This mic is amazing for low range to deep voices. It gives you more clarity and shine through the mix. I’ve been using Shure Sm58 for a while now and sennheiser 835 for a long time. They don’t do too well with my voice even though they are great mics. Those mics do great with altos and some tenors. This mic is perfect for tenors. I feel it’s more balanced for everyone. If your an alto or saprano or if you do a lot of jazz or r&b get the sennheiser 945. I tried a lot of mics but I decided on this one because it felt more for my voice then the others. The 945 made me sound more clear but I lost bass. I didn’t like it for my voice.

I have used the e835 for years and was looking forward to the upgrade. I found that the e935 seems to have boosted the mid range and pretty much ruined the sound experience I was used to. I am not saying its a totally bad product, It just didn't work for me. If you are pleased with your e835 then just stick with that. This is not the mic your looking for.

I am a busy sound guy and regularly performing male-vocalist. I have used a lot of microphones. This one definitely has its place in your mic box. - - - Why did I buy this microphone? It was next on my list to try. I have tried Shure SM and Beta 58 mics, Audix OM5 and OM7... which leads me to the next question: - - - What do I like/dislike about the microphone? First of all, I like all microphones. I like them like my girlfriend likes shoes and my other guitar-playing buddies like stomp boxes. I have a substantial mic kit from really cheap microphones to moderately expensive microphones. But, as a singer, I like the clean presence and pickup pattern this mic offers. It is the mic I use personally on stage as a vocalist. As a sound guy, I like quality, sound and that this mic fills tech riders. - - - So how does it compare to others I've tried? Some vocal microphones can start to sound "harsh" at higher volumes in a mix. (especially the cheaper ones) This mic has a presence bump that leaves out the harsher frequencies but is still clear. "Consonants" in lyrics still come through in a loud setting. The amount of proximity effect is natural and predictable. - - - One of my other favorites is the Audix OM5, but many singers can't get used to the very tight pickup pattern. I'd still prefer the OM5 on loud stages (as a sound guy) but as a singer, I like the presence and pickup pattern of the e935. Shure SM58? Well, it is a standard, but takes a lot of channel strip tweaking to sound un-harsh at higher levels and tends to pick up too much stage sound for me. - - - Let's put it this way: Without telling anybody that I used this microphone instead of my trusty Audix OM5 at my last performance, 4 people (all sound guys) mentioned how clear my vocals sounded without any EQ tweaking on the channel strip. They all wanted to know which mic I was using. - - - Two final things: 1. I haven't tried this mic on female vocals yet. Could be great, could be just OK. I have no experience with that yet. Every attentive sound guy is either looking for or has found their favorite female vocal microphone. - - - 2. If you're really wondering about vocal mics, check out Dave Rat's microphone trial video on YouTube--the one where he uses iPod ear buds and pink noise on the microphones. The guy's a genius.Read full review
I bought three of these microphones to boost my sound system up; I had been working with sound for a while and always appreciated fine equipaments (also studied them). Already familiar with the great Sennheiser e835, figured, as I had some money, I'd try to take it to the next Sennheiser level and get the e935, which is suppose to have better timbre, better feedback rejection and hotter output. Well, it actually achieves every single aspect it's put out for. The warmth and natural sounding of this mic is somewhat unpickable. It has quite nice gain and it really cuts through any mix. It's actually quite hard to make these mics feedback or sound bad. I really can't compare it to any other US$200-less piece, as I guess the next level for live sound voice microphone would be the outstanding Neumann KMS-105, which ranks in the US$700 bill. Understanding that it is the most common and reasonable to compare any mic to a Shure, I'll give my opinion: forget, of course, the 'eld' Sm58; I've heard the Beta 87a once being used by a Chicago jazz singer and it sounded quite nice, but it's more expensive and the e935 wouldn't sound nowhere near "average" side-by-side to the Beta – it would really continue to sound great. Way to go, Sennheiser. Keep up! I'm a fan.Read full review
As a solo Irish balladeer, my music varies from tender love songs to boisterous beer drinking and Rebel songs. The Sennheiser e935 handles them all without distortion with clean, clear power. it has excellent rejection in loud venues (maybe not as good as e945, but has never been a big issue). I have to say it cuts through and an makes my sometimes nasally voice sound smoother and more pleasant. Not that it colors the sound, but reproduces without harshness. I would buy more just to have as spares but my original has never failed me in 10-plus years. Couldn't pass up this deal to have a spare though. Get one you won't be sorry.
