Re: Best current wireless headset mic for musical theater
It all depends on how much you want to spend. I've had good luck with products from YPA and YAM brands which are cheap enough to be disposable. I like the $75 YPA double earhook headsets the best of all of them.. they're quite adjustable. Sound quality is good, perhaps not as good as Countryman or DPA but for the price I have no complaints.
Countryman and Galaxy both make versions of their single ear headsets with a very short boom which keeps the mic element a little farther from the mouth... I'm told those are popular with theater too, but they've been a little out of my price range. I have both an E6 and a galaxy headset in my collection (I have 10 or 12 different types), and I think the YPA headset is a little better than the Galaxy and perhaps not quite as good as the countryman, but I like it better than the E6 on some voices, so it does vary with the performer a bit.
