Great comparison, man. Appreciate the match between your technical knowledge and the fact that you can clearly sing!

[paulcope]

What a lovely review and great vocals. Well done.

[TransplantHelper]

You are very talented. To my ear the Sennheiser was the winner for it clarity and richness. Great comparison

The Audix OM-7 has been my mix of choice for nearly 15 years. I’ve tried others, but always come back to the Audix.

Outstanding video.. Thank you for the evaluations.. I looked a while to find a good comparison video.. Wish you did a little more on the SM58 but I understand, practically everyone has one... Thanx

I love how you explain about the microphones and also demonstrate, when you started purple rain (my fav) that just topped it for me to subscribe.

Thanks for the thoughtful video! I really like your detailed demo and the fact that you sing the same song with all these mics :)

[tadair]

I have the e935 and I have to say you are correct sir. The Sennheiser has much more clarity unlike the others that sounded "muddy". It also brings out the subtle nuances of your voice. Great choice!

[SPDATA]

As a lead vocalist I have used SM58 since 1991 but this Sennheiser is crisp, clarity and crystal clear. I will use it with my TC HELICON VoiceLivePlayer GTX for now on...GREAT VOICE BTW!

[JoyElectric]

You actually have a good voice. Kudos! It's not often we see that in these product videos.

[cpascual]
