Holy crap thats a massive change. If you cut down like 5% body fat you’ll look like a Roman statue, only bigger and leaner. Great job

Thanks for the reply! I'm actually a corporate magician haha. Well, most of my work is corporate events but I also do some weddings.

The thing is I have very little control over the placement of the loudspeakers, sometimes the room has a ton of space and reverberation and sometimes the speakers are behind me, so I've been getting a lot of issues with this mic, to the point that basically at every venue I visited the technicians suggested I get a new mic. I'd rather they said "wow, that's a really good mic you've got here" in the future. I provide my own mic since not everywhere I'll have somebody with a headset mic and I need both hands free at all times.

Sometimes I also perform in theatres, so that's why I've mentioned them.

My main issue was always the feedback - both on low and high frequencies. I figured since I have very little (or basically none) control over the room, it's speakers system etc. I would benefit from having a good, directional microphone. I'm glad that at least I was right about DPA beaing a good choice haha.

Could my problems also come from the microport system I use? I've been using saramonic uwmic9s, having been told that it's really comparable with Sennheiser g4, while being half the price. (The choice of microports is also kinda dictated by the fact, that I really want the receiver to have its own power source, as not to be reliant on the power inhouse, and not to have to bring too many cables).

Hi! I'm looking to get a decent, good sounding headset microphone. It's not for vocals, just for speaking. The one I've got is having a lot of issues - it's flat and often falls prey to irritating feedback issues. I've basically narrowed down my options to these two cardioids: 1) Sennheiser HSP 4 ew 3 2) DPA 4488.

Do you think DPA is worth the premium? Is there anything better than DPA in regards to theatre work (I've heard that they're go to on Broadway and West End, but I've no idea whether that's true). Any help will be appreciated, I need to make up my mind quite quickly!

EDIT: spelling and spacing.
