J K Headset/Headworn Microphone MIC-J 071S Compatible

Great little headset. The double ear is great for keeping it stable while moving and being very active. The microphone works great. I had seen other reviews mention that they have problems with it being near monitors and mains. I could tell that it would have that problem once I started testing it out. But that problem is very easily fixed if you have the right equipment. First the EQ and gain structure are vital. You need to get the gain just right then EQ. Once you get into the EQ you will need locate the frequency at which the vocal gets muddy and loudest and bring it down and start getting less of those frequencies. After that’s all settled a sure fire way to keep it from getting feedback is to very very lightly throw some gating and compression on the channel to help boost the quiet moments and shut of the microphone when they stop speaking/singing. There’s lots of helpful vids on YouTube. Lastly the reason I gave four stars. The metal ear piece needs some padding on it. On the right ear unless you really really manipulate it. It will dig in to your ear just enough to make it sore after a while. Other than great sound out of it great price and worth the buy

Unless I am doing something wrong I cannot get this to connect I was hoping to use it for a poem recital evening despite my best efforts I was let down do you have any advice am I missing something here for connection to blue tooth???

First, I want to emphasize the “lightweight” comment in my headline was not meant to be a negative statement. I saw others comment that this headset was too lightly built, or even flimsy. I think that the headset is lightweight so that it is unobtrusive and comfortable. We all know that heavy, thick, plastic frame glasses are more rugged than wire rimmed glasses, but many of us select the lighter glasses because they are more comfortable and make only a subtle change to our looks. However, just like light glasses, this headset does take a bit more care. This, (and all microphones), should not be subject to rough handling.
While on the subject of comparing this mic to glasses, it needs some tweaking to get a good fit for each individual. Therefore, consider each headset a custom device for one person. When I got mine fitted properly, I took the additional step of gluing all the frame components with a small dab of clear E-6000 to lock in my fit. Now, I pop it on, and everything is adjusted.
I use the headset mic for singing, and it produces great quality sound when levels are adjusted properly.
The most likely component to fail is the cord, so I consider it an advantage that it can be easily replaced.
Oh, one last thing, the MIC-J version of this headset, unlike what some reported, does allow the mic boom to be easily moved to either side of the headset.

Works nicely with our Sennheiser G3 and G4 transmitter packs. Very sensitive mic, so I pulled it back from the actor’s mouth a bit and lowered the sensitivity on the transmitter. Works as well as more expensive model. A little tightening screw came off at one point, and the mic swung free from the headset, but luckily the part stuck to the actor’s skin so it was easily located and screwed back into place. I was satisfied enough to order four more for our show. Will update my review when I’ve gotten the chance to test them.

UPDATE 4/28
These mics held up beautifully for our production of Chicago (High School Edition). Stayed on actor’s ears and faces even with vigorous dancing. They sound great and the cables and cable connections were sturdier than more expensive headset models we invested in. I am VERY happy with the product and would absolutely buy more.
