Sennheiser Pro Audio Sennheiser Professional E 835-S Dynamic Cardioid Vocal Microphone with On/Off Switch

This microphone is always reliable. Nice tone, great value for the money.

sennheiser mics are very impressive. This particular one has greatest sensitivity in it's price range. I have problem making people understand that they need to be close to the mic for it to work well, but this one has better gain and at least I have a fighting chance of them being heard. When they do get close, I'm amazed how clean the sound is.

Been using this product for quite a while. Top quality.

I set up a large speaker (Roland KC-550 keyboard amp) for family karaoke night, or for parties.Feedback is an issue handing the mic from person to person. It's nice having an on/off switch so when the thing is being passed around it doesn't make the speaker feedback and squeal.Also Sennheiser e835 mics are just great anyway. They are like the SM-58 but sound better.I would easily recommend this mic for anyone who needs a great sounding dynamic mic but also needs the ability to switch on and off at the mic.

Great sound

I was wanting to love this, but after a month or so with it, I think I'm going to have to fall solidly in the 4 star (like) category (I'd even go 4.5 stars if that was an option). It is a huge upgrade from the cheap Samson mics it replaced, but for live performance, I think I still prefer a SM58 (possibly just because it's a more familiar sound to my ears).However, if you are recording your live performances, I think this is definitely a better mic than a SM58 - it is crisper and more articulate than, and has more high end responsiveness and colors the midrange less than a 58, all of which make for cleaner/clearer vocals on recordings (though for serious recording with a dynamic mic, I suggest you look at mic's up around $200 instead of anything in the $100 mic class, but if your choices are Sm58 and 835 - the 835 is better in my opinion).So there you have it, I like the SM58 better for live performance, and I like this 835 better for recording purposes (and to be fair, I still really like the 835 live, I just happen to like the 58 a touch better).

I compared the E835S to my much more expensive Electrovoice RE-27. The RE-27 costs 5x as much. The differences between the two were minimal. The E835S is a great bargain.

Ihave been using this Mic for some time and it's great durability and gets the job done right excllente for live 100% recomend.
