Sennheiser e 945 Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone
Reviewed by BSR on Guitar Center
The Sennheiser E945 is a powerful microphone with great sound. I have used it in several shows, and hours and hours of practice, but it wasn�ۡ���t until I handed it to our female vocalist until I understood its true power. It sounds much better as a female vocal microphone. Don�ۡ���t get me wrong, this microphone is great for male vocals as well, but unless you�ۡ���re an Alto, I recommend saving some bills and grabbing the Sennheiser 845 or the SM58. Female singers should spring the dough for this microphone, as it is well worth it. I have used this microphone for in home recording too, and it does a great job with vocals (again BEST on female vocals). Sadly, it does not capture guitar tone very well, the sound gets an extra boost in the highs and adds extra noise to any distortion. This is not an all around mic, but I think it is the best vocal performance microphone on the market. ... More
Trust me this is the best mic out there

Reviewed by Scott Bandy on Guitar Center
I've tried them all (and still own them all) SM 58, SM 58 Beta, Audix OM2,OM5, OM7, EV, AT, you name it...and none compare to this one. It quickly became my mic of choice and I do well over 200 shows a year. I've had it for about 3 months now and I don't know how I ever got by without it. I love it. I have done side by side comparisons and this mic is by far superior...it's not even close. Trust me, buy it...you will not be disappointed. It even sounds great in my studio. Hands down, the best mic out there for live use. And still good for studio if you're not going to use a condensor...Check it out for yourself. ... More
Great stage mic
Sennheiser e945 Handheld Supercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone
Reviewed by Gerald K. on Reverb
The Sennheiser e945 is a great option for on stage vocal micing. As a sm 58 user since the 70’s, I never thought I’d change. The 58 is a great mic but I noticed that as I’m older now, my vocals lack some punch and clarity needed. I’m a background vocalist singing high harmonies and clarity without straining is so important. Several weeks ago, I came across the Sennheiser e945. This mic is superior to any mic I’ve ever used live. The clarity in the upper mid range is terrific without getting thin. Also, I personally don’t believe this mic colors the sound as some equipment does and the super-cardioid pattern eliminates unwanted sound bleeding into the mic. Feedback is also better controlled. I let our lead vocalist use it last night and he didn’t want to give it back. I ordered one for him before we started the 3rd set. I would recommend the Sennheiser e945 to anyone in all vocal ranges. For the price, it is quite good. ... More
Low handling noise, Better suited for vocalists
Sennheiser e945 Handheld Supercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone
Reviewed by Shelbi H. on Reverb
Haven't had a chance to plug it in in a live setting yet, but I've been working with my amp at home and there's absolutely no comparison. It cuts so beautifully through the guitar and makes my voice sound better than any mic I've used for live performances. It doesn't sound nearly as nice when used to mic an amp. Handling noise is barely audible in both uses. If you're looking for a mic for podcasts and recording, this is NOT your mic. If you're a male vocalist, you may want to take a look at the e935 which (from what I understand) picks up lower sounds better, or even the standard Shure SM58 or the Beta. If you're a female singer looking for a mic that cuts through the mix and won't cause vocal strain, you're doing yourself a grave injustice if you don't at least try this mic. It is 100% worth the extra cost. ... More

I had purchased an SM58....went home and tried it out and found it to be rather muddy in response. Put it to you this way I didn't appreciate how my voice sounded on it. Was worried that it would be difficult to find a good mic that would be suitable for my voice. Looked up many reviews and finally came down to purchasing my first Sennheiser. Well, this baby makes my voice pop and I actually feel more confident as I sing through the e 945! It really sounds so clear and amazing...actually gave myself goosebumps haha! I love the fact that it's professional to match my new PA system and mixer. If you're in doubt about which vocal mic to choose...I highly suggest this bad boy! This mic definitely deserves a great review! Thank you Sennheiser and Guitar Center for making this such a wonderful purchase! ... More

E945 > E935

Reviewed by Theodore D. on Reverb
So I started with sm58 in my mic journey. Used them for about 2 or 3 years before I decided to upgrade. I then got a e395 and fell in love. It was so much cleaner for my vocals. I used it for another 2 years and recommended it to so many other musicians when they were in the market. I needed a mic for another singer entering my act and was going to just get another e935. But I saw the e945 for a really good price used. I took the leap and tried it out and WOW. Just when I thought I couldn’t be happier with a mic. The difference from 935 and 945 is huge. I feel like I have more control over my voice now. It comes in so clear, I can hear every little thing I’m doing with my voice. 10/10 am going to buy a second one so both singers IN The group have that clarity and then use my 935 as a back up. ...

Good mic!

Reviewed by Scott the piano player guy. on Guitar Center
I use this mic onstage depending on which venue I play at and who's sound system I am using (the venue's sound vs. My own). I use the mic for vocals. I think it's a great mic, but it has a narrow pickup, so if im not right in front of the mic, it won't pickup my vocals as well. As long as I have enough volume it's a great mic, but with some casino house PAs I use, it doesn't pack enough punch.
Extremely crisp and clear

For over a decade I used a Shure SM58 for live performances. While it worked well for singing, audiences would have trouble understanding me when I was just talking in between songs. The E945 provides an added clarity that really highlights nuance when singing and everyone in the venue can now understand me when I talk between songs. It's a very good microphone for live shows.

I have 8 of these for the back up singers. The mix very well with the leads using the Sennheiser 965s. We use QSC K12s for monitors with no feedback issues whatsoever. Have had the for three years doing 20 road services plus about 120 home church services and countless rehearsals and sound checks. Never a problem with any of the mics. The sound clarity is several orders over the old Shures we used to use. I am configuring a new touring system and have 8 more of a 945s and 4 more 965s coming to go with our Allen and Heath GLD 80, and QSC KLA12s and KLA18s for foh. Should be amazingly clear. ... More
Excellent Vocal Mic
Sennheiser e945 Handheld Supercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone
Reviewed by Gary E. on Reverb
First big show with new microphone is tonight, but I have already been using it for practice. I really like the response. This mic is hot! I get deep deep bass when right up on it, and clean mids and highs when I back off a little. The "super-cardioid" pattern almost completely eliminates any potential for feedback from monitors. You really need to be completely straight on it for it to pick up. This means, of course, that it is not really meant to be a "shared" mic where more than one person sings into it at the same time. The pattern is just too tight for that. This is a really well-built fun-to-use microphone, and I would highly recommend it for a gigging vocalist. ... More
I recommend this mic to any serious musician.

Quality, expensive microphone ; however, not expensive for the purpose it serves. Good, clear vocals improve the musician's performance a lot !! So many bands with muddy sound because they use cheap mics. This mic picks up extremely well, minimal feedback issues, great for any vocalist. A good investment for any musician. I believe this mic is one of the very best mics on the market for vocal use. People in my audience want to hear the words of the songs, good clear vocals help make the musicians performance better, every time. ... More

Really Good Live Vocal Mic for Half the Price
Sennheiser e945 Handheld Supercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone
Reviewed by Jayme P. on Reverb
The Sennheiser e945 is the best sub-$400 wire live vocal mic for my money. Have three of them for live performances in theaters and churches. Clean full spectrum, great off-axis rejection (e.g., feedback or band noise), very durable. Only mic slightly better is the $500 Shure KSM8. Very few stage mics twice its price are as good sounding. Only drawback would be for a vocalist who moves a lot or doesn't keep the mic close and on-axis. But that would apply to the KSM8 as well...;)
Good sound, bad paint job

Reviewed by Roobie, T on Guitar Center
I bought this in 2017 and the quality was amazing. In 2021 I bought a new one, same model, and in a couple of months the housing got all scratched. Clearly a bad quality painting job. Talked to customer service and they wanted me to jump through all hoops to replace it. I think they should have been more helpful and less bureaucratic. Sounds good, but the quality of the housing dropped a lot from 2017 to 2021. In the photo the 2017 one is on the left and the 2021 one on the right!

I got this for doing interviews for an art photography project, and it works great. The sound is rich and well rounded with very little ambient intrusion due to the excellent side rejection. I am recording with a four track recorder strapped under my DSLR and then feeding it back into the camera. The person who does my photoshop was supper impressed with the quality and commented how much better it sounded that the broadcast quality video rig.

great mic

Reviewed by Bender on Guitar Center
This mic has incredible sensitivity and clarity within the desired distance from the mic (approx. 6" or closer) and absolutely no sound pick-up when you're any farther away. The result is low feedback and noise in a small jam room, and a mic that makes my voice sound as good as I've ever heard it sound.
A good buy !!!
