Clarity. The headmounted mics, with the cable over the back, is less
likely to be caught or brushed against, and being positioned on the head
it is very clear.

I've not come across people not wanting to wear them - I've tried them
and found them quite comfortable, and they're so light you forget about
them after a few minutes. The only issue I have seen was the odd beard
being in the way - but most beards are fine. Even still, clearer than
the lapel mounted mic.

This mic has the transmitter built into the base of it. Its just one
stick to pass around - instead of the tethered (wired) mic we use now. :)
