    • I love the sound and feel of the e865
Style: e865

I love the sound and feel of the e865. I have a couple of Shure SM58 mics in my personal collection, but they have been shelved after using this. The build quality is excellent and, if paired with the right mic cord, there is very little handling noise. Unlike other (cheaper) condenser mics I have, I didn't have to EQ this one much to get a nice, rich sound. If you need a good vocal mic that can cut through the mix and make the lead stand out, this is an excellent choice. I managed to find this at a close-out price (about the same as the SM58) and I am wishing I had purchase at least one more at that price. My only complaint is that it shipped with the wrong mic holder. It looks like a nice, quality mic holder, but the MZQ 100 that came with mine is way too small to fit the e865. It is apparently designed for the e606/609/614 or e906. Unfortunately I didn't notice this until well after I received it. ***************UPDATE 3-10-19***************** I attempted to contact Sennheiser shortly after posting this review in an attempt to exchange the mic holder for the correct one. As it turns out Sennheiser WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY FOR PRODUCTS SOLD THROUGH AMAZON. Apparently too many fakes have been sold here, and one of the signs that you might have an imitation microphone is if it ships with a mic holder that doesn't match. I have disassembled the mic and it appears to have all the proper holographic Sennheiser labels, so either it is a genuine Sennheiser or one heck of a knockoff. It still sounds great and appears to be working flawlessly, but it is a bit disappointing to know that I don't have a valid warranty. I would gladly buy this product again, but I wouldn't pay full price for one here on Amazon. Buy from an authorized dealer's website if the warranty is important to you. ... show more

    • State of the Art Live Performance Microphone
Style: e865
This is hands-down the crème de la crème of high performance microphones for professional live sound applications. For the performer, it's clarity, realism, and ability to maintain high stage monitor levels without feedback, allow for the concentration on the performance itself, rather than be distracted by technical considerations. For both sound technician and performer, the E-865, like all Sennheiser vocal microphone, features a minimal proximity effect, meaning that, regardless of how close to the mouth the microphone is, the equalization of sound remains approximately the same. There simply is no better sounding microphone available. This is my sixteenth Sennheiser microphone purchase to date, and my fourth of the E-865. ... show more

    • VERY NICE!!!
Style: e865
Not only is this mic silky smooth & warm, it rejects off center sound better than anything I've ever tried. No longer can my acoustic guitar be heard bleeding through the vocal mic! This makes for great recordings & mastering. I've had no problems with feedback either which means it's also an awesome stage mic. Remember, this is a condenser mic...and does require 48v phantom power. Some of my other mics include a Shure Beta 57 & 58, Samson Q8, Rode NT2-A, and a Samson G-Track. The Sennheiser is by far the best vocal mic in terms of quality, and off center sound rejection, when you're trying to play & sing at the same time...or have ambient room noise you don't want picked up. Bottom line, I highly recommend this mic for both it's sound quality, isolation characteristics...and versatility! P.S. When I run this mic through a tubed pre-amp, it's amazing how good it sounds!!! ... show more

    • Buy this mic if you are a vocalist or backing vocalist
Style: e865
I had my old e865 for over 20 years, I bought this one because I just wanted a back up. I have an e865 S , that has the switch to turn it on. This new one doesn't have the switch. They guys in my band use a Shure 58 and this mic has a smoother response and brighter on top end presence. This blows away a 58 in my opinion. This is a great price compared to other online / music websites. Buy it now! ... show more

    • Love this Microphone
Style: e865
This is an excellent microphone. I almost exclusively use Sennheiser products professionally with my video production company so it was almost a given I’d turn to them when I joined a band. I absolutely love the sound from this microphone. It has such a natural, deep tone. I would highly recommend it for any vocalist that can supply phantom power under live conditions. It’s worth that hassle. Personally I use a VoiceLive Play vocal effects processor and it has built in phantom power so not an issue here. ... show more

Style: e865
One of the best mic companies made a perfect condenser mic for a lead vocalist. the sound is so pure and the build quality is so solid, its priced way below other mics of this quality. Made in Germany, high quality

This mic is perfect for my needs! I was surprised at its quality given the price.I love the clarity that it gives my voice. It easily contends with other condenser mics that cost much more!
