[Plug-In Power] I teach aerobics and use this mic in class. The last one I had lasted 8 years and would have lasted longer had it not been accidentally left on a cabinet and a heavy object thrown on top of it. grrr I am hoping this new one lasts as long or longer. I have tried other headsets and nothing sounds as good and is as comfortable as the countryman. You will get cracking sounds from moisture (hey, it's Jazzercise and heck yes I SWEAT!), but I have found that working to position the mic down and away from you mouth and cheeks help. This mic will pick up the sound just fine and it does not need to be right up against you mouth to do so. Yes it is more expensive than other aerobic mic alternatives, but it will last at least twice as long and sound so much better.

[Plug-In Power] an excellent headset--we used this to replace a Shure that came in a wireless mic set and it's got a little more sensitivity and range for sure. I find it a little less comfortable than some, but the sound is excellent. Good for talks and performances

[Black] We have had an older version of this headset for a long time. So when looking for a new one we wanted to go with a Countryman again. Straight out of the box this sounded just as we expected. If you are in need of a pro headset for a singer type...they are bulletproof.

[Plug-In Power] I have a side gig as PA announcer for a local university and they decided to employ a DJ for their basketball games this year. He plays so loud it adversely affects my hearing and my equilibrium during and after the games. I have used a Shure WH20XLR headset for 20 years but it has no earpads for passive noise reduction.

The A-T BPHS-1 has changed my announcing experience. I don't use the 1/4" plug since I don't need to hear my own voice so I just plug the XLR cable into my switch box and talk away. It greatly reduces the DJ music but I can still converse with the officials and fellow workers at the scorers table. The best part is being able to remove the headset after the game and not feel fatigued from battling all of the noise.

The A-T also has a better frequency response than my Shure in addition to being more sensitive so I don't have to shout to be heard and my voice comes across deeper as well. It is extremely well made and I have not experienced any of the creaking issues mentioned in other reviews. The boom mike stays where you put it and you don't have to have the windscreen right up against your mouth.

[Omnidirectional] This was a very easy ordering experience and ended up with a great product. B&H carries everything I need to keep us up and running with extras on hand. The cable is just like the original that came with the body pack and works perfectly. Fast shipping, just as described and very pleased!

[Plug-In Power] We were needing the larger diameter cables as replacements for our church's wireless microphones.  
B & H came through from the manufacturer with a great price and quick shipping !

[Black] Exactly what I was looking in my teaching practice. It allows me to communicate with my students and have ear protection at the same time.

[Plug-In Power] I am a Jazzercise instructor and use this mic 3-5 times per week. I bought it to go with my Audio Technica transmitter and receiver. It sounds SO much better than my original AT mic headset! It does not contact my skin so does not get soaked with sweat like my AT mic did. The sound is pretty amazing. It is lightweight and comfortable but I had to change the way I wear my hair when working out because the design hit my ponytail. So now I wear the ponytail a bit higher and clip this headset right below it. It does not stay in place without the clip. Maybe it would for someone with short hair. I was disappointed that this product did not come with a carrying case. I have to travel to my class locations and am currently using the small cardboard box that it came in.

[Black] With a hearing on the left and a cochlear implant on the right and add glasses I can still wear comfortable the headset. The voice pick up is always the same. It works!

[Black] Well worth the price for all day (8-10 hours) of comfort while teaching remote classes via Zoom. These also provide better audio quality for my voice which is important for my work. If quality and comfort, at an affordable price is what you are looking for, then you have found the right headset.
