What kind of microphone is best for singers?
I'm talking about live performances. Between a wireless handheld mic & and headworn mic. I was watching lots of k & jpop music videos, & it got me wondering why they don't always use the head worn mics. Is it because of lack of control? or something else? or is the handheld mic just a prop?
Most people who use head-set mics are those that need their hands for something else, and need to move around ALOT; example: dancers who sing while dancing. Can't think of any others.
Other than that, almost everyone I've seen use handheld mics either in their hands, or if their hands are busy then on a stand. Control is obviously the most important benefit. You can move away when you yell, to avoid distortion or sudden unpleasantly loud levels; can't do that on headset mic. On the latter, someone could lower the volume for you while you yell, but if you do yell, it'll still distort!
And for people whose hands are really free (like singers who only sing and don't play the guitar, for instance), yes the mic and its stand work as a great prop and help to add charachter to their performance. When they need their hands for any actions or whatever else, they can simply clip the mic on the stand and use it the way it's meant to!
So go for a wireless hand held mic. More versatile at the end of the day.
EDIT:
PS: Do pick up a decent stand with it as well!
