PRO 8HEx Hypercardioid Dynamic Headworn Microphone, XLR Connector

For general use, this is a nice microphone, It fits well, without being overly snug (some headworns can be painfully tight!) and the XLR cable is a few feet long, so its easy to route it where I need it. My primary use for this mic is with a transmitter, along with a Bose S1Pro+ speaker. The transmitter connect directly to the to the XLR out, with a solid and secure connection. Sound is excellent, with a balanced frequency response, and no static or other electrical noise. My one issue with the mic is that there is a lot of handling noise. Any movement of the cable while using it produces sound- and although I can reduce it using a noise gate in my effects loop, I’d rather have a slightly quieter mic. Otherwise it works as it should. Its compact and light and can easily fit in my gigbag. Positionng is pretty flexible - from close in for quiet work to a few inches away when I need to belt a song.

Excellent microphone headset. Had to replace two different Shure headsets that developed wiring shorts after intermittent use as a public address announcer. The new Audio-Technica PRO 8Hex seems to be considerably better build with heavier gauge wiring and it is remarkably more "live" and really cuts through. I have a big noggin, so it fits a little tight but will break in over time. Used in conjunction with a cutoff switch, it is perfect for our needs.

I wanted a wired headset mic and this is about the only one I could find. And the price is reasonable. I had to send the first one back due to a problem but the company/seller was very responsive and took care of it right way. The new one has worked perfectly ever since, a few months now. It allows me to play the keyboard and sing without having to have a mic in front of my face. I love it. The quality of the sound is good. I use a mixer to beef up the tones a little and voila, I have a headset mic that sounds great in any situation. For me, sitting next to the mixer board during performance, it's easy to plug it straight into the board because the chord that comes with it is well long enough, around 10'. Speaking of the wire, I do wish it were thicker, more industrial strength so that it will last for many years. I feel that it has to be handled delicately and carefully and I'll be worried about this coming apart or developing a problem at some point. For now, it's great!

AT Pro8Hex hypercardioid pattern is fantastic at noise reduction. The headband is comfortable and the goose neck stays where you put it. Lastly, the output signal is stronger than many I have tried so I can keep the mixer gain low and never get into "hiss" range. I use it for singing while playing acoustic guitar. It has great sound clarity but I do have to add a little bottom in processing for singing due to the frequency response curve. To be fair, I have only found one pro head mic that didn't need some added bottom for singing but the output was much lower so the AT Pro8Hex easily wins that comparison. Because it is Dynamic XLR I can use this mic straight into the board or through a wireless body pack with an adapter that includes a bias blocking capacitor.

Fantastic as a professional drummer I need something good , pretty much exceeds my expectations thank you

Excellent sound, works with amps even if they don't have phantom power. Volume isn't extremely high but very clear and loud enough.

I’ve had one of these units for a decade, and it’s served me well, faithfully and without fault. I love that it’s dynamic and cardioid—makes it less fragile and more tonally consistent, and sound quality is very usable for live performance. But I figured it was time to replace, as mine had lost all its foam and probably was losing some fidelity from age and use. I bought this replacement, but the quality is NOT the same as the prior one. It sounded tinny and had lower output. An A-B test against the first mic (during a stage sound check, unfortunately) confirmed it was defective, so I sent it back for a refund. I give three stars because it’s a great mic—when it’s fully functional. But if this is any indication of the QC process, I’d be wary before buying in a situation where it’s time sensitive.

I love the ability to not have to sit in front of the microphone on a stand. I use a wireless adapter with this so I don't have to use an extention and be tied down to a mixer board. Only thing is that the performance is not as good as using a regular microphone. Other than that, I love using this headworn mic.

Le son est merveilleux! Super pratique pour chanter les mains libres. Facile d'ajouter un adaptateur pour éviter les fils qui traînent par terre, donc liberté totale! Génial!

arrivé en panne genial !

works great, good sound and easy to use

Premetto che la marca è un sinonimo di buoni prodtti per quanto riguarda sia la parte microfonica che le cuffie, quindi nell'acquisto si va abbastanza sul sicuro. Posseggo già un ottimo AT 2035 cardiodide per studio recording e quindi cercando un micorofono wired per poter avere le mani libere suonando chitarra o tastiera e registrando in presa diretta la scelta è ricaduta su questo prodotto che, pur non essendo un fulmine di guerra per la registrazione voce, è un ottimo compromesso tra live e studio recording. Ma le 3 stelle sono per un elemento che giudico assai preoccupante, ovvero la sezione del cavo del jack che è molto, ma molto, sottile e la preoccupazione consequenziale che, visto che è costruito in modo da non poterlo sostituire, se si rompe addio microfono con conseguente perdita secca dei 100 euro circa del costo. Da una casa così seria mi sarei aspettato che la sezione di cavo dal mic al jack fosse staccabile e quindi facilmente sostituibile.

great. received quickly.
