What a great deal! After using another brand of microphone at the same price I now use the Sennheiser E835 in all my systems where sound quality is important and needs to be affordable.

great sound quality

I was going to go with the Shure, but decided to give these a try. Couldn't be happier with the Sennheisers. Sound great

Better than Shure for me

I have 3 Shure's and this one is by far the best. I have less feedback problems and vocals are rich, warm and clear. I'm glad I read others reviews and decided on this mic. I'd been a Shure user for 30+ years. I like the looks of this one and the feel of it as well.

835S

The 835s has a great clear tone, very strong output and I love the quiet switch and heavy duty construction. The cardiod pattern allows one to move off axis with out drastically changing output.

On the flip side, I've had instances where the broad pattern allowed ambient bar noise/reflections off glass to cause problems.

I did a side by side with an Audix OM5 today. The two were virtually identical in output, the 835 was slightly brighter sounding...although the audix seemed smoother. (depends on your ear) The audix had a laser tight pattern which is a blessing and a curse. You gotta get on it...and it's loads of gain..off axis and you're gone.

I think I'll use both depending on the environment I'm playing in. 835 is great for 100 bucks...or less if you buy a 3 pack.
