J K MIC-J 069 Earhook Headworn Headset Unidirectional Microphone Compatible with Shure Wireless Bodypack Transmitter - Mini XLR TA4F Plug

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.

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

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.

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
