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.

Great mic with room to be even better
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.

Performs well except for recharging the headset.
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.

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.
