The E-mic wireless headset I purchased arrived earlier than estimated and was packaged appropriately. It was purchased to be compatible with an Audio-Technica system which is an entry level mic system. The E-mic gives me superior sound quality, and is more comfortable, attractive and secure than the original AT headset that comes with the system. The price however is more than double. That financial sting was amplified when I discovered that although the connector of this particular headset can be specified to fit various brands, there was a $15 upcharge if you selected Audio-Technica. That was enough to take my satisfaction level down a star.
