Good sound but be wary of what application you're using it for. Fragile.

This mic does sound great but I've been using these for a year 7 per show, high activity shows, lots of dancing and have had many problems. Have had several cables break and two mics have already gone down through sweat getting in the capsules (been using the protective caps AND the windscreens). We used to use Crowns and while the E6's are much more invisible, I highly doubt they will last us the 10 years that the crowns did. I'm probably going to have to invest in a whole new set soon and it most likely won't be the E6's.

Having said that, if your application is mostly speech or singing with little strenuous movement, this is your mic.

  An effortless mic with remarkable sound

I use E6 mics to record high quality oral history interviews. Even the quiet voices of little sainted grandmas are captured clearly and strongly with the E6. Not only does the E6 capture excellent sound but the wearer quickly becomes oblivious to wearing the mic which helps them relax, contributing to a successful interview.

  This mic changes everything

I love this mic. The freedom is excellent. The pick-up is excellent, clean, crisp, clear and true. I have had senior adults using a wireless hearing imparied system turn in their packs because they can hear so clearly with the new mic, they don't need their earplug. It is comfortable and I don't even know it is there. You can not see it and the matte finish does not glare off our television lights.

  Love the mic...hate the earpiece!

I've worn my countryman now for 2 years. I love the mic...but I hate the earpiece. I have never been able to get it just right. The mic performance can't be beat...but perhaps a new design on the ear piece, just for me.

  Great mic...and strong

I love this mic. I read a review here that indicated it was fragile, but I've used more than one of this model mic in multiple applications for several years now and never had to make repairs.

  Great mic, but fragile

Let me say first that I really do like this mic. It sounds great, is practically invisible, and it's really easy to work with. I use it with a Shure wireless system and it works really well. However, I'm really disappointed with how fragile it is. I've had to have the cable and connector repaired several times, even though I only use it once a week. Also, one thing you need to know is that this mic should only be adjusted for one performer. If you are constantly adjusting it for different people, eventually you'll wear out the plastic housing and it will snap (as mine did today). So if you are working with different performers or speakers, either buy one of these for each or use a lapel.

This mic is awesome!

My jaw hit the floor when I plugged this mic in! It is the most incredible headset mic I have ever used! I am about to buy 7 more!
