The Sennheiser E835 is a fantastic mid-range dynamic mic. I own a few and use them on live vocals cutting through a band, speech for awards shows, as well as 'emergency' tom-tom mics in a recording environment! They have excellent feedback rejection and a good warm tone.

Solid feel; excellent feedback rejection; low handling noise

None so far

I tested the Audix OM2, the Shure SM58, and the Sennheiser e835 as all were in my price range. I loved the sound of this mic. It was rich, bright, and was not dry like the SM58. I ended up buying the Audix for my Karaoke Business (given the drunk nature of karaoke-ers!

Rich Warm Crisp Sound; Light.

None

I have been using this mic for about 5 months and, I own sm58's but, I have to say that I usually go to this mic for my performance. When we setup I get both mics out and, plug them both in to my mic cable and, the e835 wins.

The Sennheiser E835 is the same price and has much more versatility and smart design.

Great Sennheiser quality at really low price Wider frequencyrange than SHURESM58 Indestructible Sleak design

Bass feature can make bass little floppy says www.humanbeatbox.com; they hit low beats though

These are really solid microphones at a great price, and if you ever do events with other groups its great to have these because most others have shure mics so you have no problem with what belongs to who.

Clear Sound

I've used SM58s my entire live sound career. They are still the standard just about anywhere I go. But, when I've had the opportunity to use this Sennheiser mic, I'm reminded how much I prefer it over the SM 58.

Sound quality; durability

Not popular enough

Dynamic vocal microphone (hyper) cardioid. is not nothing else, on pain of being disappointed. OVERALL OPINION

I'm not looking for broadcast quality audio, but I want good, smooth clear audio on HF. For the past few years I've used a Heil Goldline, and while it's a definite improvement over the stock mic it still didn't have that clarity I wanted.

Amazing microphone for the price. No other mic suits my voice as well. Nice and warm sounding with plenty of detail. Less of a proximity effect than a SM57 though much more detailed and better sounding overall. More sensitive than a Rode M1 and not quite as flat sounding.

PRO: Affordable and powerful; comes from a reputable brand; very high quality

CON: Price may be out of reach for some musicians
