Used with the Sennheiser transmitter this mike is the best there is for interviews. It is shock mounted so you can't hear handling noise. It has a clear sound. It minimizes sound in crowded rooms and the intended speaker is clear as a bell. It is built as solid as a rock.

Used these mics for stand up interviews most of my career. These are extremely reliable, workhorse. If you need a microphone for television stand ups or stand up interviews, look no further.

Solid performer. Basic and functional.

The re50 looks like a solid hand mic and that is exactly what it is. I am using it as my main mic when shooting as a single person crew. It's range is really good and just sounds crisp. If you need a eng hand mic this it.

I used this microphone on a daily basis in my many years in broadcast news. When I moved into government, the first thing I did was to order one of these mics, because of its durability and that the sound is and always has been crystal clear and true to the original voice.

I know nothing about mics and was considering getting different types of mics especially on a budget. I went on the red carpet worried that I was going to have to put the mic so close to my interviewee but I was wrong. The mic was great , the sound came out great and I have no regrets.

Great ENG Mic! I shot an interview using this mic in a very crowded room. I was astonished by how clear the recordings were. The background noise was still present but was at a much lower level than I expected.

I used this for some red carpet interviews and the sound quality was incredibly! It focused just on the interviewe and all of hte background voices (which there were a lot of) were at a very low hum. It went above and beyond my expectations.

Just what was needed.

I use this microphone daily for news gathering. This is a very durable microphone, the only reason we ever have to by new RE50s is due to the paint chipping off. These microphones have been dropped, kicked, covered in mud, and still keep working.

As promised, this mic has remarkably little handling noise. Great when working with a less experienced on-air person. The tonal quality could be better but I knew that before purchasing it.
