Shure
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Shure and Sennheiser have the digital wireless world for live performance locked down, with years of research behind them.
- Sound Devices, Shure and Lectrosonics are below 3 Ms, 2 Ms can be selected on the Shure system, less than 2 on Sound Devices and Nu Hybrid is 1.6 on Lectro.
- If you do take the plunge into pro-wireless, look into other brands like Wisycom, Sound Devices, and Shure.
- Shure and SD do seem like awesome systems.
- Shure has an affordable line and a pro line, both are great.
Cons
- Shure, Westone, Ultimate Ears, those are generally disregarded within audiophile circles because of their tuning choices. The main draw for professionals for these is comfort and durability.
- Shure are great headphones if he wants to use the headphones primarily to Podcast, do home studio recording or similar work. They are pretty meh for listening to music if that is the main reason you are getting him headphones.
- There are tons of imported Shure counterfeits in places like eBay. Don't get stuck with a hunk of junk.
- Everyone's current gen products (Shure, Senny, Lectro, Zax, Q5X, Sound Devices, AudioTechnica, etc) are doing proprietary digital modulation now, except Wisycom.
- you could also use Shure or Sennheiser handlheld mics
