[Mute Switch] Nothing bad to say about this mic. I bought four(4) units for my band vocals and couldn't be happier. 5

[ABS] This is are second mic from the same brand and works perfect the sound is very clear and clean. I am not an expert is this but I can compared with others that I used before and this is the best 5

[Handheld] Recently I made a change from my old Sennheiser lavalier G3 to AVX and so I also changed my handheld. The same expected quality, but with the evolution of the AVX system. Pefect. 5

[Dynamic] My friend who resides in Florida gave me the XS Wireless 1 as a Xmas present about a year ago and after both of my Shure SM 58's stopped working after about 20 years of service, I told him I'm going with the Sennheiser and he bought me this. This microphone is hot, I'm using half of the volume I used with the SM 58's and makes my job as a vocalist much easier. 5

[12.8 x 9 x 4.4"] It works as expected. I added the mic to my existing AVX kit for interviews. Happy with the purchase. 5

Mark	03/07/2024
[Supercardioid] Solid sound, easy programming with existing receiver, clear and crisp audio. While there is a noticeable (to my ear) difference when used alongside the 835 capsule, I would not consider this to be an inferior product in any way, and the average listener probably wouldn't pick up on it. 5

[2.4 GHz QPSK] Just shot with it this weekend. Very happy with results. One battery lasted the full day. 5

[ Internal] ESTE ES MI SEGUNDO SENNHEISER PARA NUESTRA IGLESIA, EL PRECIO NO ES TAN EXTRAVAGANTE Y LA CALIDAD ES SUPER BUENA 5

[Analog UHF ] Before purchasing this, I actually purchased a Sennheiser e965 condenser vocal, which is apparently their top-of-the-line handheld vocal mic. While it was certainly a very high quality mic which I am sure works great for many others, it just didn't fit my voice, even with some EQ experimentation. So, I sent it back and decided to try the e865. Yes! Incredible warmth and presence, able to cut through the band with room to spare, great intelligibility. Short story, I love this mic! 5

[10] I was pleasantly surpassed how good this mic sounds. I already have two AVX mke2 systems so I was already spoiled by their superior sound quality. However, I did not expect a handheld mic to be this clean. Well Done again Sennheiser 5
