5.0 out of 5 stars Well made, easy to use, nice sounding mic, January 18, 2010

My vocal mics include an Audio Technica AE3300, a Rode M1 and an EV N/D 767A. I was looking for an easy to use super or hyper cardioid condenser mic for solo vocal performances with an acoustic guitar. The AE3300 (my other condenser) is a wonderful mic, but it picks up the guitar too much (which is a problem with processors like the TC-Helicon VoiceLive).

The Sennheiser e865 is well built and it's easy to get a nice clear, rich sound without hassle. Its plossive protection is fair to good. Its proximity effect is less pronounced than some. And its off-axis rejection is just what the doctor ordered.

For me, doing two or three church services a month through a flying PA of Mackie, QSC and JBL quality, I can't see needing to spend more more.

Simply I would rate the package a zero if there was an option to give zero. This is a premium condenser mic that should be taken care of and packaged/prepared correctly. I received what is said to be a brand new item but discovered that the product manual inside the box is for e845 which is a dynamic mic !! How could this happen ? To be returned and already contacted Sennhieser website. I will purchase the item from another online seller if the mistake is proven to be from Amazon not from Sennhieser.
