They are virtually identical. Same basic mic element, case etc.
We took over manufacturing this when Heil discontinued his OEM version
suddenly. Apparently he had purchased a group of excess mics and had
replaced the dynamic element with the Electret element. (Leaving the
unused dynamic element unused inside the case.) When he ran out he
suddenly stopped selling them, so we had to locate the manufacturer of
the plastic cases and spec our own custom version.
For our MH2, the only changes were to eliminate the unused dynamic
element left inside the case by Heil, and to improve the foam mounting
for the electret element for better mechanical support. Overall the two
mics sound identical. We've bought a very large quantity of these and
they will be around for some time. :-)

I am sure this has been asked before but I cannot recall there being a
definite answer.
What is the difference between the MH2 microphone that was sold for
the K2 (and was withdrawn from sale) and the MH2 now being sold for
the K3?
Was the original microphone defective in some way? Does it now have a
different insert? If it is different mechanically, what is the
difference?
