However if you use any form of omnidirectional mic, either head-worn or a lavalier otherwise attached to the body, that will pick up external sounds of the body well. Some people tape tiny lav mics at the top of the hairline (to make it as invisible as possible), but if clothes are worn, they can be hidden pretty much anywhere. The best wireless systems seem to be AKG, Samson, Sennheiser, and Audio-Technica, but there are loads of them out there at all price ranges. From a practical perspective, if you're working in a theatrical situation, I would recommend a FULL DIVERSITY system rather than a single channel system, and, if you can afford it, a UHF system rather than a VHF system.
