​Hi Jill, Does you​r Sennheiser headset have a non-standard connector (one that screws into the transmitter/receiver?) It's nice that mine stays plugged in, but it was a real pain when a wire broke in the cable and I had to do major surgery rather than simply replacing it with a standard

Regarding the Sennheiser: Headpiece: ME3-ew Belt pack and receiver: ew 100 G3 I like the headpiece because it stays in place, the sound quality of the system is excellent and I have never had a problem with it in 8 -10 years. Also, I recently purchased a "Compact Powered PA System" by the

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

Kalia and others, I have been using an Audio-Technica wireless system for over 13 years. And I am very pleased with its performance. Whereas I don’t like a mic on my head, this works for me in gigs where I need my hands. I have both a headset mic (with belt-pack) and a hand-held cordless mic

Hi Kalia, I also use a Countryman wireless mic - have been using it for a few years now, and it's terrific and easy. It's pricey, but it's been worth it. I used to have the Samson Airline 77, which I loved (because it didn't need a belt pack), but it drove my sound person crazy and it finally

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

Hi all I was just working a wedding gig and my old Samson headset mic crapped out. If the piano player hadn't had hers along, I would have been in serious trouble. Time for a new and more reliable headset mic. I use my hands a LOT when I'm doing ONS gigs, so a handheld cordless isn't
