Sennheiser Micrófono E865 S

As usual Sennheiser have produced a top quality microphone.

Ive used this mic for a few interviews now and Im delighted with the results. The tone is lovely and warm with great results for a deeper voice like mine. The quality is impressive with no sound transfer from the shaft whatsoever.

This microphone and its brother, the e865S (with an on/off switch) produce rich sound, much like a dynamic microphone even though they are condensers. They feel very solid and well built, and in that sense, they are fairly heavy. They deal fairly well with handing noise.

Much better than my dynamics as a vocal stage mic. No issues with feedback, and plosives seem controlled. However, the top-end of this condenser mic is still more rolled-off than I expected based on the frequency response graphs compared with my studio condensers and calibrated measurement mic. Microphone FR graphs need to be taken with a grain of salt. The On/Off switch works great, and is silent in use.

I've always enjoyed the Sennheiser products. This one is no different. Other than the normal things about the mic that you'll love, i.e. great sound and quality manufacturing, you'll love the little extra benefit of the absolutely silent on/off switch that can (get this) be locked in the "on" position using a small screw on the switch. What an awesome feature!
