Countryman Isomax Reviews

Sounds Good, Too Heavy

By Matt
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2022-11-28

Audio quality is good for this price, but the headset is heavy compared to newer designs. It is hard to keep it place and gets uncomfortable after long use.

It works

With a hearing on the left and a cochlear implant on the right and add glasses I can still wear comfortable the headset. The voice pick up is always the same. It works!

I have been using these for the last 5 years. They are very reliable and very sturdy, best headset I have ever purchased.

What it lacks in Flexibility, it makes up in Sound

Our worry about feedback with this style of microphone has all but been nullified by this high performing microphone! Sounds great in small and large venues. However, the frame is very rigid and difficult to form to the head.

Remarkable headset!

The Isomax headset is the best sound reproduction microphone for head worn gear. It captures your voice at full strength, including a whisper, and is perfect for live sound applications. It's easy to adjust for your head, and is comfortable to wear for long periods. This is money well invested!!!

strong mid-range mic

an excellent headset--we used this to replace a Shure that came in a wireless mic set and it's got a little more sensitivity and range for sure. I find it a little less comfortable than some, but the sound is excellent. Good for talks and performances
