Perfect Professionally or Personally
A perfect microphone for both proffessional and personal use (with both XLR and USB connection). The only downgrade I see in it is that you cannot open the grid to clean the foam (just in case!) without dismanteling the whole device.

HIgh Quality, BUT ...
There is no doubt about the high quality of the German made Sennheiser products. In this regard, it deserves at least four stars. And it is surely one of the best options if one is not to go with MONO shotgun microphones.
However, as a stereo mic for camcorders, Sennheiser MKE 440 has some minor design issues:
1- If you put a DeadCat windshield on the microphone for outdoor shooting, the buttons at the side of the mic is covered and you have to put the fur aside to see the mic buttons (on/off battery indicator, sensitivity switch and low cut filter).
2-The mic cable has a stereo 3.5 mm jack. If your camera accepts XLR connection, you have to use a 3.5 mm female to dual XLR male adapter (as in the picture).
3-Working with AAA batteries, the microphone cannot be charged via the camera. In fact if your camera provides 48volts for phantom microphones, you should switch this option off; otherwise it might damage the microphone.
Note that none of the above is an issue with spherical Rode Stereo VideoMix X (as it would work with both battery and the camera voltage; its buttons are always at sight, a mini XLR to dual XLR connects it to the camcorder). But, unfortunately, Rode Stereo VideoMix X is too expensive ($600) for a simple job and it is currently unavailable.
In conclusion: If one is after a proper stereo mic for camcorders there is currently no better alternative than Sennheiser MKE 440.
