 Good for an inexpensive micFeb 11, 2007
I have this and the Shure PG-48. I use them with an inexpensive karaoke machine. The Shure PG-48 is a bit louder but produces more feedback when standing near the speaker. The Sennheiser is not as loud (i.e. sensitive), but is does have a cleaner and tighter sound quality. It is also better at reducing feedback.

 Sennheiser's low-cost e815S dynamic mic is a winner!Mar 19, 2005
The e815S is currently Sennheiser's least expensive hand-held (unidirectional) dynamic vocal mic, designed for live performance. It's shape is similar to a Shure SM-58, in that it has an integrated "ball top" wind screen, and a dark gray tapered body. It features an "off-on" switch and a male XLR (balanced, low impedance) output connector.
To compare this mic to another very well known and thought of mic, the e815S has a slightly brighter top end, a less pronounced midrange peak and less low end proximity effect than a Shure SM-58. It also provides a slightly hotter output than an SM-58, probably because of it's neodymium diaphragm design. The diaphragm appears to be mounted very well as it exhibits very little handling noise.
The brighter character of this mic helps a live vocal cut through the "mix" of live instruments. The lower proximity effect (bass boost when held close to the vocalist's mouth), also contributes to a cleaner-sounding signal. The silent off-on switch is a nice bonus too. The cost for this German-made mic is pretty amazing... they can be had in "three packs" for $100, or around $50 for an individual mic.
If you are looking for a good-sounding, durable, low-cost live performance vocal mic, the e815S is definately worth trying out. This is not an inexpensive "knock-off" of another mic; this is a genuine German-made Sennheiser.
