Countryman E6OW5T2SL Springy E6 Omnidirectional Earset with 2-mm Cable for Shure/Carvin/JTS/Trantec Transmitters (Tan)

Fantastic mic for vocals. We use it mostly for spoken word, so can’t say much about singing quality.Get the 2mm cable, the 1mm cable doesn’t hold up well. Definitely follow the guidance on not putting sharp bends in it.If you’ve been using lavs, you’ll wonder why. This has equal volume independent of the speaker’s head position. Well worth the upgrade.

I have been working with Countryman earset Microphones for some years now. I have ALWAYS been impressed with the audio quality that they provide. I have used them with Sennheiser & Shure wireless bodypacks and like both set-ups as well. From church services to stage performances to graduations on a football field outside, the Countryman E6 Earset Mic has provided excellent quality sound every time. The only concern (not complaint) is you must be careful when handling the unit. After lots of use, the connector just below the ear loop can become loose, which can cause popping or static noises. However, this is only after many uses AND when users are not handling it carefully. As long as the E6 is treated with proper care, it will provide excellent audio quality without having to use a bulky headset.

After trying a number of over the ear mics, I always come back to the countryman for sensitivity and audio quality. Only drawback is the durability, you should handle with care.

It works.

Very good mic but is pricy...

If you know anything about over the ear mics, this one is the way to go! Countryman has become an industry standard not only for reliability, but for consistency and overall sound quality. Price is very reasonable considering a normal replacement lapel mic is $150 and this is only $100 more. Do yourself a favor and buy the replacement cable so you're prepared for sennheiser packs or shure packs

We use these on VIP clients at a university. The E6 is a lightweight simple solution for these folks as long as you take a little time to get them on properly. This model has the slightly thicker cable which I am hoping will make them more durable than earlier models we ordered. Don't forget to get extra collar clips - they probably will go missing at some point - and they are necessary.

The cord breaks every few years, but this works nicely, with good tone and comfort. Fair enough price.
