Handheld mic advice - Contra Callers

12 Apr 2018

Hi,
I need some advice. My wireless mic (Shure PGx2) has finally died - a problem with the
on/off switch. I sent it to Shure but they said it was was too old to repair. Rather than
buying through a cheap online site like I did last time, which might be why it seems to
have broken and gone out of date so quickly, I went to the Shure website to look at new
ones. Two that seem to look a lot like my old one are below. Can anyone recommend which
might be better for calling, or another handheld wireless mic that you’d recommend more?
