Hand microphones or in-ear microphones?

[Mikasa Ackerman]

Do you prefer when idols perform using hand microphones or using in ear-microphones?

 

[Mikasa Ackerman]

I personally like hand microphones that have different colours. But I think it depends on the choreography. If the choreography is tough and difficult I think it's good to use in-ear mics, and if it doesn't, hand mics are suitable

If there’s a choreography to a song that they perform, then I would mostly prefer in-ear mics because it makes the performances look a bit more professional imo than having at least one member or some of them using a hand mic whilst they’re trying to dance and everyone else is dancing. But if there’s no choreography to a song that they will perform, then I don’t mind them using either microphones

For some reason I feel like idols are more likely to sing live with a hand held mic, so I prefer that.
But if it's unrealistic because of the choreo or something then the in-ear mics are okay too.

i usually prefer in-ear mics with the exception of concerts and vocal or rap heavy performances. hand held mics help vocalists and rappers relay their emotions better bc of how they hold it, you know?

 

[moonlight]

literally depends on the idol and what they prefer and the type of performance they are doing lol

Depends on the group. Mostly 3rd and 2nd gen groups don’t have much choreography going on, so I feel like seeing them stand there with a mic is really nice coz I think it completes the performance. And that’s just the same with any performance that’s completely vocal or rap based. But 4th gen are known for wacky choreographies. So like, with a group such as ITZY, hand held mics for most of their performances would just ruin their performance, as they’d have to focus on the mic instead of the choreo. So in cases like those, in ear is much better

depends..I mean, I'm a sucker when Han uses a microphone but it's not my fav thing.
idk ill just go with in ear

 

[avi ☆]

totally in-ear mics, just cause it's easier to not have to hold something while doing choreo

In ear. in most cases since they have more room with their hands their vocals always sound better than with a microphone..idk mabe im just weird.

I don't mind. It doesn't affect me in anyway.

I like how the microphones have different colours! But also they can move it around freely so their voice is loud enough to be heard. Its suitable for an easy, simple cheoro.

Ear-Microphones, eh no opinion, more hand movements and yeah but I think its good when the cheoro is TOUGH as FUCK.

 

[gyuuop]

in ear, holding a mic for that long is tiring

Hand-held Mics I feel like your singing better from your emotions because the way your holding the mic depends

ima simp for hand mics tho so lol

Personally, I prefer in-ear mics more just because it makes it easier for kpop idols to do the choreography of their songs while singing.
If they are just singing a bside or a song that doesn't require them to dance, then the hand mics are preferable.

i like the creativity u can have w hand held mics so i would prob go w that
also groups that are used to hand held (basically started w them) i prefer hand held 100% like mamamoo

 

[renspace]

I like both. It depends on the type of the performance.

 

[jang_wonyoung]

i prefer in-ear mics just because they look much more professional and it also would be so much easier to do choreo without a mic in your hand. i also imagine that the mic would get really sweaty and gross throughout the performance if using a hand held mic.

 

[jace__2]

[Call_MeRover]

In ear

 

[prettywonyoung]

i like hand cuz there are more colors but in ear is better if they are doing choreo
