Comfortable an mobile

Perfect microphone! Good ratio between price and quality! With adaptive settings in the korg pa3x voice processor setup I achieved a remarkable sound. Well, of course it's not the SM 58, but I'm happy for now because it's comfortable and mobile

Not impressed. Expected better from Shure.

1) Headset was too small to allow the mic to reach my mouth. 2) Quality of sound was poor. I returned it.

Great product, the best headset for vocoding I know

This helped me a lot, after searching for a while for a decent headset mic for vocoding (per space I couldnt get another kind of mics). It does the job properly.

Magic to sing while drumming with this mic headset

I really found the freedom of the headset a plus. The sensitivity of the mic is perfect and no background noise.

Best would be to have a monitor associated, but I understand there is a technical reason preventing this solution to be engineered

Does the job

This is my first head mic & i bought it to use for vocals at wedding cocktails , it feels ok & sounds ok for quiet singing ...its nowhere near the sound quality of an SM58 for example as a reference & wouldn't recommend it for powerful vocal work....probably more at home for talking rather than singing in my opinion.

Best dynamic headset

I bought this headset for singin a back vocal in my band.

My firts goal was to find a dynamic headset mic, beacuse I plug it directly to my keyboard (Korg KROSS 2). And it don't suport condencer.

So, comparing it to another variants - it is the best solution. But, be sure - it won't sound like SM58. Never. Look at the size of the cartridge.

Frequency responce - like "mid EQ in pipe".

Sound can be compared with PG48, but a bit worse.

Despite this, it very good for dynamic headset. Enough for my goals.

Pros:

- Light weight, comfortable

- Price

- Useability

Cons:

- Sound. Good for headset, terrible for solo vocals.

If you need light, universal headset - this stuff for you!

Convinient solution for such needs

Considering it's relatively mid-range prise, it sounds better than I was expecting. Compromises where made mainly on the use of materials for the neckband. It fit well on my head size as it came out of the box without having to bend it additionally. The soft material is not removable making it not very easy and practical to wash. The stitching of the fabric stays exactly over the ears where it touches the skin and feels very itchy and irritating over time.

The cable is not removable as well. Mine got snapped somewhere inside the rubber clip after about an year of use, and I haven't used it since.

Pros:

Very decent sound. Easy to setup. Lightweight

Cons:

Non removable cable and neckband cushion. May not be very comfortable to use for more than 2-3 hours at a time.

Great Headset & Mic

Really happy with this. Works great to capture vocals and fairly comfortable overall.
