Verdict

The Sennheiser E 935 is a professional cardioid dynamic vocal microphone designed to cut through dense live mixes with a frequency response of 40 Hz to 18 kHz and a sensitivity of 2.8 mV/Pa. Its main characteristics include a rugged 100% metal construction, a shock-mounted capsule to minimize handling noise, and an integrated hum-compensating coil to reduce electrical interference. The primary pros are its transparent high-end, warm lower mids, and excellent feedback rejection, making it a reliable 'workhorse' for touring musicians. However, some users note potential cons such as a minor susceptibility to sibilance with certain voices and a lack of an on/off switch, which may be a drawback for some users.
