Reviews

Excellent!
For the price, you can't go wrong with this microphone! It worked exactly as expected with excellent sound quality. I would definitely purchase again.
Singing mic
Works and adjusts well. Happy I purchased it
Very satisfied!
I needed a hands free, stand free, feedback resistant mic for my one man band setup. I was using a Shure beta 58A and wanted something of similar quality in the same price range. The Audio —Technica pro 8HEx exceeded my expectations. It is clear sounding, lightweight, comfortable and feedback resistant. I also am able to easily use it with my XVive wireless system without the transmitter getting in my way because it can connect to the attached cable instead of being at the base of the mic.
I'm very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend this product!
Great Headset mic for Drummers or any where wired setup works
I got this one for my drummer to use for some vocal parts. I don't need the wireless feature since he isn't moving around much, and I appreciate the small pickup pattern on this mic to help isolate bleed-over.

Once I received it, I realized the headset padding is designed so you can wear this multiple ways. It doesn't have to sit in a specific orientation like other units I've used in the past. This is important if you use over-the-ear IEMs. Of course, it gets a bit of drum bleed, but it's not overly bad, and the flexible boom arm makes it easy to position the mic close to the mouth, making the bleed a non-issue when picking up the vocal.

The only additional thing that would be nice to have is an on/off switch to mute it when not in use, so it doesn't always need to be muted on the console. While this is fairly common for mics not to have a switch, I ended up adding an inline cord with a switch for this purpose. This is great for sending to different Front-of-House (FOH) mixers as it allows the user to control the mute instead of the FOH engineer having to worry about it.
Exactly what I needed!
Thanks to Matt and the crew at Sweetwater,I always get what I need with excellent service, shipping and product.
Never a bad experience with Sweetwater
Music background: My band plays today's and yesterday's Classic Rock Hits. I also do SOLO acoustic shows and do some busking.
