of dollars. NOT made in China
****.

Much cheaper to get a gooseneck desk stand for your mic and use
the 2 separate devices. Easier on your head physically, as well,
and doesn't get in the way of enjoying your coffee or vodka. (Or
both together.)

Thanks thanatoid for your suggestion!
A table stand microphone requires to keep a mouth in one place, 2
centimetres from the microphone all the time to catch minimum
background noise. A headset microphone does not require.
Why does the hum appear from a headset microphone only, not from a
separate even small and cheap microphone?
