Excellent general purpose microphone, not the best for blues harp
By Sessue Eberle
I purchased several of these a year ago for use in different locations. Their primary use has been with Pignose HOG-30 solid state amps and the currently bestselling On Stage microphone stand. A separate XLR cable was purchased, as was a XLR to 1/4 inch adapter. It also proved necessary to get an On Stage microphone holder with a 5/8 inch tap, since the holder that comes with this mike is too small for the On Stage stand. I am not using an impedance-matching transformer nor have I found one to be necessary; there is no discernible hum or signal loss feeding the signal from this mike (which has 1,000 ohms impedance) into the sort of amps I use.The mike has three uses: vocals, acoustic guitar, and harmonica (both diatonic and tremolo). As other reviewers have noted, the performance has been exceptionally clean and clear. The range as been more than adequate for its intended use. The addition of an on/off switch makes the use of the mike especially convenient, since it eliminates bending down to turn the amp on and off all the time (which can be quite a nuisance).If the mike has any shortcomings, it is as an accessory for blues harp. I didn't have his in mind when I purchased it, so it's not entirely fair to judge it on this basis. But I will be looking for a different mike to support that. The problem is that blues harpists need to cup their hands around both the mike and the harp, preferably without the stand being there. They also like a crunchy sound instead of a clear sound. This mike is clear and not crunchy, doesn't have the optimal bullet or ball shape, and is a bit on the heavy side (12 ounces) to be a good blues harp mike. As I said, this isn't really a fair critique, so I haven't marked the mike down. In other ways, it's an excellent mike.And I do appreciate that it's a cardioid mike rather than an omni, so it picks up what is in front of it and not everything else in the vicinity. This is useful for both practice and performances. And the mike's heft is an indication of its overall rugged construction. It's certainly more solid than the many Sennheiser headphones that I've destroyed.I hope some of this proves useful.

By R. E. Buxbaum
I'm a professional videographer and I bought this mic to go with my Sennheiser ew100ENG G2 wireless system. This mic isn't a wireless mic, but it can be turned into one, how? Well I found out that it's much cheaper to buy this mic and plug in my Plug-in Transmitter (that came with the Sennheiser ew100ENG G2 wireless system) to make this mic wireless. The Plug-in Transmitter will power this mic, it really is a smart choice to buy. Gets GREAT GREAT Professional Sound, it's small, built very very WELL, and is a must for videographers who don't want to spend $345 on a wireless mic. If you do want to spend that kind of momney buy the Sennheiser SKM100G2 Handheld Transmitter with MD835 Microphone Capsule. But this one will work just fine for me for a fraction of the price.

By epinvt
Having been a solo singer/guitarist for many years, I've tried 'em all; 57's, 58's, AKG's, etc... The Sennheiser E825-S has one of the cleanest, clearest, and best sounding vocal characteristics in a microphone I've ever experienced. Not only a nice looking microphone, the E825-S is built like a tank--solid, dependable, and worth every penny.
