Sennheiser e 835 Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone
Reviewed by Niceman832282 on Guitar Center
I purchased the Sennheiser E835 6 months ago. I run it with a Phonic EQ, and old Peavey Mixer. This mic has held up to all of my bands practice sessions and through all of our shows. It has been dropped, stuffed in the bottem of the gear bag, thrown, spun, kicked and spit on and it still works just as new (aside a few scratches). When comparing it to the Shure SM58, my Sennheiser picks up the screaming portion of my vocals with a near perfect sound. I have used this mic in recording as well, everything came out clear. Granted a condencer mic would be a better tool for recording i think. This is a worthy front man mic. Durable, reliable and definitely worth it's money. ... More
Buy these mics
Sennheiser e 835 Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone 3-Pack
Reviewed by Rocky on Guitar Center
This mic pack is good in many ways.To start,the sound.Tight bass,smooth highs,the frequency is in the range of vocals.These mics have very high gain before feedback,and a super-cardioid pattern to make it even more feedback resistant.I dont believe Sm58's have a super-cardiod pattern.The price is a steal on these.Normally $99 each.The pack saves you $80 if you bought 3 of these seperately,or 3 sm58s seperately.How could you turn this pack down?
Outperfoms the venerable '58

Reviewed by Tom on Guitar Center
I hadn't realised how dated the SM58 was until I tried this one. The 58 was designed in the days when mike inputs were transformer based, and doesn't seem to work quite as well into modern inputs with slightly higher impedances. This sennheiser is excellent. Robust, with a great pickup and low handling noise. I can use it for closeup vocals or at a handspan's distance for speech. A great all rounder for my purposes. The '58 is firmly relegated to backup.
The New Industry Standard

Reviewed by Alan Lebov on Guitar Center
Well, for those who say this microphone isn't as good as a Shure SM58, you're right. It's much better. Warmer, clearer, larger sweet spot, more output before feedback. I don't understand the reviews describing this mic as muddy. I had it side by side with an SM58 plugged directly into a JBL EON with flat EQ. I tried the SM58 first then the e835. It was like wiping the fog off of a window. Suddenly I could "see" what I was missing in the aural spectrum. I haven't been this excited about a microphone in a long time! I put my SM58 on Craigslist about 2 hours after buying one of these. Don't hesitate. This is the new industry standard. ... More
Very good sound for a good price
Sennheiser e 835 Cardioid Handheld Dynamic Microphone
Reviewed by Patrick on B&H Photo Video
I'm using this microphone to record my voice for audio lectures. I'm doing the recording at my desk in my office, which is why I selected a dynamic mic rather than a condenser (to reject ambient noises). The recordings sound great and very clear. I think it reproduces my voice very accurately, or at least it does so better than some less expensive lavalier condenser mics I've used in the past.For those looking to do something similar, I'm using the Zoom H5 as an audio interface running directly into my computer on USB bus power (no batteries or SD card needed). The H5 preamps are strong enough for this mic, even though it's dynamic. The results sound very good to my ear. I am very happy with this mic. ... More

A worthy risk
Sennheiser e 835 Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone
Reviewed by Ellen Samuelson on Guitar Center
I went into Guitar Center not too long ago to buy a Shure SM58. After talking with the sales guy, he recommended this mic as it had a wider range than the 58. Before this, I had an irrational dislike of Sennheiser. However, given the nature of my vocal style, I decided that maybe the 835 was a better investment than a 58. And I will say that it definitely has been so far. It accentuates the grit of my screams and growls, and conversely responds incredibly smooth to sung lines. Truly, I like this mic so much already, that I want to record with it and take it wherever I play live. Highly recommended for metal vocalists. ... More
I choose it over the sm58
Sennheiser e 835 Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone
Reviewed by Brian McAlpine on Guitar Center
First of all, I like the sm58. I give it a high rating also. It has a presence that makes me feel confident to sing loud and bold. The Senheiser, however, sounds like a step up. It's just simply smoother and picks up more subtle nuances in my vocals than the sm58 and other mikes. I used it in rehearsals for the last few weeks and have gotten to know this mic. Tonight, I used it for the first big show and it performed outstandingly well. The vocals were really clear and "on top" of the music. Not only that, when it spoke to the crowd, it was noticeably clearer. Overall, I am very pleased and impressed (as was our other vocalist)! This will be my mike of choice now. ... More
Absolutely Amazing
Sennheiser e 835 Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone
Reviewed by Cameron Johnson on Guitar Center
My band had been requiring me to buy this mic for a while now, so i finally bought it yesterday, and I can tell 2 immediate differences. The first is that there is a substantial sound quality boost. The second is that as soon as I plugged it in and started screaming, I felt more confident with myself, it's like the e835 has something about it that just holding is comfortable and has some kind of aura around it that improves confidence. Great stage mic, great anything mic. Being used to mediocre microphones and then going straight to an e835 is like going from wannabe, to pro. Great mic for pretty much 10% of the price it should be. I highly recommend the e835 for any and all singers and screamers. ... More
This is a great handheld microphone

Reviewed by Ahhapictures on B&H Photo Video
I recently filmed a local music band using 2 (two)separate E835 Cardioid Handheld Dynamic Microphones, which I purchased from B&H. ... I hooked both microphones to my Cannon XL2 using 2(two) 25 feet XLR cables, which I also purchased from B&H. I placed one mic on a boom stand close to the lead Singers amplifier and place another E835 Cardioid Handheld Dynamic Microphone on another boom stand close to the drummer, bass and lead guitars. The sound quality was amazing and above the bands expected standards. The entire band was so pleased with how the sound came out. Actually, they said, it was the best sound they have heard from a live performance rehearsal. So, I will add, the E835 Cardoid Handheld Dynamic microphone is capable of capturing a high quality performance of sound. Great for live performances too. The sound was so great, we decided to edit the live performance and make a music video using the recorded performance with the E835 Handheld Dynamic mics. You will not be let down with this mic and the price is great and worth it. ... More

if your in search of quality sound out of a microphone... this is the one. The frequency response across the spectrum is clear and robust. I own PG48, PG58 and SM58 mic's and thought I had the best for the price... I was wrong! The E835 is much more the microphone than the other brand. I could not believe how much clearer and more responsive this microphone is over the others. Having just purchased these, I can't comment on the durability. I do have a Sennheiser wireless that has been working for me for 6 years and my partner has an E835 that she has been using for 6 months and it has held up. Its solid, has a nice weight to it, doesn't pick up side noises or when your handling it. All in all it is just a great microphone. ... More

I'm writing this because as crunchguy stated, the 1 Star is totally not accurate. There's an adapter inside, take it out. But seriously, I've bought this combo in August 2013, I'm writing this in August 2019, have used my mic very frequently for 100's of shows, and guess what???? I still use it and it sounds as good as the day I bought it. I've been waiting to get the e935 but if it ain't broke, why fix it!!! The stand I no longer have, but the mic is the focal point of this deal... I love it!!! At first, the fact that it doesn't have an on/off switch kinna was gonna be a deal break, however when set up properly , you get no feedback or buzz or white noise, it's a great mic. Just saying. Lol. Keep on rocking!!! SAS!!! ... More

I have to say that the Sennheiser E835 is one of the best deals for you money. I have used it for 2 years now and its worth every penny. I have dropped or hit it against the ground countless times and it still works like new. It also is very light in weight for as well as it holds up against the wear and tear. The only problem I have had, is that I cracked the grill of the mic and have yet to be able to find a replacement. Overall though if you buy the Sennheiser E835 today you will never have to worry about buying another mic for a long time!! ... More
Sennheiser wins again

Reviewed by Gbluesy on Guitar Center
Yep, got these mics because of the reviews and had to give it a try. First show we used them on was a pleasure from start to finish. Vocals now have that detail in the midrange and smooth at the same time. Nice clean and robust vocals. What else can you ask for at that price range. We had a 58 on the side for when some one wanted to get up and sing ( No more using my mic ) Well the 58 worked well but it did not have that quality the Sennheisers had. That kinda set my opinion right there. We have to say this time, we managed to step up a notch in the music world. LOL These mics are worth it. You will not go wrong. ... More
Throw the 57's Away!
Sennheiser e 835 Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone 3-Pack
Reviewed by Jake on Guitar Center
I couldn't be happier with these mics. I have used many shure products in the time that I have been doing live sound and recording. These are about the price of regular 57's and they blow them and the beta's out of the water. I would use nothing else for live vocals and snare mics if I had the choice. A great live mic from anything ranging from portable PA's to Install these mics will give you great flexibility at the board. I think they should be the new industry standard and throw the 57's away.
Good for stage use
Sennheiser e 835 Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone
Reviewed by Fuzzball on Guitar Center
I have mixed feelings about this mic. First the mic is very good for general use. The mic has a suttle boost that tends to push the high range up a bit to high causing the mic to produce the s sounds a little to high. This problem can be easily eliminated by reducing the EQ at the high frequency range but it dulls the tone a bit. The mic is built well but it is not as tough as a SM58. Overall it is a good mic but I would reach for a SM58 before this mic if possible.
A solid A+ in every aspect!

I've used Sennheiser e835 microphones for over twenty-five years, and exclusively for the last fifteen years. I play mostly solo acoustic gigs, singing and accompanying myself on guitar. I'm also a guitarist and vocalist with the Highway Outlaws Band in Southern Arizona, and have started an acoustic trio called Troubadour. The e835 is central to our vocal reproduction signature. This mic delivers an unmatched presence and tone across the frequency spectrum, reproducing vocals with punch and clarity even in the midrange area, where SM58s tend to get "quacky". This means that vocal harmonies blend exceptionally well and sound balance is easier to maintain. The 835 also performs well in the home studio, with very little noise as compared to signal, which is very important when laying down sensitive tracks. And, I'm excited to see that I can save some bucks if I buy a 3-pack. I'll definitely be putting in an order soon. ... More
Great mic

Reviewed by DOMINICK on Guitar Center
Our church had a mismatch assortment of mics. I couldn't get a good mix of the vocals since each mic was different and not the best quality. We purchased 4 Sennheiser e835 mics a little over a year ago for our lead singers of our small team. They were great, as good and actually better than the Shure mic we originally had for our Worship Leader. Our team has since grown in both the 1st service and 2nd service team. I replaced a couple of the mics I thought were good ones with the ones from this latest purchase Sunday morning and the vocals were so much better with these new mics, better than I had anticipated. I can't wait till one of our singers returns to see how much crisper his voice will be with his new mic. I plan to buy at least 2 more when the budget allows so the whole team is using the same mic. ... More

I got the Sennheiser E835 a couple of weeks ago and it is an all around awsome mic. It is killer for vocals and my singer and I love it! This is the best mic for under $100 you can get for live proforming. I personaly think this is a better mic than the Shure SM58, but it depends on the singer.

Reviewed by Ascenrial on Guitar Center
I've been singing/screaming for over 10 years now and the quality of this mic is amazing. With many mics I've had in the past I had to pull the mic so far away from my mouth when doing a loud projected scream it was frustrating. With this microphone I can go from singing at a near whisper to pulling it slightly back and letting out a loud projected scream without any distortion. I've had mine now for about three years and I'll probably never switch back to Shure due this mics capabilities for screaming. I recently picked up an e935 and my guitarist is now using this. The durability is no joke either, I've accidentally dropped this mic when setting up for gigs too many times to count, and besides some scratches, this mic still sounds as good as the day i bought it. ...

Reviewed by JJ Spangler on Guitar Center
I have personally used these mics as well as the band and they are as good as you can get for the price... with one exception, being for Hip-Hop performers. While in Las Vegas we leased one of our sound systems to a local venue who had a great deal of hip-hop artists, many beginners, who performed there. Unfortunately, these mic's are too sensitive for missuse and vocals that should be mic'd with a kick drum microphone. If you are working any other genre of music where clearity is imperative, these are the mic's for you, without busting your budget! -JJ Spangler aka The Fireman ... More
