So far so good

I bought one of these for small shows. I'm just getting back into love sound after putting a pause on my career to join the army. Senhizer Has always been a good company and is the little brother to Neumann. I wish it had the slightly nicer 835 head for singing but it works. For singer the 835 is much better and you can get this but with it but it's a bit more. It's ridiculous easy to use and set up but I wish it had a few more options. When it comes to wireless there is no inexpensive option (sorry karaoke/DJ's) there is also no way to rack mount this it's just not an option. Still I'm glad it's in my box as I'm growing my gear and it will end up as a B backup or used for speaking events.

50% failure rate. Pro Coverage useless.

We purchased two of these in September 2017 for outside broadcasts where it would be too tricky (or we're too lazy) to run XLR cables to standard mics. Both mics are always kept in flight cases when not in use, and we've used them each about 5-10 times since purchase. When they work, they're fine, but this week we were running a concert and one of the mics went down - incredibly loud handling noise, even when it was on mute. Luckily, we had a spare set from another company beginning with S that we were able to use in place, so the even wasn't ruined (always carry spares, kids!). No problem, I thought. We have Pro Coverage on this. A nice easy transaction, send the broken device off, and get a replacement or gift card, and buy another of the S companies mics instead. No; even with pro coverage, GC wanted us to deal directly with Sennheiser. Who have very short phone hours, an impossible to find website, and you'll need to be on the phone to them to put the right information in on the support form - this product does not even exist, according to Sennheiser. We have this mic (hopefully in a week or two we'll have two of them again). But I'll never buy another Sennheiser product.

  • Great mic

    It's funny reading all the reviews from other people that have used this mic but really don't know what they are doing when it comes to sound. I have this mic and use it for live performance, often. I never have had a problem with it. If it drops out, I just change the channel. If it has a scratchy noise, that's what the squelch is for. All of this is pretty basic knowledge of a wireless mic. This mic will stand up to any Shure mic and blow it out of the water.

  • BUY THIS MICROPHONE IF YOU WANT YOUR SHOW TO GO THE TRASH

    We have multiple set of mics but only these sennheiser (we have 2 of these) making weird pop and scratch occasionally. Gain and level all look good, nobody scratching the mic. it just did by itself. everybody in the venue going deaf after this mic.

    I've been using this microphone setup for quite some time and I've never once had a problem. I've never had any extra noise no pops no drop outs. I've done countless wedding receptions with this microphone and I'm about to buy another one

    Bought due to reasonable price and having good experience with other products they make but had not check the reviews on this particular wireless - my bad. Straight out of the box the mic would make static pops so bad when moved it could damage your ears and ruin a PA system. Tried every single channel option and read the terribly poor manual for any insight, with no resolve. Thinking maybe the city I was in could be the problem I tested it in 2 other small towns later that day, with the same results. Turning off the mic power switch also did not stop the crackling. GC service center said they allow mic returns but the local GC store I bought from said they didn't. The service center could not take it back however because they said the local store computer system was different than theirs (how cool is that??). They told me to try and find another store that would accept it. Luckily the manager of the Mayfield store was a super nice guy and helped me return it. I even ended up buying a higher end Shure model from him and that mic works and sounds fantastic (better than my wired SM58's). Sennheiser just lost a long time supporter and I may not frequent GC as much now.

    This product is light weight. It does not come with instructions or a manual. It comes with pictures on how to connect. It has a specification booklet written in several different language but NO instructions or a manual. I guess the German manufacturer either forgot to include one or felt it was not necessary. The Mic does not come with instruction or a manual either. Mic is uni direction, you must speak directly into it. It won't pick up voice from the sides of the Mic. Main disappointment is that it did not come with instructions or manual.

    It's possible. There is more involved with feedback than the microphone.
