Have any of you Mudcatters experience of using headset microphones? I'd love to hear views on pro's and con's.

I'd guess pro's might include: light and portable; ease of set up; ease of moving your head and staying 'on mic' e.g. when you've just *got* to look at your left hand and sing; ability to move around generally - for those up-tempo numbers - and stay 'on-mic'; less of a physical barrier between yourself and the audience...

Con's might include: inability to stand off when hitting those big notes/move in close for the intimate notes; inability to move off mic to clear throat...

But I'm only guessing. Have you got actual performance experience, and what have you found?

Cheers,
