Cheap but Useful

Sennheiser XS 1 Wired Dynamic Microphone Review

Sennheiser XS 1 Wired Dynamic Microphone

Aug 23, 2018

Reviewed by George on Guitar Center

I needed a microphone with and on/off switch for spoken word public address announcements. This mic fit the bill and was reasonably priced. The mic clip is plastic with plastic threads for attaching a microphone stand. It is likely that the plastic threads will strip out in time and a new clip will be required. The mic tone was suitable for spoken word with the note that there is considerable proximity effect, causing an increase in bass response when the mic is held close to a sound source. There is no low frequency roll off switch on the microphone body so a microphone preamp used should have a low shelf equalization to make the microphone useful. Seems to be a good value for the price. ... More

Great microphone. I use it when streaming "bedroom djing"...

So I use this mic for when I'm streaming my djing on Twitch and Youtube. I have the mic plugged into an XLR port on my Pioneer DDJ-SX2 and have the SX2 running to a Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio Interface connected to my streaming computer. The setup works create and you can hear me very well on the stream over the music and along side the music. I wouldn't hesitate to use this at a wedding or at a live music event for speaking or singing, etc. The mic feels durable and is a steal at this price. I believe it's still a Guitar Center exclusive. The on off switch is perfect and allows me to set down the mic without having to turn down the channel it's on. When I'm ready to say something again I just switch is on and it's still at the perfect volume level. Great mic at a great price! My voice reproductions is great on it as well.. I have a deep bassy voice fyi. ... More

I picked-up the Sennheiser XS 1 mic to use in place of nasty (germs) house mics. I am quite surprised at good sound quality from this entry level mic. Much better than the house mics, and compares well to my Sennheiser e935 and e835. Lyrics easily understood. The sound is more "bright" than "rich". After hearing this the karaoke DJ bought 3 new mics (Shure 58a) . I only sing 3 or 4 songs per gig, so the on mic on-off switch is needed. No switch noise. Good handling noise rejection. Looks good and has a nice professional heft. I will use for Weddings and parties , and not worry about the best man dropping my expensive mic. ... More

awesome mic.

This is a great, budget priced, mic. Works well for singing voices. Bought two of the same model some months ago, and when the need arises to add another voice, this mic was the obvious best choice.
