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.

I love Sennheiser products. I received the ordered product within 9 days. It was packed well and all it's accessories was included in the box.

BUY THIS MIC FOR LIVE AND PROJECT STUDIO..etc USE A MIC PRE AND YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO TELL IF YOU ARE USING A NEUMANN U87. PAID ABOUT $220.00.
CLEAR AND NATURAL SOUND!!!!

It's a great live mic. Sounds excellent. I use it for vocals, rejects feedback very well. Solid, well made. Buy it.
