Great mic with room to be even better

Samson AirLine 88 Wireless Cardioid Fitness Headset Microphone System (K: 470 to 494 MHz)

Reviewed by Chris on B&H Photo Video

I have used a Samson headset mic for many years as part of my Parrot Show. In recent years I was getting a lot of interference because the frequency was not adjustable. So I recently upgraded to the Airline 88. I no longer have interference issues. I am not thrilled with the new mic boom though as it is shorter than my previous set was, only extending to the corner of my mouth. This leaves me getting a lot of wind noise and limits the volume I can get from this unit. So now I don't get interference from other frequencies, now I have wind noise issues and a lower volume I can achieve with this mic. I would like to have the option to purchase this unit with the previous mic set. That would make for an awesome unit. And it would be nice if they gave me a regular plug instead of that magnet thing that falls off easy. I use the mic every day and I am happy with it but have a few wishes for upgrades. ... More

Almost perfect...

Reviewed by Daniel on B&H Photo Video

The headset is ridiculously simple to use, and the sound quality has made a massive difference in our recording classes. However, the design is a little tough and needs some tweaks...the headset works perfectly for most men and doesn't shift or come close to falling off during even the most intense kickboxing or HIIT style classes. But, people with smaller ears or head sizes (in my case, the majority of my female instructors) do struggle to keep it on. We have to use headbands or bobby pins to assist, which works some of the time, but it seems pretty easy to have some sort of adjustment system in place that is more robust than the current one. The right ear is not weighted down since the mic is on the left side, and proves especially troublesome. It's very nice to forgo the wire as it is truly wireless, but it makes some classes nerve racking as you are waiting for the inevitable headset slip moment. ... More

At least in the short term, I love this mic.

I used the Airline 88 for my Wild West show in a theater setting which included much physical activity as well as singing and speaking. It worked as advertised and was very comfortable and stable on my head as well as easy to charge and sounded great. B& H Photo had the mic to me in Idaho the next day as promised. I was very pleased with the service and with the product. If the 88 can hold up to summer time use it will be the Best Buy I have ever made.

Great Mike and Headset but G & H made it the best

The headset is everything I needed. Affordable, customizable fit, super easy to set up and use. I love it and wish I found it long long ago. B&H had it to me within 2 days! They followed up with many emails and check-ins to be sure I received it, knew how to use it and knew that I could call them any time for help if I needed to. The entire experience was excellent and I am not a definite client of B& H for my future needs.

Performs well except for recharging the headset.

Reviewed by William on B&H Photo Video

We have been using this for a few months now, and our main issue is the magnetic charging plug that comes off with very little effort while charging. Otherwise the unit works as advertised. I am not aware of any other unit in this price range that is better, but I would be reluctant to buy another until a better charging design is implemented in regards to the headset.

The sound quality its great!!! But... this headset is designed for fitness purpose, and it doesn't fit to my head, when i jump it follows, and doesn't stay on place. I have 2 weeks with it and i can't use it because im not find a way to hold it on the head yet. :(

Not suitable for fitness audio

Probably fine for light use, but we have had to have these replaced four times in 5 months. They simply do not hold up to any heavy use at all.
