The Shure WL185 lavalier style microphone is a standard in the audio/visual and live presentation industry. The WL185 is the cardioid pattern version of Shure's WL series microphones made for their various wireless lavalier belt packs. The cardioid pattern has enough rejection to avoid excessive feedback, and also allows for voice pickup when turning your head from side to side. The WL184 super-cardioid pattern version has a narrow pickup pattern and your voice will somewhat disappear when your head is turned away from the microphone. The WL183 version of this microphone is the omni-directional pattern and this type of microphone picks up sound very well, but is also prone to feedback without EQ cuts at the mixing board. If you are buying a Shure wireless system for public speaking, I would suggest getting the WL185 microphone capsule over the other WL models. Each microphone element is interchangeable with the Shure housing and cable and can be swapped by unscrewing the element itself and switching to another element if desired.Read full review
The Shure WL-185 surely has to be one of the best lav microphones in its class. Well built, working well, great easy of use and amazing sound quality.

Good mic, nice quality, good tone. If you're looking for something that rejects feedback/ambient noise this one does an okay job. The 184 does better, but if you're looking into lavs like this you probably already knew that.
