It's a strange one, though.
I have never used a headset, and I think I would find it a bit strange; what being used to being 'glued' to the mike, it sort of keeps me anchored.
I would be afraid it would make me look like Garth Brooks, or somebody.

I would use one, of course, if by doing so would make me the money he was making!!!

Downside of it, though.
Sometimes when you have to clear your throat, and you choose the the end of a sentence, or the end of a verse to quickly turn away from the mike, and 'cough', you can do this without having the audience aware that you have just done it.
With a head-set, you can't really do that 'off-mike', as it were.

this one has a mute button so as long as I remember to turn it off at the end of a song I can still chat to the band......

mainly I want to be able to go onto the floor and demonstrate dances if I have to

Headworn mics are also great for flute/whistle/recorder players, making it fairly straightforward to switch instruments. It doesn't work for reed instruments, as the noise comes out of the other end (so to speak!).

It's wise to use the popshield, even if you don't have P and B problems, as it offers the mic capsule protection from you 'gobbing' all over it.

I have such a way with words...

Willie-O,I had a look at the Shure company's web site for the Shure Superpro PE50SP. Lots of other "PE" models, but no 50's. This is the link:

At their home site, there's lots of good information about specific mics, and much advice about mic techniques for different situations.

In my reply to Willie-O about his Shure PE50SP mic, i made a Blue Clicky that doesn't work.

Here's the email address for Shure's contact support group:

I like the Sennheiser 835s. Works great for me.
