Earworn and Earset Microphones
... for precise mic placement
Earworn microphones are an exceptional choice to control the audio output level of the speaker or singer. When the microphone element has controlled placement at the mouth — close to the sound source — a consistent output is nearly guaranteed. The bendable boom of our earworn microphones easily molds to the ear and face shape for an optimal fit. The earworn microphone follows head movement giving the user freedom to articulate every word or lyric without compromise.
Compare Our Earset Mics
There are many earset microphone options and it can be confusing as to which one will serve your needs best. A couple of important factors to consider are the SPL ratings depending on whether the earset will be used for speaking or singing, and microphone durability depending on how often it will be used and if the microphone will be shared and needs to be reshaped constantly. This can put a lot of stress on the microphone so take into account boom flexibility in your decision.
