J K MIC-J 069 Headset Headworn Microphone Compatible with Shure Bodypacks

I have reviewed these before but they definitely deserve another. Recently I had the opportunity to compare directly to the famous Countryman E6. Well .... it was a completely unfair competition .... the JK won hands down. Better sound. Less (virtually no) feedback. More output. The church pastor asked the price, after spending 300+ on the Countryman, and was incredulous when I told him the low price. I think Countryman is far overrated and overpriced. No microphone is worth that kind of money and JK proves it. It is NOT bulky at all, and the included windscreens are the same quality as SHURE, Audio Technica or any others. The Countryman required a lot of EQ while the JK needed almost none. The bendable mini gooseneck is FAR superior to the stiff boom style. Some people have "high price awe" and are disparaging about anything that they consider cheap, but these little mics prove that you don’t need to spend a lot to get good quality, and in this case, great quality.

Perfect just what I needed

I hesitated, but once I received and tested the products, it worked well. It required to play with gain on the mic receptor, in the mixer channel and EQ. But finally once I have it ready it worked perfect. Feels solid. For me this is kind of "L" size, wich works well for L and M sizes. I am using this with a Shure GLX D+ system and works perfect.

I use this on a boat that gets exposed to weather and salt air. I go through mics. I have used Shure, Samson, audiotechna, and other cheaper mics. For the price this one cant be beat. Very Loud and clear. The flexibility of compare to the solid wire Shure ones is a great benefit. I have 9 captains that use the mic through out the week so they are constantly adjusting it to fit their face. So far they have held up as long as any better mic I have purchased. So for a PA I highly recommend.

We have had this same brand for years, and for a couple of weeks were getting feedback so after church I talked to the sound guy and he was unsure of what the problem was. I asked him about the mic and he said it has been years since they replaced it. So I ordered two of these and used one last night. The sound came through very clearly with no feed back. I use it for the teaching, and not for worship. So I can't speak to that but for what we use it for this mic is great.

Comfortable, but that's where the positive part of the review ends. Firstly, thisiceophone is marketed as unidirectional. I bought this specifically to singbackup while playing drums. This mic picked up EVERYTHING around me, even from across the stage. I've used omnidirectional mics that had better directionality than this. Secondly, the picture is quite deceiving on how far it will come in front of your face. It only goes to about halfway on your cheek. Not great if you're wanting a directional mic. It needs to be right in front of your mouth to serve any purpose. Lastly, the sound quality is awful. I've used all kinds of headset mics from el-cheapos to several hundred dollar mics. This is, by far, the worst sounding mic I've used. Somehow it's both muffled and tinny. I'm sure this is partly due to the stem being too short. All-in-all, buy anything else. Literally anything you buy will be better than this, except perhaps in comfort.

For the money, not too bad. I mean, its really inexpensive. Its only mildly directional, but it is directional, and has some serious hiss/fuzz. If you are micing someone who speaks rather loudly, it would prob not matter too much. But, its definitely not professional grade. The build quality seems good though. Its fairly comfortable, the gooseneck works pretty well. The plug gets stuck in pretty hard.

Does not work. Only static. I had it brought to me in Guatemala. Most cost effective to ship back. Wish I never purchased. It’s worthless

A great headset, It picks up a good range of frequencies so easy to EQ. The mic stem is a little thicker than some might like but I think they're great as they can be bent and shaped over and over again without fear of it snapping, the only negative is the mic head is directional so if turned around, you lose a lot of volume, that doesn't worry me too much tho as I educate our performers with proper mic behavior. I have loads of these but have to buy other brands ocassionally as they go out of stock quite regularly.

Satisfait du produit

The unidirectional configuration makes the big different. It sounds clear and much louder than the Shure one (omnidirectional) that I had. Less feedback and clear sound. If it can adjust the ring size, than it could be 5 stars

Since both of my wireless mic systems need a mini-plug input I also bought a mini-plug to mini-XLR adapter. Well, there must be more than 1 type of mini-XLR because these do not fit together. It is male to female, but the standard is 3 pins and the headset is 4 pins. This distinction is not clearly indicated in either product and now I'm stuck scouring amazon for the right product and not getting anywhere! What is this 4-pin plug supposed to plug into?
