Head-worn fitness type microphone, high quality, for repairThis is a high quality headset mic costing at least 100 new. I can’t recall the make (it might have been ‘A-Mic’ or something like that) but there are a few brands using this frame, which is very robust and practical. The mic looks like it’s on the end of a proper gooseneck. Unfortunately there’s no signal from it.The fix will involve using a hot knife or maybe solvent to slice open the mic assembly and (unless it’s a connection, which is quite possible with such headsets) replacing the electret element. The cheap electrets are very inexpensive and one of these could be used for temporary testing. It’s not that hard a job in my opinion, and I’d do it myself except that the project I actually obtained this headset for has had to be abandoned.
The connector is a TA3F, fairly standard (not that there is any meaningful standards nowadays, but that’s another issue). For all I know it could be a non-standard or broken connection at the plug end but it would be unwise to rely on this.The headset is very light but to prevent damage it will have to be sent in a box, as a parcel.
