[QUOTE="Brian Adams, post: 147437, member: 963"] Re: Headset Microphones for High School Theatre I have several of the Pyle mics, both the single and double ear models. I had one arrive DOA, otherwise I haven't experienced a failure. They don't get used very often, and the use they do get isn't extreme. I'll be using them again in February for a theatre thing that might be a little more intense, so I guess that'll be a better test. In any case, the Pyle mics sound OK. Actually, they sound great for the price. I had a show recently where we used some Pyle headsets to supplement some DPA headsets, so I was able to get a direct comparison between the least and most expensive headsets you can buy. Everyone was surprised by the Pyle mics. It was obvious that the DPA was better, but the Pyle wasn't that much worse, and they're 1/50th the cost. I can literally buy 50 Pyle mics for the price of 1 DPA. They're not quite as "clean" sounding as the DPA, but that didn't surprise me. They don't need a ton of EQ, and feedback resistance is better than I expected. If you have Shure packs, it would be a small investment to give a couple of the Pyle mics a try. I guarantee you can't find a better sounding headset mic for under $11. ;) [/QUOTE]
