How far down does the mic boom go? I like to wear my headsets around my neck sometimes, so I want to know the farthest angle the mic boom will go.

The pc320 is perfect for that. The mic swivels to a little over 90° so you'll have ample room if you put the cans around your neck.

The boom goes down a fair way; I actually do the same thing from time to time. This headset has been the best one I have owned thus far for just wearing around the neck.

The MIC has approximately a 135 degree range of motion, from full vertical (up alongside the headset, out of the way, for listening only) and then down past 90 degrees to at least another 45 degrees. I tried wearing it like the CSGO gamers at Dreamhack with the headset around my neck and the MIC is in the perfect spot for talking. Still using it after 18 months, no issues.

it actually works pretty good. 20 feet isn't that far for even your stock mic to pic that up.. This mic def will get better sound,, and for the price it, its worth it..

The headband can be removed from the mic. (I would suggest trying to buy just the headband part separately instead of buying a whole headset). I don't know what a boom is but the end part does move if that's what you're asking.

Very comfortable. I have a pretty big noggin so switch ears on long calls every 10-15 minutes. Haven't tried to fold back so doesn't go over top of head but 95% certain it wouldn't work out. Main reason is that the boom only spins about 240 degrees, ie, if headband at base of your neck, the mic would be at your eyeball.

you would need to lean in to it. this mic is a low impedance unit. if you are going to rest your arms on the desk put the mic close to one of your elbows, or between your hand and your elbow. that distance would be good. any further than that would be "off Mike".

The near field Mic that snaps out of the headset still sounds far away. If you call Polk and ask for the tech department they will send you a boom Mic cable that works great

The microphone does not necessarily fall away. There's only 7 inches between the right earbud and the mic, and 3.5 inches to the central joiner. Also, when laying down the left earbud wire (and wire to the phone) helps create some friction against your body, so more surface area, less movement overall. This principal should apply to any set of earbuds. When I lay down the mic stays on my chest. If I move around a lot then the microphone "might" move up toward my neck. But with only 7 inches it can't go far; definitely never falls to my side. Finally, a clip is included so the wire can be anchored to your shirt, and with that the mic is definitely not going anywhere. The microphone does not necessarily fall away.

This boom is a BEAST! My guess is that if you are using an iPhone for an overhead video shoot, the size and weight of this boom might be a bit too much.Also, I have a difficult time keeping the rotation correct with a microphone - so you may have a challenge getting the angle you want with your iPhone - might take some engineering.

I ended up getting a extension cord for my mic, I think I picked it up from Radio Shack. The extension cord I got will not get you out 5m tho, maybe you can find a longer one or make your own. What I do for longer distance videos is to use a remote voice recorder on my person using this mic and then sync the tracks back together during editing. Works great.

As an addendum to my first answer, I use the mic stands fully extended straight up. I do not use the stands in a "studio boom mic" configuration as shown in the advertisement. I have to have the mics as high up as possible to minimize audience noise. I hope this helps. Best wishes.

Hello, I use the mic to video football games on the sidelines. I always had the mic on but tried with it in normal position and extended range. I can pick up a lot more action (voices of players and coaches) in the extended mode. It does make a difference. I never turned it off before.

Lori,The Headset microphone can be pushed all the way up when your not using it. Best headset I've ever used

The XLR cable will not run through the boom pole. You will need to secure the cable. The pole screws onto the mic clip and extends but nothing more than that.

There are two types of mike. The boom, and just a mike on the end of a wire. The boom has Velcro an should attach to your helmet between the main padding and the liner. I tried this on my half helmet and it worked ok. The other mike also has Velcro on the back. I fed it into the strap on my half so that it rests below my ear so it can pick up the vibrations when I talk. This works well, but it taks some adjusting. And sometimes I just hold my hand over the strap while talking. While tucked in between the leather of my strap, the mike is shielded from the wind but picks up my voice well. For my full face, I just used the small mike and velcro'd it to the inside of the chin guard. There are two types of mike. The boom, and just a mike on the end of a wire.

Hi as I live in Melbourne Australia I picked up a boom stand available here called "AMS" and it suits the mic well. I think any good quality boom mic stand will work.

The shock mount only works with rode microphones... Had to find that out the hard way :(
