WH20 Dynamic Headset Microphone - Rugged, Lightweight, Secure Fit for Active Mic Users, for Instructors/Musicians, Right-Angle 1/4 (6.3mm) Connector for Unbalanced Mic Input (WH20QTR)

I have serious issues with reviewers who assume because a product is not right for them that it is not right for anyone. I play drums in a classic rock band and Cajon and percussion in a small trio. I also set up and run both outfits PA system. I was tired of being anchored to a mic and boom in both situations and decided to go with the Shure WH20XLR. First of all the attached wire is not designed to plug directly into a mixer or amp. It is made to be routed and clipped to a belt or pocket where a standard XLR cable is attached. The flexible wire on the mic is not made to run to the mixer. I run the wire inside my shirt, loop it around a belt loop and plug in the mixer cable. Problem solved. I installed an XLR plug with built in rotary on/off switch on my mic cable to mute the mic. This is a dynamic mic! No phantom power or battery. It is a full size XLR connector. The are other versions of this for wireless and computer use ( the last 3 letters in the model designate which is which.) when plugged into a mixer or PA the sound level is more than sufficient. I don't know about a low to high impedance adapter into a guitar amp or other Hi Z inputs. It works great into our Behringer mixer. Just bump the gain a little. I have used an SM58 and SM57 for years and can state that this mic with just a small cut in mid and a small boost in low rocks. Every bit as clean as the SMs and no hassling with stands and booms. I've used it for numerous shows and it was a bit uncomfortable at first but once fitted properly it disappears. This mic is about $10 cheaper than an SM58 no switch version, so it's not a lot cheaper, just different tech. I love it, both bands love it and the audience loves it. I wouldn't record with it, but I probably would use a condenser on a stand or boom for vocals anyway. I hate to see good products trashed because folks don't read the descriptions or do any research. It may not be for everyone, that's why there are choices. And the reviews that make it clear that the reviewer has no idea what they are doing are the worst. Used as designed this is an excellent choice for a musician looking to get out from behind a mic stand or a drummer or KB player who wants to ditch the mic stand. I don't need wireless so this wired version is perfect. My SMs and mic stands stay at home. Any piece of gear can be defective or fail during use. That doesn't make it junk. Just electronics. It is astonishing how some folks love and use the mic with no issues and others can't get it to work or sound good. I prefer Zildjian cymbals to Sabian or Paiste but I don't trash those quality products. I do the companies a favor and don't buy them. I'd highly recommend this mic. It's worked perfectly for me.

This headset mic delivered all that is promised and works even better than expected. I use this mic for DJ and karaoke shows in bars and and other venues. I use 4 wireless Vocopro hand mics along with this WH20 xlr. I use a basic xlr transmitter/receiver unit to make it wireless. I run them all through an Allen-Heath mixer. The unit is more quiet than my handhelds but is easily corrected by increasing the line gain. Due to the smaller magnet some of the richness is also missing. However this too can be corrected by changing your eq settings on that channel. Overall, this mic gives a great sound rather speaking or singing. It delivers crisp clean sound that I would recommend to most anyone.

Why this Mic was of interest: As a lead singer / Guitarist, my set up was always singing lead vocals into a microphone on a stand and a Boss G-t10 as an Effects processor for my guitar. So Recently I made a change to the boss gx1000 and I found the buttons very difficult to navigate while singing as compared to the G-t10. The Gt-10 has larger buttons with more space between them, so it took less concentration to operate it while singing. However I love the new Boss Gx-100 unit. However, I found the new Boss GX-100, much more difficult to navigate this new boss unit as compared to the old one while singing . So I decided to look into a head worn microphone and WoW, am I glad I did! This microphone is so clear and crisp, the sound is great. I have sang live through all kinds of different microphones over many years and I must say this is the best lead vocal mic I've ever used! Now I can play much more relaxed when I don't have to worry about bumping up to a microphone with my glasses or a tooth. I can just stand back and be relaxed and operate my multi effects processor and vocal processor with my feet without a microphone boom in front of me , as the cliche says this is "game changer" well for me this microphone really is "a game changer". The band even commented on my enhanced performance and how much more relaxed I was! I love it and I encourage anybody else out there to try it. One new entanglement I did encounter is that my guitar is on a wireless system so I had to deal with the microphone wire hanging off my back. Simple solution is just get some XLR wireless converters and we're good to go. Rock on!

The microphone does what it is supposed to do. It's not a high quality microphone, but serves it's purpose. I am giving it a 4 star rather than a 5 star for two reasons. 1. The school system I worked for has purchased a lot of Shure microphones, and the library I worked for has also done so. I have never known Shure not to pack an item in a box, and include a spec sheet. This came in a totally clear unmarked plastic bag with no specs or wiring information. To me this indicates it is a refurbished microphone. I don't mind a refurbished mic, I would just have preferred to have known I was purchasing one. 2. According to the description there was supposed to be a small belt/pocket clip that went around the XLR connector to provide some strain relief when using. This item was not included. This perhaps bothered me the most since the weight of two XLR hanging from a thin cable is heavy enough to cause issues in the future if I don't prepare for it another way. As cheap as this mic was it wasn't worth a return. I did expect a slightly better quality mic, at that price, but again, the description said it was mainly for speech, and not singing, so I really can't complain. Just wanted to make it easier for our drummer to sing while practicing and since we are just a bunch of old sixties rockers getting together to jam a bit it works fine. If we ever decide to actually play a gig, We'll buy a decent wireless headset to use if the sound man doesn't have one.

Good product but do make sure you're clear about the socket your plugging it into!
