Great Microphone Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I had purchased the orignal PR-780 when it first came out and liked it. I could use it without any equalization and it sounded good. I ended up selling the rig it was used for and also sold the Mic. Recently I traded for the newer PR-781. It is shorter, than the 780 but it sounds even better. It sounds so good, as is, that I do not run it through any external audio enhancement gear. If I had to recommend one Mic for someone who just wanted to plug it into his rig and use it as is, this is the mic I would recommend.

Outstanding WOW! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I must say that the Heil PR 781 is much more than I expected. I recieve reports of excellent audio and often asked what microphone I am using. I am proud to say that I am using the Heil PR 781 Microphone with my Icom 756 ProIII. What a great combination this makes. This microphone is well worth the price and I recommend this to anyone seeking good audio quality. Thank You Bob Heil.
Best 73,
Harry

Works well. Thank you Mr. Heil! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Thank you Mr. Heil for a very good microphone, and thank you HRO for your excellent service getting it to me. As respectful as I can be to all who have reviewed this microphone, and all microphones here at Eham, please allow me to express how pleased I am with this mic. Works well with my 756PROIII, 7700, and even my IC910H. With minor adjustments on each transceiver of course.

Also, Bob Heil is a wonderful, friendly, and very helpful man. He answered all my emails, and addressed all my questions promptly before the purchase of this mic. What a great guy.

Thanks and 73 de terry W3QJ

This is the new standard Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I received my PR-781 today and it sounds fantastic. Absolutly studio sounding with well balanced articulation. In combination with my 2000D this is a perfect duo for being on the air. Also average speak power has improved by using this microphone. I would recommend to everyone who is looking for bringing out clear and wide responsed audio.

Fantastic ! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I use with my IC-7700 is simply fantastic.
I passed by an SM-20 to PR-781: greater bandwidth and voice clean and clear.
Strongly recommended!

I bought the Heil PR781 at a Dutch provider and received it in two days notice. I use it with my IC-7700 via my I-mate. I'v got splendid reports about my audio, thanks to the Heil 781 ;-)

Brilliant Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I had this microphone shipped in from the States at the beginning of january to replace the MD100 on my FT-1000MP Mark-V.
What a difference this mic makes. Now I never recieved any bad reports on the MD100, but people that I chat too were just so amazed by the fast improvement in audio quality. They found it hard to believe that I had not altered any settings.
This is one excellent Microphone, and I must thank Bob for such a masterpeice.

Very fine sound Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I bought the PR781 at the HAM-Radio in Friedrichshafen. I use it with my FT-847 in FM (VHF/UHF). QSO-Partners appreciate the pleasing sound of this microphone.

Exceptional sound Time Owned: N.A.
The dynamic mic PR-781 is really one of the best. Professional quality with excellent audio. The cardioid pattern and the wide frequency response makes this microphone best suitable for communications use.
I use it with my IC-7700 and I always get outstanding audio reports.
Electret mics are very sensitive and the omnidirectional pattern is not very good for amateur radio use. They pick up much background noise.
