I’ve had a number of wireless mics. Many of them come with a simple connector plug, with and additional feature that holds the plug on by screwing the wire to the receiver.

 

When they break—and they do break in a life of plug in, unplug, transport to next gig—I replace them with cheap ones from our local electronics shop (Al Lasher’s on University Ave., in Berkeley CA). You don’t need the screw on tight feature, just one with the same size connector. And I’ve used these at camps, gigs, everywhere, no problem.

 

Of course, you can pay a bit more and replace them from Sennheiser or Shure…

Dale,

 

Yes, it has a standard connector.

​Hi Jill,

Does you​r Sennheiser headset have a non-standard connector (one that screws into the transmitter/receiver?)   It's nice that mine stays plugged in, but it was a real pain when a wire broke in the cable and I had to do major surgery rather than simply replacing it with a standard connector.

Regarding the Sennheiser:

Headpiece:  ME3-ew
Belt pack and receiver:  ew 100 G3

I like the headpiece because it stays in place, the sound quality of the system is excellent and I have never had a problem with it in 8 -10 years.

Also, I recently purchased a "Compact Powered PA System" by the name of SRM 150.  It weighs  maybe 10 pounds, I can lift it with one finger, and the one speaker sounds great and fills a big room.
