Question ¿ Low Hz Headset microphone ?


¿ Anyone using a Low Hz mic headset as they play guitar and sing &
what are you using/recommend ?

I like the idea of eliminating having to haul a mic stand when I busk .

A friend of mine who busked here in santa Fe used a small lavalier mic clipped to the collar of his shirt. You didn't see the mic and he had his amp hidden in a backpack so he didn't appear to be amplified. But you could hear him over the street noise.

I've started looking around for a headset mic, and found that none of them have XLR connectors on them!
This Shure: https://www.americanmusical.com/Item...-PGA31TQG-LIST has a "TA4F" connector to plug into a wireless transmitter bodypack. Is this also sometimes called a 'mini XLR'? Having a tough time trying to find an adapter that will allow me to use a standard XLR cable with it.
I think this might be it, but I'm not sure: https://www.alliedelec.com/switchcra...SABEgJ9J_D_BwE

From someone on another forum, it looks like that Shure needs 5vdc supplied by the wireless beltpack. The Sweetwater advisor who got back to me suggested some $80 inline preamp for a Beta mic, won't be asking him for more advise!

So obviously what's needed is a dynamic mic that doesn't need any kind of power supply.
This AT looks to fit the bill, and it gets mostly good reviews, but some bad ones:

Any other choices?

Sometimes use this one... https://www.akg.com/Microphones/Head...nes/C555L.html

with the 9v belt pack. The one shown with this in Acces. has a recording function? Mine is an older version without that. '??'

Anyway, decent sounding and relatively inexpensive.
