Shure SM35 XLR Headset Mic Review / Test (vs. BPHS2, SM58, SM81, U87Ai)

HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/sm35xlr Today I start my dive into head worn microphones that you see on stages for presenters when they don't have a mic in front of their face. This is the Shure SM35 which is an electret condenser mic and it does well with background noise rejection but suffers from a high self noise and a low sensitivity. It does not aggressively roll off all the bass like some headset mics do though.
