ZOWEETEK ZW-Z258 Portable Rechargeable Mini Voice Amplifier for Teachers with Wired Microphone Headset and Waistband,Supports MP3 Format Audio for Speech, Class, Training,Tour Guide,Power Amplifiers

I’m really impressed with this wireless Bluetooth speaker! The sound is clear and powerful, with surprisingly good bass for its size. It’s super easy to connect to my phone, and the battery lasts for hours, perfect for outdoor gatherings or just relaxing at home.The compact and lightweight design makes it easy to carry anywhere, and the build feels sturdy and durable. Whether I’m listening to music, podcasts, or taking calls, this speaker delivers great performance every time.Highly recommend it if you want a reliable, portable speaker with excellent sound quality!

Best bang for your buck if you’re an educator! I use it everyday when teaching. When I’m not speaking I move the mic arm away from my mouth and turn it off to extend battery life for that charge but leave it on my body for quick access to click on again. I wear mine like a belt and find the least amount of cord issues with it like this. I get headaches from tight headbands and headphones so I actually wear the headset around my neck and angle my mic accordingly and it still works like a charm (as seen in photos)! Sound quality and volume control has been excellent, even in a noisy or large room.I’ve thought about buying the wireless headset and plug from this ZOWEETEK brand to go with the speaker, but I’ve held off as it seems the witless headset battery is quite a bit smaller and wouldn’t fit my needs as well. I don’t mind being wired in though sometimes, due to being so short, I have to finesse the cord so feedback doesn’t occur. However it’s not too much of a hassle to worry about. The mic helps project my voice through my mask it without any issues. I keep my mic on the outside of my mask but it could certainly be tucked inside if that is comfortable for you. If you don’t wear one then your voice will sound even louder and crisper than it does with a mask on.I use this little mic and speaker combo pretty much all day every day in the classroom. I leave it in the room to charge overnight and it’s always ready to go the next the day for class. There have been only a handful of times it’s “died” during teaching (you can tell the battery is low by how the sound quality and overall power of the audio changes). I believe this was due to it getting bumped by custodial staff in the night and the charging cord loosening. When this has happened I just take it off, plug it in and leave it alone for 20-30 minutes. This usually charges it up enough for me to get through the remainder of the day or get me until plan time when I can charge it for longer but again this has rarely had to be done. Otherwise, I’ve never had any issues with it. It saves my voice on the regular.One week due to horrid allergies and multiple other speaking/singing/family gatherings on the weekend, I lost my voice almost completely. Thankfully I was still able to teach my Kinders thanks to this mic being powerful enough to pick up what little voice I still had left without straining it more. I use this mic for pretty much everything, even used it at field day, which was amazing (lots of compliments and admiration from parent volunteers who wished they had a mic that day)!I’m a substitute who specializes in longterm assignments. Last year I was with a group of Kinders for 7 1/2 months and I used this everyday. It allows me to avoid straining my voice and helps me not become a “yeller” teacher, which I can’t stand and don’t want to be! I do not feel that benefits anyones learning experiences and it can easily impact a room/environment negatively if one is not careful. To avoid that, I use my mic! Also, this setup is so much better than the old teardrop Bluetooth mics the district I work in has where the speakers are in the ceiling. I can even use this mic in the hallway, gym, outside, and any other number of locations it might come in handy (see photos). I will be bringing this with me in my teacher go bag for all my future day-to-day assignments until my next long-term comes up. I will continue to use it when I get my own classroom in the future, as well!If you’re an educator looking for a great quality mic, that lasts all day on a full charge with wise usage, saves your voice, is portable, and doesn’t cost a crazy amount then I would strongly encourage you to give this one a try! Happy leading, serving, teaching and growing. :)(purchased November 2021- reviewed July 2022)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Sound quality is average

I used this when giving a makeup lesson to a group of people that were spread out throughout the room! It made a difference and gave my presentation a professional touch.

IT WORKS & IT'S SIMPLE; GREAT FOR GUITAR, PUT THE MIC BETWEEN MY MOUTH AND THE GUITAR HOLE.

I'm surprised this has so many positive reviews. I have vocal paralysis and my voice barely carries, so I wanted this as an assistive device i would wear throughout the day, but it's not designed for that and it shows.Pros:-Very affordable compared to medical equipment ones which are $200+.-compact.-no delayCons:-to have it at a useful volume i have to keep the speaker at too great a distance from the mic-the mic picks up constant noise at the slightest movement-the charging cable is a few generations of USB out of date so you have to use the included cable unless you kept your phone chargers from 2004-the sound from the speaker is pretty tinny-the instructions say not to use any second party parts including mic and charging cable, meaning they want you to replace any lost or broken parts with their own only, and they don't recommend using a different, better mic

I very much like this microphone and amplifer. I use it 5 days a week to save my classroom voice. I charge it once a week and I use it about 5 hours a day. It does give a little feedback if the microphone gets too close. The strap goes comfortably over my shoulder. I would definitely buy again.
