Headworn Mics

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

I think I need a headworn mic for some video VO work I need to do. The
DPA 4066 and 4088 have been highly recommended, but they're pricey. Any
suggestions for less expensive alternatives?

I would be interested in being discouraged.

Gasoline will probably up to $3/gallon in most of the US in a couple
more weeks.

You can see them every day if you follow cricket.

PS AKG C420 is quite good, but I am biased.

I get a lot of AKG C444 headsets with salted-up capsules, from aerobics.
They are sweat-resistant, but not water-proof ! The gymns don't seem
impressed when I suggest they employ fitter instructors who won't sweat so
much ! ;-)
