Sound:
You'll see i gave it a 9 for sound, this is for the cost i give it a 9. Compare this to the Shure 57... i'd go with this product. The sound quality is richhh and extremely warm.. I love being able to blow people away with a conversation using this microphone. I keep getting complimented on a great sounding voice.

Quality:
We crate these around (always one plus two backups) quite a bit and they have held up well.

Value:
I would say that for the money there is really nothing better.

Sound:
Our band owns A LOT of mics. The female singer uses this for rehersals and live performance. Her sound is warm and clear. Live, this mic punches through hard, no feed back problems. For her voice it has been better than a SM58. We play country and classic rock.

Feature:
Not much you can expect for a cardiod dynamic on a budget.

Quality:
Very well built - XLR connection and microphone grills are smooth to disconnect/connect.

Value:
Good value for money.

Sound:
Good bass and nice clear highs.

Support:
None yet.

Overall:
It had much clearer top end compared to the SM58 which may or not be a good thing. Its quite sensitive to feedback compared to other mics. Excellent live mic which can be used in home recording studio. Highly recommended vocal microphone for solo singers.

Feature:
Great,great sound on both male and female vocals.

Sound:
Never mind a great mic for ther money- this is a GREAT mic at any price. I own Beyerdynamic M88's,M69's ,Neumann KMS 104 and 105's, and I can tell you I like this mic better than every one of them on my voice. This mic does not have a muddy bottom end,it's tight and the highs are perfect. Shure betas and sm's don't even come close unless you eq the hell out of them. Try plugging one into a Good mixer with all eq flat(at center position) you'll see immediately that this mic still maintains good overall sound quality,where most other mics sound muddy and have no high end. I have AB'd the E835 against the E845 and it still comes up as a better mic. Try it !!!!

Feature:
I think just the mic in the box, no accessories.

Quality:
Ive dropped this mic at least twice, full facial grimace kind of drop from at least 4 feet. BLAM to the hardwood floor. No problem. Just as clear as ever. Very freakin sturdy. Solid. Its German made people. You may just want to find a quiet place to sit and just hold it to appreciate its density. :-)

Value:
I feel like this was a tremendous value for the quality of sound Im getting. Almost giving it away.

Desirability:
excellent look and feel.

Sound:
Let me start by saying Im not an expert in mics. However, I've done my homework and I have no patience with noise or hum. This is one very low noise mic. With a track set to record mode and up full gain I have reached over to switch it on only to be surprised thats its on. Noise is almost null. Amazing. I have good cables though. The sensitiviy is awesome. I use this mic for acoustic guitar and vocals. Im very pleasef with the response. The tracks are clear, bright, deep with up front presence. Look, this is Sennheiser, experts for decades. Its also a piece of German gear, need I say more? OF COURSE, Id prefer a nice pricey condensor mic with great preamps, but this is my budget. Id recommend anyone on a tight budget to get the 835s and get started. Its a professional mic with lots of punch. TIP: When Im recording, I unscrew the metal screen cap and turn the preamp (digi001) all the way up. I then use a little compression. Its a nice strong signal people and Im happy.

Support:
no problems.

Overall:
Im giving this mic a 9, because Im sure theres a 10 mic out there that cost a bit more. But a 9 rating means you can get busy in the studio.

Feature:
Solid, simple and durable.

Quality:
I think for the price, Sennheiser has made a great dynamic mic. Solid and tough.

Value:
Excellent sound for the buck.

Desirability:
Dark gray and black metal cap. Looks good, feels good.

Sound:
This is actually my second review posting. I noticed that some idiot who cannot spell, spammed this product and I'd like to clarify things. Firstly, he calls the mic muddy. That's a rather vague statement, and I disagree. I also don't appreciate you spamming with your incomplete evaluation. Sennheiser produced the E835 series dynamic to compete with the Shure SM57. I'd recommend reading up on the history and popularity of the SM57, which is THE dynamic mic used by pro engineers worldwide for decades. Compare the technical data of the SM57 against the 835. Both have the same flat freq response. The 835 actually has a wider fq response. Sensitivity is also equal. Impedance (actual) is lower on the 835 (good thing). Numbers of course don't mean everything. Sennheiser is one of the top mic makers of all time. This mic has excellent presence and gain. Nice hot signal with very little noise. For the price it can't be beat. There are better vocal mics, and one should consider the condensor model. Check into the studioprojects C1. I purchased the 835 4 years ago after doing some initial research. At the time I knew little about recording. Since, I've learned quite a bit. I should have started off recording vocals, guitar on a good condensor. Well, I recorded several songs via the 835 dynamic, and overall I have attained a rather surprisingly clear recording level. Rule of thumb is DYNAMIC for live performance, Condensor for the studio.

Support:
I have not had problems yet. There is a warranty.

Overall:
I give it a 10, for its class. Again, as I said above the 835 has very similiar freq specs to the industry standard SM57. Sennheiser is a respectable manufacturer, and I believe they have designed a competitive mic here. It performs very well for a dynamic. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. You may need to purchase a condensor and products vary according to price. You get what you pay for. Id recommend the Studioprojects C1 condensor for those doing vocals in studio on a budget.

I use these for all of my lead vocals in low-SPL conditions. One of the best-sounding mics you can get for under $200. Way way better than the annoyingly industry standard SM58, this mic is crisp, clean, and intelligible.

This products value is worth more, than they sell it for in the store.

Feature:
The stand is a major downfall of this product. It won´t hold up my condenser for more than a couple of minutes, and it´s not due to quality issues, it´s due to design issues. It´s design makes so that holding up a big, heavy condenser like my Samson C03 unscrews the knob holding it up. Now, with the little dynamic mike that I´m actually reviewing, it works just fine. The cables are pretty good, but once I get the money, I´m going to switch to Monsters.

Quality:
I can´t entirely vouch for its quality from actual experience dropping it, but it feels very, very sturdy. If I were on the road, I would keep a backup, but that´s only because that´s standard practice, especially for a lead singer and his mike.

Value:
Definitely worth it. I would pay more, especially if the package came with a better stand.

Desirability:
Well, it´s not really a sexy mike, but, how hot do mikes get, anyways. It´s not a classic like the Shure SM58 (I still don´t get why), but it´s not like it´s an ugly mike. So, I´m not even going to rate this category.

Sound:
The Sennheiser e835 is a very clear sounding mike after a little bit of EQ. It sounds just a little bit dull (oh, wait, maybe that´s just me). I haven´t tried it on my guitar amp, so I can´t talk about that. I have used it on my acoustic guitar, and it sounded almost as natural and clean as my Samson CO3, which, despite the low price tag ($120), is a very nice condenser.

Ease of Use:
It´s a microphone. How hard can it be with a dynamic mike? Just stick it in front of your mouth or guitar or whatever you´re miking.

Support:
I have not had to deal with Sennheiser ever, and don´t expect that I will ever have to.

Overall:
All in all, it works. It sounds good, it would work if I needed it to club through a raging, disrespectful audience (not that that´s ever happened...), and the stand sucks. Get the mike, but look for a stand elsewhere. Try the OnStage tripod boom. That one works pretty well.
