I previously mentioned that I use an Audio Technica System 10, but in fact, WE use three system 10s. My wife Lynn and I, call duet singing calls with two handhelds, and I often use the headset at ONS parties. If one receiver, or mic,dies, I can change the pairing as needed. I can also use all

Some things on wireless headsets: There are complete kits. Brands I’ve used and liked: Shure Sennheiser Brands I’d avoid: Nady—really cheap, poor construction Samson—better than Nady If you do a search on these mics, most of what we see are the consumer, like Nady & Samson

I have been using an Audio Technica System 10 headset, and I am happy with it. It is a good mic for *singing* and speaking. If I were not a singing caller, I would probably use a different mic with the same System 10. Rich Sbardella On Tue, Sep 6, 2016 at 11:42 AM, via Callers

I sent this last week but got a message from Dave Casserly telling me the message had been marked as spam, so I'm guessing it mostly disappeared into everyone's lint filter. I've read the previous threads on headsets going back to 2014 and there aren't a lot of specifics. JoLaine, if you're
