No better mic for the price
I use the OLM2 on interviews where it can be visible on screen with the clip and also on shoots where it needs to be hidden from view under the talent's clothing.

I use the OLM2 on interviews where it can be visible on screen with the clip and also on shoots where it needs to be hidden from view under the talent's clothing.
The OLM2's natural eq is great and the slight boost in the top end keeps the talents words crisp and clear even when concealed under a shirt with tape.
It is very durable. I was concerned I would immediately be buying a new one when the talent let the mic's wireless pack dangle from the mic cable, but its proven to be very sturdy so far.
I occasionally found some weird hums coming from the mic (with the included metal windscreen on) when concealed under clothing with tape. Once I removed the metal windscreen, the hum was eliminated.

Works for the immediate need, but...
I have the Sennheiser G2 wireless lavs and have had to replace this mic 3 times. The cable is not very durable at all and therefore somewhat over priced.

No need to buy the sennheiser replacement when this is an option. Same quality, same build, and a bit cheaper. Lav clip is a bit fragile, but they all tend to be.

Comments about Pearstone OLM2 Replacement Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone f/ Sennheiser ME2:
I do corporate and event video. Not only is this mic less expensive that the Sennheiser OEM unit, I actually favor the sound over the Senn. There's a bit of a bump in the high end that adds a bit of brightness. Not too much though. The construction quality seems almost identical to the OEM.

I purchased this mic to replace a original Sennheiser mic that came with my ew100 G2 wireless transmitter. The mic works great. I have used it on several assignments and have no problems. Works as the original, but smaller and more compact. I recommend this mic as a second or replacement.
