Shure DH5 Overview

The tan Shure DH5 DuraPlex is an omnidirectional miniature headset microphone equipped with a 3-pin LEMO connector for compatible Shure wireless bodypack transmitters. Built for the rigors of professional use, this durable mic offers a neutral, full-range sound ideal for capturing speech, dialog, and singing in broadcast, presentation, and theater applications.

The DH5 DuraPlex features a 5mm miniature capsule on a silicone boom pivot system that can be discreetly placed on either the left or right ear. The mic offers high gain before feedback, making it well suited for speech and dialog at events with loud sound reinforcement. To compensate for any potential loss of high end when positioning the mic, a presence cap is included that boosts the 10 kHz range about 3 to 4 dB for added clarity and intelligibility.

Designed to stand up to adverse conditions, the mic is equipped with a long-lasting, fully paintable, 1.6mm Shure Plex cable. The dual-redundant ground in the cable serves as secondary shield, giving it unprecedented durability and immunity to memory effect and kinks.

Shure DH5 Reviews

At Last!

By Margaret
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-04-29

For years, I've put up with a single earpiece headset microphone that kept falling to the ground as I moved around while teaching and calling for English Country Dances. I also had trouble positioning the microphone to consistently pick up my voice. My husband recommended I go to the B&H website as he has dealt with them for years and had great success. Within minutes I found exactly what I needed, in just a few days, it arrived, and proved to be perfect.

Solid and reliable

These are solid mics, reliable and mostly comfortable. A little spicy in the 3k-4k range but overall sounds great.
