SennheiserPro Audio Professional E 835 Dynamic Cardioid Vocal Microphone, Wired, Wireless

I purchased the Sennheiser e835 to enhance my audio quality for virtual meetings, and it has been a game-changer. A colleague make the recommendation. Paired with a boom arm, this microphone delivers clear, natural, and professional-sounding audio that is miles ahead of built-in laptop mics or even standard USB options.The cardioid pickup pattern does an excellent job of focusing on my voice while minimizing background noise, making it ideal for home office environments. The build quality is solid and durable, and the sound profile has a warm, rich tone that enhances speech clarity.If you're looking to level up your virtual presence with broadcast-quality audio, this mic is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!

Stepson needed a couple mics so we gave him the Sennheisers we had & bought new ones. The ones we gave we've had for years & was still using them regularly.They're a great mic! Originally they replaced a Shure 58 which is another great microphone

After much debating and arguing with some of my audiophile friends, I decided to purchase the E835, and let me tell you, I do not regret this purchase one bit. My previous microphone was the AT2020 and I despise that microphone with every fiber of my being. I needed a microphone that only picked up what was right in front of it, and if something relatively loud happened behind it, the microphone wouldn't pick it up. The AT2020 did actually quite the opposite. If something happened behind the AT2020, two rooms away, and it was downstairs, the AT2020 would pick that up and seem to amplify it. The E835 does the opposite. While in a server with my friends while playing games I can be bashing my mechanical keyboard, which is less than a foot away from the E835, and nobody will hear a thing. Go back to the AT2020, and you can hear when my dogs are walking downstairs, because that microphone will pick up EVERYTHING. The E835 is, in my opinion, the best cheap dynamic microphone under $100. When paired with a audio interface, such as the U-PHORIA UM2, this microphone is amazing. I would recommend, though, that if you are using this in a gaming setup as your mic to record or stream, to get a noise gate. Either a software (NoiseGator with VB-Audio) or a hardware noise gate/sound compressor would make this microphone leaps and bounds better.

Versatile mic that can be used from vocals to live instrumentation.

This is not the best mic you could buy but it is well above average. It works great for back up vocals and does resist feedback some what.

I've been in bands and around music since 1986 and recently bought this mike for my daughter who's doing live performances and home recording as well. I was blown away at the high quality of this piece - it's built like you'd expect something German to be built, and it feels like it should last forever with just reasonable care. The sound clarity is amazing, it is extremely sensitive, and there's no buzz or hum whatsoever in the unit we received - honestly, one of the clearest microphones I think I've ever handled.On the weird side, bought this through Amazon, and it was delivered simply in the little zipper bag designed to carry it, inside the standard Amazon brown box - no retail packaging or directions whatsoever. I rather get the feeling this mike was part of a bulk buy and they took a bunch of them out of one large box and just shipped them in their self-contained "gig bags." It was well-wrapped in bubble wrap, but it just struck me as odd that it didn't come in a factory box with any directions or warranty cards or anything of that nature.The microphone itself, however, is better than anything I've seen from Shure, Audix, or anyone else for that matter. HIGHLY recommend this one.

Very warm and balanced mic.
