Sennheiser XS 1 Handheld Dynamic Microphone,Black

This is very nice! I have a $600 Sennheiser microphone, but this sounded like my expensive wireless Sennheiser. It’s worth for the price. Very good quality to use for practice or home karaoke.

Works just great for my trivia nights. feels pretty indestructible, which is the kind of quality I was looking for and expected from Sennheiser. The sound is clear, and directional.

Pleased so far. Sound quality is good and no hiss or hum. Seem very sturdy and love the on/off function.

First impressions: Everything about this microphone screams quality. It is very heavy for it's size, and the finishing is perfect. The pouch it comes with is perfectly sized for both the microphone and it's holder. The switch moves smoothly but firmly, and you can feel when it is in it's place. It may say "Made in China", but the German engineering is blatantly shown in every design feature of this device. I will do a follow up review in a few days after using it a few times to discuss it's connectivity and sound.

Great microphone for close MC work or to pick up voices at a wedding ceremony. It worked so well for me I bought a 2nd mic. I would buy again if anyone ever does a mic drop with it (or have them buy it!).

I used it today, for the first time at a church performance. It's a really solid microphone. I bought it to have an extra mic, but now I'm going to use this one as my primary. My previous mic, I found out was an SM58 fake. It was so light and felt like a toy. I will keep that around for an emergency back up.

Great mic silent switch

[4.5 STARS] For the price point, this is probably the best mic out there. It's a solid Sennheiser mic, too, of which I've used for nearly three decades. I run a trivia company and with over 15 hosts, this is the exclusive microphone that I've built into our mobile kits (we own just shy of two dozen). In 8 years, I've only had two fail on us, and that's with weekly use, with our hosts using them several nights a week (I personally host 4-5 games a week and have had zero issues). One completely failed (no sound), while the other magically lost its ability to reproduce low-end. Otherwise, these have been pretty solid. They do have one major flaw, and that is handling noise. It can be dialed back if you have the right EQ and depending on what you are using it for, but depending on how tight the on/off switch is, you'll heard a slight "thud" when activating it. And too much handling of the mic in the wrong spots will pick up unwanted noises, but again learning proper mic technique can get your around most of that, just be aware that it's there. I do wish the capsule was replaceable (I use an SE2 on my wireless Sennheiser mics), but at the $50-ish price point it's asking a lot. Seriously, this is a great little mic for the money. If you aren't willing to spend twice as much for the e835 (especially if you need the switch because the 935 doesn't have one) then this is the mic you'll want to buy.
