[QUOTE="Aaron McQueen, post: 72954, member: 1205"] Re: Budget earset mics I picked up one of these on Amazon for $17 for our christmas production. We have 7 bodypacks but needed a few more headsets. I got one of the MM and one of these. We now have 4 dual ear from MM, 2 single ear from MM, and one of the Pyle units. The Pyle unit came with a short in the connector, so I had to re-terminate the connector. For $17 I didn't mind. It sounds great, and for my head it fits better then the MM units. The mic capsule on the Pyle is bigger than on the MM. One big difference is how the units are fitted. The MM headsets are very flexible. They can be reshaped anyway you like. The problem is that they usually get returned very out of shape and have to be reshaped. If you leave that up to the person wearing it, the mic usually gets pointed away from their mouth. The Pyle is rigid and doesn't allow for shaping, so the mic usually ends up in a good position with little or no fitting. But I could see how it could snap if bent too far. Imagine someone sitting on it. I'm not really sure how I'm going to safely store this mic until next year.
