Small, lightweight and nearly invisible, miniature head worn microphones offer high-performance transducers able to stand up to the hazards of sweat, water, makeup and rough handling. Current models offer a variety of styles (earworn or headset), colors, prices and terminations to interface with any kind of wireless bodypack. Here is a sampling of what’s available.
