Clarity and versatilityWe are a 3 piece band. A family band. My daughter is 15, she’s got a nice contralto going without too much power. My son, 13, is adjusting from his voice change, he went from an alto to a unsettled baritone. Lots of power, though, and perfect pitch. As for me, I am a bass who can go pretty high. We do the range of songs, from Obladi-Oblada to Fly me to the moon, from classic rock to classic jazz. Some we scream, some we whisper. Also, we do not have a microphone dedicated to one person. This is because we each play 4 or 5 or 6 instruments and we keep switching. Almost every song has a different set up. Sometimes we sing lead, sometimes back up, depending.Ok, so now that you understand the situation, I need to say that I bought just one of those seinheiser. I wanted to try it and replace the old EV 967 I believe is their number that we had. We loved the EV. We put them through the Bose L2 system. It has a tune controller. That little controller helps a lot to define the hardware you plug into it. That was for the EV. So I tried the Seinheiser. It shines through it. It is so clear, so vibrant, so accurate. We are studying blending, dynamics, articulations, harmonies. We can hear everything. The Seinheiser project every little details. So, I bought 3 more of the Seinheiser e935. One on the drums, one on the bass, one on the guitar and one on the keyboard. They are all adjusted the same: same volume, same eq, same trim, same reverb. We love them.Also, they are heavy. They feel like good craftsmanship. My children are careful with the gear in general, but, still, they’re kids, and adult size, and clumsy. Those microphone haven’t moved. They stay with the same qualities. They’ve been dropped, bumped, slapped a few times. They’re still going strong. We do three rehearsal per week. It has been a blast, these Seinheiser have helped a lot. It forces to be aware of what we sing. No muddy sound here. Just plain music when we can manage it.

Do Your Research Before Purchasing!Overall, I really liked this mic. As a soprano, it captured my voice very well. However, I was not aware that you needed to have an interface with matching impedance to get the best sound quality. The impedance is how much power is being put back into the interface by the mic itself. If the impedance of the mic is higher than the interface, it can override the system and cause feedback. I only found this out the day my delivery was set to arrive. So, my recommendation would be to be sure to have an interface that is higher or on the same level as the mic that you connect it to. I am currently using the Forsurite Scarlett 3rd Gen which is 200 ohms, but this mic is 350 ohms. As a result, the interface cannot handle the mic well at all. However, if you have the right interface, I am sure this mic would work fine. I am getting a Shure 55sh II Gen instead. It is the same price and has slightly lower range than the Sennheiser but it has an impedance of 150 ohms, which is perfect. I usually don’t write reviews on products, but I felt the need to write one so that people don’t waste time and money like I did. If you have the right interface, I am sure that this mic would work fine for you! Thank you! ☺️

Shure SM58 and Beta 58A Killer!I’ve been using Shure mics for years– including the classic SM57, SM58, and Beta 58A. This Sennheiser e935b mic wasn’t on my radar at all until I saw it was on sale (bringing the price down to that of a new Shure SM58, and cheaper than a Beta 58A).This mic is absolutely amazing. It beats the SM58 easily and even sounds clearer and better than the Beta 58A (which I think is a better vocal mic than the SM58). The Sennheiser e935 nearly sounds as good as my Rode large-frame condenser and yet is more focused (unidirectional) and doesn’t require phantom power or a pop filter).The key with the Sennheiser e935 is that it doesn’t sound as dark or muddy as the Shures. The Sennheiser e935 is so clear that you hear so much more detail. Excellent frequency response too. Highs and lows both sound good, and it feels flat and balanced.I’m really stunned with how good this mic sounds. I will keep the Shure SM57 for some drum and instrument work, but the Sennheiser e935 is hands-down my new favorite mic. Wow, just wow!

Just WOW!Lifelong vocalist / guitarist. I have fronted more than a few bands. My current (and last band) have all been using various mics since we got together about 6 months ago. My go to for years has been the indestructible Shure SM 58 Beta, and we had a Shure SM 58 and an EV something and a cheap Audio Technica (drummers…sheesh). I’ve had my beta for 12 years or more. I swear by em’. Well now let’s just say… I swore by em. I was on a band forum online and the microphone debate came up. 80% of the musicians argued this mic was the one to have. I am an old dog, but am open to new tricks. I bought one. It says refurbished or returned and I got it for 129.00 Looks absolutely brand new to my eyes. I took it to rehearsal 2 weeks ago. I plugged it in along side my trusty beta and sang a few bars into each acapella…… WOW. So much clarity and crispness from this Sennheiser. I have read reviews here that state that these sound bright or even tinny……. well adjust your EQ and you will be amazed. We did have to redial my mix a bit, but once we did the difference was so noticeable that our lead guitarist ordered one that very evening. My trusty Beta is now in my gig bag as back up. I am betting I will never need it. Sorry Shure….it was fun while it lasted.

Great Quality for Middle Range, High Range Vocalists, Minimal FeedbackI’m a mezzo soprano vocalist in a metal band that features two guitarists and one bassist who likes to play LOUD. I sing clean vocals, and have to be heard over all of the guys’ noisyness. This mic does the job really well. I rarely get feedback with this mic — in fact, this mic is actually lot nicer than most of the mics at the venues that we play at, so I oftentimes will bring it with me and swap theirs out.Really good sound, very rich quality and it does pick up the high notes well when I have to hit them. Really glad I purchased this as my first professional mic, I am sure I will get a lot of use out of it before I get a new one. Only one gripe is that it doesn’t have an on/off switch, but I got used to that pretty quickly.EDIT: After using this at a bunch of different venues, I will say that this mic will pick up the snare and on my drummer’s kit if I am directly in front of him, which can be a little challenging for sound. That’s my only criticism.

You cannot go wrong with the e935After 30 years of using SM58 mics, it was time to try something else. The Sennheiser mic had high reviews. After receiving it and using it on a gig, I was blown away by the improved gain, clarity, and tone it had over the SM58. With the higher gain, though, came some subtle “pops” while singing certain words with the letter “P” and “B”. But, it was very forgiving and I just made some adjustments to how I “tuned” the mic (EQ & volume settings at the mixer) and how I “cued” the mic (position and proximity of mic to my mouth). Once this was figured out, the mic sounded even more amazing! I would highly recommend it. It has great frequency response, gain, clarity, feels well-built and comfortable in the hand, and has an even gain pattern all around the mic. It’s, also, a very attractive mic with the satin black body and metallic blue windscreen. All for under $200. In my opinion, you cannot go wrong with the Sennheiser e935.

Absolutely amazing mic!I was one of the many that have switched from the SM58 to the e935. Used the SM58 for the last 20+ years. This thing is crystal clear and incredibly sensitive. I have a low voice, and this just brings out full, clear sound. Definitely happy I’ve switched.**Update** gigged with this mic for the first time tonight… I’ve never used a mic that has as natural of a sound as this one! If you’re on the fence about this mic, just get it.. you won’t be disappointed!

Spend the money!Much better tone than the 835. Top end is more airy and the overall tone is much more full and round. Spend the money!

Why did I wait so long to make the switch?!Why didn’t I purchase this mic sooner?!I’ve been a working musician with a Full Motown Funk Jazz band as well as an Acoustic Duo for the past 8 years. I’ve always used the Shure SM 58, it started out great but over time I’ve had to CRANK up my volume in order to be heard and my tone was just overall muffled.I ordered this Sennheiser e935 mic, didn’t even test it out, I just brought it right to my next gig, plugged it in and prayed 🙂 The difference in clarity is unbelievable. I don’t know why it took me so long to make the switch but I’ll definitely be purchasing Sennheiser mic’s from now on!The other reviews on here are what sold me. So thank you to all of you who took the time to share why you loved it so much too!
