Sennheiser XS 1 Handheld Dynamic Microphone,Black

First of all, I was shocked by the price. A Sennheiser mic with mute capability for less than $150.00? The quality is excellent and it works great with my cinema camera.

This mic comes very close to Sennheisers higher-end handheld dynamic vocal mics. I was surprised by this. It has a similar sonic tone to the rest of Sennheiser's handheld dynamic vocal mic lineup, so if you like that house sound, youll like this mic. That said, like other Senn mics, this microphone doesn't give you the extra "help" with your voice like some other mics do, such as the venerable SM58. So, if you have a voice such that you are more comfortable with a mic that gives your voice an extra vibe and if you like to use proximity effect for tone, you might not like it.

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.

Exelente producto

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.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this cheaper mic, BUT it has surprised me on many levels. I actually bought it for smaller solo or combo gigs, but I may replace my Shure SM58's with these. Sound quality is fantastic and well worth the month!!!

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!).

This is a very nice microphone for the price. It's a solid build that feels good in the hand. Nice on/off button. Nice sound and no issue with audio feedback when standing in front of the speaker (that my old cheaper microphone had big problems with).

Le rapport qualité-prix est bon

El micrófono me lo recomendó un amigo que estudia audio, me había comentado que se trataba de un modelo que usaban para casi todo y que los sacaba de apuros en funciones en vivo. Yo lo uso únicamente para grabar mis guitarras, voz y percusiones en mi estudio casero; debo decir que el producto excedió mi expectativas. La construcción es de calidad y los materiales también. En cuanto a la calidad del audio esta es muy buena pero tiende a exaltar más las frecuencias medias y altas porque en sí está diseñado para voz. Habrá que tomarlo en cuenta al momento de ecualizar demás instrumentos. No obstante, se trata de un excelente micrófono para todos los niveles.

Ottimo prodotto!!

For the price this is a great little microphone I have used a lot. I'm used to a very old EW300 G3 which I adore, you need to jack the volume up to get noise from these, but they have a really nice low end drive. Very clear, but looses pickup for me at the higher notes (Male singer). The metal case has always been my fav as the weight gives a sense of quality when using it, also more durable.
