[Callers] Headset mics, take two

[Kalia Kliban via Callers]

I sent this last week but got a message from Dave Casserly telling me 
the message had been marked as spam, so I'm guessing it mostly 
disappeared into everyone's lint filter.  I've read the previous threads 
on headsets going back to 2014 and there aren't a lot of specifics. 
JoLaine, if you're reading this, I'd love to know what model you use. 
You mentioned that it was a Shure and that you loved it.  And Rich 
Sbardella mentioned last year that his Shure had been giving him 
trouble.  Rich, what model is yours, and are you happy with your 
replacement?

Here's the mail from last week, to get those of you who didn't see it on 
the same page with those who did:

Hi all

I was just working a wedding gig and my old Samson headset mic crapped 
out.  If the piano player hadn't had hers along, I would have been in 
serious trouble.  Time for a new and more reliable headset mic.  I use 
my hands a LOT when I'm doing ONS gigs, so a handheld cordless isn't an 
option for me.

I'd love recommendations from any of you about specific models to look 
at.  I'm planning to plow the funds from this wedding and some of my 
caller piggy bank into a new mic, so I want something that's really good 
quality.  It doesn't have to be tiny and invisible, but it does need to 
be reliable and sturdy. If it doesn't have a belt pack that's a plus, 
but it seems like most of the good-quality headset mics have belt packs. 
  I'll deal with it if that's the best bet.  So, recommendations?

For reference, the one I was working with was a Samson Airline 77, often 
referred to as the "aerobic instructor mic."  It had the transmitter on 
the headset, so there were no wires or belt pack, and it worked just 
fine for a long time until suddenly it didn't.  I would like to hear 
what folks are using who rely on a headset mic for their calling gigs.
