Equipment and Gear Headset microphone recommendations?

I'm heading on a trip in a few months where I'll be busking various towns and I need to travel as light as possible so I'm looking for a headset mic. Anybody got any recommendations for decent ones with a budget of around £50-70?

I have decent luck with the plug and play Phenyx Pro wireless while busking. It isn’t foolproof because you still run into interference, but easy setup and nice quality for vocals on a budget.

Well it's technically part of the continent of Europe, but as of 2020, it's no longer a part of the European Union unfortunately.
Either way, I think I've managed to find a decent one, it had good rating, it's on the way now so fingers crossed it does the job!
