kpop idols gotta start using more stable headset mics if they're gonna use headsets bc the ones they typically use tend to move away from their faces (which probably doesn't impede functionality most of the time but i've seen them having to constantly readjust the mics) and fall. i'd say maybe they should use theatre-type ones (typically DPA headsets thanks google). i worked with those recently and they can sometimes be a bit fragile, although they're far less likely to fall as they sit on the face. if idols were to use these mics, i would say they should 100% tape them down on the face, neck and tape the wires down as well. and also probably secure the mic packs a little better (from my experience, they stay best if the hook/clamp bit is on the outside and the mic pack is on the inside of the clothes. for female idols i would definitely say to clip it onto a bra and secure the wire with tape because it would be less likely to fall out if the mic pack is closer to the face) AND tape the cord to the thingy so the cord doesn't come off cause that would suck (idk how to explain it there's like the cord to the mic itself (like on headphones kinda) and that cord goes into another thingy that might be an adapter? or just holds it better idk and THAT thingy connects the mic pack and microphone.) they might be more expensive or fragile then the mics they use currently, but i would like to see some companies or groups try them, specifically for concerts.
#idols also could use handheld mics (i think handhelds are better for concerts but some dance focused people might prefer headsets)#i think typically idols who use handhelds are either a) the most vocally stable in their group (3racha before this year kinda)#or b) focus on vocals more than dance (jongho ateez)#i have seen idols use mics that look like DPA headsets#for example kiss of life at the 2023 MMA's where i believe they did sing VERY live#but yeah#for context as to why i'm writing this:#watched a video of taemin's concert (which had amazing concert design) and he was constantly readjusting his headset mic#even when he was speaking he had to adjust it a lot#these issues could also be the fault of the people who put the mics on bc all his issues stopped when he used a handheld#idk#i just think theatre headsets are more stable and tend to produce a better quality sound than the headsets kpop idols typically use#uhhh tags#kpop#concert production#microphones#sound design
