Love my Heils! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have had both a Pro-set and HM10, both had the "ragchew" element. I run them through the W2IHY equalizer. I get consistent high quality audio reports on both Icom 756Pro and Kenwood 570 rigs. Bob Heil knows what he's doing. The fit and finish are evident of excellent quality control. Any questions about operation have been answered by the man himself. I wish all gear was made and backed so well.

Excellent Audio Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I get great audio reports with this mic using it on Icom and Yaesu radios. The newer models are finished nicer than the older ones a few years back and come with a foam screen for breath blast. I'm very happy with mine.

Adds extra punch Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I purchased the Heil HM10 dual for my Icom IC746. From SSB to FM, I have been told I have nothing less than broadcast audio quality. Switching to the DX element, I have been able to bust through pileups with audio drive alone!
I highly recommend Heil microphones to my ham friends. I have yet to hear a bad Heil mike on the air.
