Feature:
It's very light weight and I didn't need a long cord but that wouldn't be a problem if I needed one. I wish it had a switch. At the end of my concerts I move around and I have to take the thing off which so far has resulted in a loud thump and scratching sound. I have to grab for the mixer now. A switch would be nice.

Quality:
It seems to be a little light weight but that's also an advantage. I always have backups for almost everything. Right now that's a stand mike. I'm a sax player so the vocal stand mike gets in my way. I am always on the road traveling somewhere to gigs and I can't go back for something.

Value:
yes

Desirability:
I don't wear it around my head because I often have a hat on so I put it around my neck outside my coller. It doesn't interfere with my sax neckstrap since it's lite weight too

Sound:
I think the sound is pretty good. I read another review before purchasing the mike that panned the sound. There advantages to stand mikes but for what I needed this is pretty good. It tends to pop without the included wind shields.

Ease of Use:
works good for me.

Support:
no problems

Overall:
I was originally going to go wireless but since I am only a couple of feet from my mixer the cord length and all the extra junk I would have to carry for wireless makes wireless less than attractive although it has it's advantages too. I will order another one soon.

Feature:
The Audio Technica Pro8HeX is a wired headset, and has a handy clip for making sure the wire doesn't get in the way. I use mine for backing vocals while drumming with my band, Scream, so I attach the clip to the pocket of my pants, running the wire down my back. There's nothing fancy needed with this mic', and that's what I like.

Quality:
The Audio Technica Pro8HeX is built like a tank. When I first purchased mine 5 years ago, I actually bought 2, one for a back-up, just in case. (I'm somewhat anal like that.) I have yet to break out the backup mic'. The original one has been in use 3 nights a week for five years with absolutley no failures whatsoever.

Value:
Great bang for the buck! Best value in headset microphones on the market today.

Desirability:
Doesn't look sexy, but it's light and comfortable on the head.

Sound:
I've owned the Audio Technica Pro8HeX for 5 years now. Is it gonna sound like an SM-57 or 58? No. But, if you are a singing drummer doing backups, this mic' is a good, solid, if unspectacular option.

Ease of Use:
The Audio Technica Pro8HeX is a solid, steady mic. But like most other headsets, it's going to sound thin. Your soundman (or you) will need to tweak your channel settings on your board. If you have a deeper voice, like me, you'll need to cut some of the highs and boost the bottom end. It'll never sound like an SM-58, but for your dollars spent, the sound is decent, once you tweak it.

Support:
-Have not needed AT support-

Overall:
I've owned the Audio Technica Pro8HeX for 5 years now. Is it gonna sound like an SM-57 or 58? No. But, if you are a singing drummer doing backups, this mic' is a good, solid, if unspectacular option. It never feeds back, it's rock-solid and tough as nails, and light. The sound is a bit thin, but your soundman can dial it in for you by cutting some highs and boosting the bottom end.

Feature:
The best feature is the lack of features . It does what its supposed to do without any bells and whistles . Could use an on/off switch but that is not really a problem .

Quality:
Lightweight and tough enough to last you for a long time . I guess if you mistreat the thing it will quit on you , but that would be user error ......

Value:
I paid $120.00 for mine and will gladly do so again should something happen to the one I have now .

Desirability:
Its a Plain Jane that gets the job done . Thats appealing to me .

Sound:
The sound quality is exactly what I expected . Crisp and clear . Less feed back problems than the other mics in my arsenal . Certainly cuts through mix nicely .

Ease of Use:
Sits on your head and doesn't move around like some others . Easily adjusted for comfort and use .

Support:
I have no idea as I haven't ever needed to contact them .

Overall:
More comfortable than any of the others ( and theres been a few ). Sounds good , dependable and you don't need to take out a loan to get one . What else do you want ?

Feature:
Two windscreens included, although the big one is, well, REALLY big!. The small one does a great job when close talking the microphone.

Quality:
Solid, stays where you put it. Its a bit on the tight side for my temples, but I can move it around to work around my glasses.

Value:
Great value for the money. I would say it is priced well. Wish it came with a closed cup headset, then I would never look at Heil again.

Desirability:
Its a microphone, that fits on your head and you speak on it. Its as reliable as a Hockey Puck or a Paper Clip. And it sounds just wonderful, with rich full sound with very good midrange articulation, which is what is needed for SSB audio.

Sound:
Great articulation. Just enough low end with anice midrange and just enough top end. Fits my voice and its purpose, which is good articulation for Amateur Radio SSB audio

Ease of Use:
Has a pronounced proximity effect for base. You have to use the windscreen, or you can pop plosives easily.

Support:
I have owned and/or used AT products in the past, both personally and in my work, and have never needed to contact the factory for any issue. Solid reliability!

Overall:
Been working fine when I use it, about three months now, with several transmitters. Easy to equalize to sound just the way you want to sound since it is so well balanced tonaly. I really wish you could get this mic capsule with full ear cup sound sealing headsets. As it is now, I can only use it with speakers, must use my other Heil headset in contesting, which is a shame, since this mic sounds so good.

Overall:
I dont sing lead vocals so I wasnt going to spend a boat load of money on a head worn mic . This thing dose the job for me . this thing stays on my head like its suppose too ! There have been times when I forgot I had it on and walked off before unpluging it , then stepped on it as I went to pick it up . No worries , the thing just keeps on working like nothing ever happened ! If I were a lead singer then maybe I would get something better...maybe .

I am not sure what the ProHEx is like but the PRO8 was a waste of money. The connection point where the head piece connects into the temple rest is made of very small pieces of plastic that can not handle the strain (these should have been metal clips or something). Essentially one little mishap destroys the use of microphone.
