I have a grandson who enjoys playing his guitar. I want to nudge him into singing and I am focusing on a microphone. A professional disc jockey we know said he prefers a Sennheiser because it improves his voice. What do you think? What model would you prefer?

@mike I think either of them would work better, 900 series particularly. The clarity there is superior but it also comes at a higher price, and the reason you won’t find the switch on the latter is because of reliability concerns, plus the switch clicks are annoying. This is quite standard for higher grade stage mics.

Hello @Peter.
We do music stile like RATM, so there is some of RAP and i am thinking, will 935 be better for me than 845s?
I am looking for 845-s because of switch that i cant find in 935.
do you think supercardioid will be good for moving on stage holding mic in hand with loud music?
I alway had problem with sm58 that i cant hear myself properly.

I really appreciate these reviews. The e935 has replaced the SM58 as my Swiss army knife. One mic conspicuously missing from your reviews is the sE V7. At $99 MSRP, it has attained legendary status for punching above it’s weight class. I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on that mic and how it stacks up against mics in the $300-500 range.

It can work just fine since you are used to Beta, better rejection and richer sound if that’s what you’re after.

Just purchased the e945 but wondering if the e935 was the better choice? Using it for a 2 man acoustic guitar duo both singing. Playing bars and breweries mostly. Could also be using for 4 piece rock band. I am thinking in some spots the 945 could help with stage noise. Using Bose L1 system for sound. Don’t want to lose fullness and projection. Currently using BETA SM58.
Thanks!!

Well, yes of course, if you like holding it in your hand while maintaining some focus, it’s a great dynamic mic, especially if you want to record vocals. It is just, the stage mics tend to sound brighter than for instance the broadcaster mics. The latter however also have a better sweet spot and are easier to station on a boom, shock mounts is another thing.

I’m assuming this mic can be used for home studio recording, although it’s primarily purpose is live stage/events/ etc. I mostly use good condenser mics, but I was also told that dynamic mics also work well for recording. If anyone has any opinions/ thoughts, please let me know.

I’m a solo acoustic using Fishman sa220. It’s time to upgrade from the 25 yr old sm58. What would be the best vocal mic for small live venues?
