Sennheiser HSP 2-EW Wired, Wireless Condenser Microphone - Black

The Sennheiser HSP 2-EW is a top-tier, permanently polarized condenser headmic engineered for hands-free operation in demanding professional environments. With its omni-directional pickup pattern, it captures the wearer’s voice with natural clarity while minimizing background noise and handling vibrations. The adjustable neckband sits close to the head for an unobtrusive profile, making it ideal for stage performances, broadcast sets, corporate presentations, and worship venues where comfort and sound quality are critical. This variant, the HSP 2-EW, blends wired reliability with wireless compatibility, giving you flexible deployment options in a single, sleek package.

Designed to fit a wide range of performers, presenters, and entertainers, the HSP 2 family offers twelve variants that vary in color, size, and connector. This breadth ensures the microphone can be tailored to different body types, wardrobe choices, and recording setups, while preserving its signature Sennheiser sound. The EW designation signals seamless integration with Sennheiser Evolution Wireless systems, allowing easy pairing with transmitters and receivers for reliable, wireless operation when needed. Even when used in a wired configuration, the microphone maintains Sennheiser’s renowned low-noise performance and detailed frequency response, delivering consistent results across venues and applications.

Key to its appeal is comfort without compromise. The neckband is engineered to stay in place during extended performances, speeches, or broadcasts, and its low-profile design minimizes visibility under stage lighting and wardrobe. The microphone capsule is mounted to a microflex-style assembly that flexes with movement, helping to preserve articulation and reduce mic pops. When you pair the HSP 2-EW with the appropriate accessories, you gain a versatile microphone that performs reliably from rehearsal to curtain call.

Beyond comfort and sound, the HSP 2-EW is built for durability in busy production environments. The materials are chosen for resilience against daily wear, and the connectors come in variants to suit different setups. The microphone is designed for quick setup and teardown, making it suitable for touring productions, corporate events, and education environments where time is precious. It’s a microphone you can trust to deliver consistent sound, even under intense stage lighting, high crowd noise, and varying acoustic spaces.
