Shure Beta 54 Headset Condenser Microphone

This headset microphone from Shure features snap-fit windscreens that stay in place during intensive movement.

The Shure BETA 54 is a subminiature, electret condenser headworn microphone. It provides uncompromised sound quality and reliability with minimal visibility in applications such as broadcast, theater, and touring. Despite the small size, the condenser element delivers full, clear, and natural reproduction of speech and vocals.

The microphone features a durable, low-profile wire frame headband which is fully adjustable for stability and comfort. A plastic carrying case protects the microphone and its accessories.

I use EV ND67A wired mic for vocals and this has similar response. Comfortable enough and stable. Have to use compression to equalize volume.
