Sennheiser SL Headmic Reviews

5-Star audio but the new physical design is lacking

By Roger
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2024-09-05

I've bought a few of these Sennheiser headworm mics for church use. All of them, including this one, offer superb, flat, tonally-balanced audio. But Sennheiser mhas improved the mechanical design by making the mic boom detachable from the headpiece. Prior ones I purchased were a single component. This new design is prone to the mic boom falling off if the wearer tries to adjust it on the fly. Once again, we have a case of If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Do you disconnect headworn mic from transmitter to fit in case?
Asked by: Jenny
Yes, you will need to disconnect the Sennheiser SpeechLine Digital Wireless SL Headmic 1 Headworn Microphone so it will fit properly inside of the case. The case will also hold the wireless bodypack transmitter, but it may not fit into the allotted space when the microphone is connected.
