Hi guys,
You know what it is to have the microphone rotate down from your mouth
on a hot day and it seems to continually slip off your lower lip? I’ve
frustrated over this more of recent and today, without taping the
mic-boom to my face, I found a solution. The double wire that secures
the mouthpiece thru the rotating cap on the plastic ear-piece is held in
compression between a rotating two-piece plastic knob. The split-holes
the wires go thru are wider than the wire so I took a medium to heavy
paper clip, trimmed it to a piece one inch each side beyond the single
180-degree bend radius. The radius was opened so the legs were about
100-degrees and then using pliers, bent 3/8ths inch from the radius each
side to get the wire ends parallel. Then the radius segment was bent to
a 20-degree offset from the straight pieces. The two loose ends were
adjusted for width and forced in along the outside of each of the
microphone wires and pushed thru the shared holes. This provided enough
tension to secure rotation of the mouthpiece. It’s still very
adjustable, but not droopy any more as it puts a reasonable drag between
the plastic knob and the plastic earpiece.
This is about near to nothing as a subject can get, and a less than
expensive headset, but this had gone on long enough.
Anyway, hang in there and keep building,
