<<What I look for in pro-ish gear is:

SPL limit >=3D 140dB
S/N =3D> 80dB +/- 10 (higher is better)
Self Noise <=3D 15dB +/- 10 (A weighted / lower is better)
Response =3D 20Hz-20kHz

But that's kind of a tall order in some cases. >>

It's an unfortunate fact of physics that miniature mic diaphragms
simply can't achieve the signal to noise specs of larger diaphragms,
so any binaural rig that is head worn is fated to a poorer noise
performance than other methods can provide.
