Featuring a cardioid pickup pattern for superior noise isolation, a durable break-resistant cable, and a secure, comfortable fit, it connects via a 3-pin XLR with a detachable belt clip. Ideal for hands-free, high-quality voice pickup in demanding environments without the need for batteries or phantom power. ## Description The cardioid (unidirectional) pickup pattern provides greater gain-before-feedback and isolation from ambient noise and other unwanted sound sources. A carefully shaped frequency response includes a voice-frequency presence peak and a low-frequency roll-off to compensate for the proximity effect inherent in cardioid mics during close-talk operation. Review: I take issue with... - I have serious issues with reviewers who assume because a product is not right for them that it is not right for anyone. I play drums in a classic rock band and Cajon and percussion in a small trio. I also set up and run both outfits PA system. I was tired of being anchored to a mic and boom in both situations and decided to go with the Shure WH20XLR. First of all the attached wire is not designed to plug directly into a mixer or amp. It is made to be routed and clipped to a belt or pocket where a standard XLR cable is attached. The flexible wire on the mic is not made to run to the mixer. I run the wire inside my shirt, loop it around a belt loop and plug in the mixer cable. Problem solved. I installed an XLR plug with built in rotary on/off switch on my mic cable to mute the mic. This is a dynamic mic! No phantom power or battery. It is a full size XLR connector. The are other versions of this for wireless and computer use ( the last 3 letters in the model designate which is which.) when plugged into a mixer or PA the sound level is more than sufficient. I don't know about a low to high impedance adapter into a guitar amp or other Hi Z inputs. It works great into our Behringer mixer. Just bump the gain a little. I have used an SM58 and SM57 for years and can state that this mic with just a small cut in mid and a small boost in low rocks. Every bit as clean as the SMs and no hassling with stands and booms. I've used it for numerous shows and it was a bit uncomfortable at first but once fitted properly it disappears. This mic is about $10 cheaper than an SM58 no switch version, so it's not a lot cheaper, just different tech. I love it, both bands love it and the audience loves it. I wouldn't record with it, but I probably would use a condenser on a stand or boom for vocals anyway. I hate to see good products trashed because folks don't read the descriptions or do any research. It may not be for everyone, that's why there are choices. And the reviews that make it clear that the reviewer has no idea what they are doing are the worst. Used as designed this is an excellent choice for a musician looking to get out from behind a mic stand or a drummer or KB player who wants to ditch the mic stand. I don't need wireless so this wired version is perfect. My SMs and mic stands stay at home. Any piece of gear can be defective or fail during use. That doesn't make it junk. Just electronics. It is astonishing how some folks love and use the mic with no issues and others can't get it to work or sound good. I prefer Zildjian cymbals to Sabian or Paiste but I don't trash those quality products. I do the companies a favor and don't buy them. I'd highly recommend this mic. It's worked perfectly for me. Review: Excellent mic at a great price - This headset mic delivered all that is promised and works even better than expected. I use this mic for DJ and karaoke shows in bars and and other venues. I use 4 wireless Vocopro hand mics along with this WH20 xlr. I use a basic xlr transmitter/receiver unit to make it wireless. I run them all through an Allen-Heath mixer. The unit is more quiet than my handhelds but is easily corrected by increasing the line gain. Due to the smaller magnet some of the richness is also missing. However this too can be corrected by changing your eq settings on that channel. Overall, this mic gives a great sound rather speaking or singing. It delivers crisp clean sound that I would recommend to most anyone. ## Features - WH20XLR: Male 3-pin XLR connector with detachable belt clip - Lightweight wireframe and elastic headband adjust for a secure, comfortable fit - Extra-strong, small-diameter attached microphone cable resists breakage - Collapsible microphone boom for easy storage and transportation - Smooth, natural frequency response comparable to high-quality dynamic hand-held vocal microphones - High input clipping level eliminates overload distortion - Reliable at temperature and humidity extremes - Supplied foam windscreen and clothing clip - The Shure WH20 is a rugged, lightweight, dynamic headset microphone that provides high-quality voice pickup - It fits securely for active microphone users, such as aerobics instructors and musicians, with low visibility for stage appearances ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0001DBZNM | | Antenna Location | Singing | | Audible Noise | 78 Decibels | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,672 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #39 in Vocal Dynamic Microphones | | Brand | Shure | | Built-In Media | Headset Band, Headset Microphone Windscreen and Clothing Clip | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Headphone, Speaker, Headphone | | Connectivity Technology | XLR | | Connector Type | XLR | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (730) | | Enclosure Material | Foam | | Frequency Response | 20 KHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00042406066044 | | Item Dimensions | 7.7 x 6.4 x 3.2 inches | | Item Type Name | Instrument Condenser Microphone | | Item Weight | 0.7 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Shure | | Mfr Part Number | WH20XLR | | Microphone Form Factor | Microphone Only | | Model Name | WH20 Headset Mic | | Model Number | WH20XLR | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required. | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Unidirectional | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 78 dB | | Special Feature | Clip | | UPC | 042406066044 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 years | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Shure - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Headphone, Speaker, Headphone - **Connectivity Technology:** XLR - **Connector Type:** XLR - **Included Components:** Headset Band, Headset Microphone Windscreen and Clothing Clip - **Model Name:** WH20 Headset Mic - **Polar Pattern:** Unidirectional - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Singing - **Special Feature:** Clip ## Images ![Shure WH20 Dynamic Headset Microphone (Wired) - Rugged, Lightweight, Secure Fit for Active Mic Users, for Instructors/Musicians, 3-pin Male XLR Connector with Detachable Belt Clip (WH20XLR) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41QW-A5UjJL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I take issue with... *by A***R on June 20, 2017* I have serious issues with reviewers who assume because a product is not right for them that it is not right for anyone.

I have had this mike almost two years and it has been great. I will admit the wire placement took some getting used to, as it comes off the right side and either must go down or behind the ear - a bit of conflict with the headset. And I have never figured out the black strap on the back. But aside from all that it’s perfectly functional and I don’t notice it while Im playing/singing. Sound is fine. For me, it has worked well the past few years. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shure WH20 Dynamic Headset Microphone (Wired) - Rugged, Lightweight, Secure Fit for Active Mic Users, for Instructors/Musicians, 3-pin Male XLR Connector with Detachable Belt Clip (WH20XLR) - Hosa GMS-274 Microphone Power Switch, XLR3F to XLR3M Silver 10 x 1 x 4 inches - Amazon Basics XLR Microphone Cable for Speaker or PA System, All Copper Conductors, 6MM PVC Jacket, 25 Foot, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/1771351-shure-wh20-dynamic-headset-microphone-wired-rugged-lightweight-secure-fit](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/1771351-shure-wh20-dynamic-headset-microphone-wired-rugged-lightweight-secure-fit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
