Best Wireless Headset Microphones For Fitness Instructors

Wireless headset microphones are an ideal tool for public speakers, preachers and lecturers thanks to their ease of use, accurate response and lightweight construction allowing you to roam the stage without having to hold a microphone. They’re also amazing for fitness instructors thanks to the fact you can strap them to your head, hook them over your ears and jump around like crazy, get into those super difficult yoga positions and focus on your fitness routine without worrying about having to hold a microphone. Coupled with a battery powered PA system, you're an unstoppable (and un-ignorable) force of fitness!

Before we begin, you should know that we're going to be talking about channels and frequencies in this blog. Some channels require a licence to use whereas others are licence exempt, so it's wise to familiarise yourself with wireless frequencies quickly before you read on. We covered how channels work in our beginner’s guide to wireless frequencies.

All done? Great!

When you’re in the depths of your spin class, the last thing you need to be worrying about is poor connection to your PA system. If you’re not being heard, your class isn’t getting the best out of their session, so make sure you choose a wireless microphone headset that you can rely on. The Sennheiser XSW 1-ME3-GB Headmic set with ME3 is a great option for those on a budget who need a hardworking, professional piece of kit that ensures a true connection to the PA system at all times.

The dual, integrated antenna system works in conjunction with the Automatic frequency management and synchronization system to pull in a strong signal via the two aerials. This means you have two antennas boosting your signal and ensuring a clear and precise signal between your voice and the PA. two signals at once, selecting the stronger signal at all times. If one antenna can’t pick up the frequency clearly, the other antenna will take over and make sure your voice can still be heard clearly.

The One Touch Synchronisation makes it super simple to get started. Simply connect your receiver to your PA, strap the belt-pack transmitter to your back, hit the Sync button and you’re good to go. They're also one of the best headsets for Zumba instructors thanks to the fact they stay on your head!
