Microphone and Headphones: All-in-One Convenience

No longer does a microphone and headphones have to be two separate entities. Gone are the days when microphone cords limited mobility and presented hazards to movement. Bulky headsets with dangling cords have also gone by the wayside.

Wireless microphone headsets are a convenient electronic advancement in the world of technology. Providing freedom of movement and hands free operation, wireless headphones are not limited to the audio world of listening to music on your CD player or for answering phones in a business setting. Far from it. Headsets that contain a microphone and are wireless are used by active athletic instructors, public speakers, musicians, comedians, and classroom teachers to name a few.

What features should I look at when considering the use of a wireless headset with an attached microphone?

• One of the main differences between wireless headset units is what frequency they transmit sound in - either UHF (ultra high frequency) or VHF (very high frequency). UHF wireless microphone units are usually more expensive as they are less "crowded" and therefore less susceptible to interference from similar headphone systems being used nearby.
• Some wireless microphone systems have transmitters that can be used with either a handheld, headset, or "lavalier" (clipped-on or wrapped around the neck) style of microphone.
• Determine if the wireless microphone attached to the headphones capabilities, can be used on either side of the face, has an easy to locate and easy to use on-off switch, mute button, and/or volume control, and a battery gauge.
• A number of wireless microphone head sets have an easy to use "plug and play" capability that automatically selects the best frequency to use.
• Comfort is critical - wireless headphones come in a variety of styles with different padding and attachment options.
• Some wireless microphones have noise canceling capabilities to minimize the projection of surrounding noise.

Wireless microphone headsets offer the best of many worlds. Regardless of your specific needs, a wireless set of headphones can be a welcome addition to your communication components.
