I use this product in announcing sporting events for a local high school athletic program. The WH200TR was selected over the same manufacturer's SM-10A because this unit is inobtrusive in appearance, and was reputed to have excellent sound quality.
The headset performed very well, once the PA system was adjusted for the unit's much more sensitive microphone than the handheld previously used. This adjustment did take a bit more time than expected, however once properly tuned in the mic works very well. The primary advantage this unit has is its superior sound quality; my big adjustment difficulty was in lowering my voice; I tended to ovewhelm the mic with it being so close to my lips. It just takes some trial and error.
Two gripes. The first is important; the headset only has a four-foot cable. Once the headset is on your head, you can't go very far from the amp/mixer. Second, I really wish the mic had an inline on/off switch. Out of the box, it is always "on". A switch would make this unit perfect.
I have read some other reviews where the user was complaining about the fit of the headset. This unit has a heavy rigid metal frame which fits behind the head and over the top of each ear. By it's nature, it is somewhat spring-loaded. Once the fit is adjusted by trial and error, the headset is really very comfortable, but time is required to get the fit just right.
I rate at Four-Stars due to the lack of an on/off switch. I would purchase this unit again.
I havent used my mic for a while, but when I have, it's been fairly good. The biggest issue I have with it is the headband- I wish it didnt hurt so much! And it does interefere with my glasses at times... so taking it off and putting it on all the time can be a pain. As for performance, well, on Tour (i drive a tour bus and narrate at the same time) it has a very good sound to it, and the microphone doesnt feel like it's in the way (its actually sort of comfortable if you get the head strap on right).
Honestly, the worst thing about this mic is the head band since it's metal and pokes a lot. Thats the reason for 4 stars. Other than that, I couldnt reccomend another!
