Customer Review Summary
The Sennheiser E 908 B EW System is a remarkable microphone, particularly well-suited for brass instruments such as trumpets and saxophones. After four years of use, the sound quality is consistently impressive, capturing all frequencies with clarity, especially the high notes. The design includes a solid clip that securely attaches to the instrument without causing scratches, ensuring both stability and ease of use.
However, there are some concerns regarding the durability of the cables and connectors. Users have reported issues with the mini-jack connectors becoming loose over time, which can lead to damage. Additionally, while the microphone itself provides excellent audio quality, there have been instances of the cable’s shielding becoming exposed near the capsule, necessitating careful handling.
Many musicians appreciate the lightweight nature of the microphone, which allows for easy mobility during performances. The flexible gooseneck design enhances positioning, making it suitable for various brass players. Despite some fragility in the cable, the overall sound reproduction is highly regarded, making it a solid choice for live applications.
In terms of value, the price is considered reasonable given the quality. However, users should be aware that the unique connector system may limit compatibility with other brands, necessitating the use of specific Sennheiser equipment or adapters.
Overall, the Sennheiser E 908 B EW System is a top-notch microphone that excels in sound quality and ease of use, making it an excellent investment for any brass musician.
