Bobbsy Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I recall we went down this road with a deal from CPC a few years back but... I just took a punt and bought a couple of THESE for use with my Sennheiser radio mic packs. They arrived yesterday and I gave them a good try out today. They're a bit toppy but it was easily cured with EQ--and once you've done that they sound absolutely fine. They're not a DPA or Countryman but, for the money, they're darn good and make headsets a disposable item (which is good since even the expensive ones are pretty fragile). This is from the Aussie eBay site but, since they come from China, I assume you can order from the UK. Buyer experience was good--got an email same day as I'd ordered confirming they'd been posted and they arrived in just under a week rather than the "up to 3 weeks" they say. Anyhow, just mentioning in case it helps anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedd Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Your link's not working bobbsy (well, it's not there!). I've been using some from China that I bought in a batch of 20. Very happy with them and they came in at under £20 per headset when I bought in bulk. I have to reterminate them when they arrive here because despite being a 4 pin mini xlr, they don't have the 10k resistor in them that my beltpacks need. At the same time I replace the mini XLR with a REAN one which behaves much better, and I also stick some heatshrink strain relief on each end. Had my first ever show using headsets where I managed 22 mics over 10 performances plus 3 rehearsals, complete with swaps, without a single failure. Unheard of!

Bobbsy Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Ooops, sorry. The link should be fixed now. That price works out to about £14.75 per mic at today's exchange rate--I haven't tried to negotiate a bulk deal but I might see if he would do a deal. No problems with the connectors for me--they work out of the box on Sennheisers with the locking 3.5mm jack. I've been thinking of the heat shrink strain relief myself--problem is finding my collection of heat shrink which is in a box somewhere since our move a few weeks back.
