Sennheiser has always been a brand known for its quality audio products, especially when in terms of headphones. In fact, the company’s products are thought so high of, that Sennheiser remains the product of choice for many professionals. We are not only talking about local DJs or sound engineers either, as some of the biggest and best names in entertainment are all proud to declare their loyalty to the company, and fondness for its products. Indeed, as the summer festival season currently kicks off in full swing, Sennheiser is the preferred brand of microphone of many artists currently on tour.

Sennheiser’s audio expertise extends from earphones, headphones, PC-headsets, all the way to microphones. Moreover, the company’s adept and advanced microphones are often overlooked by the average consumer who believes the company’s expertise lies only in headphones. Not so, as the most demanding consumers, for whom quality sound makes the difference between a successful concert and an unsuccessful one, couldn’t be more adamant about the benefits of using Sennheiser brand microphones.

The brand’s dominance is quite apparent at many festivals. One such festival is Glastonbury, where the mic was used by multiple bands, including, Mark Ronson, Editors, the Hoosiers, Kings of Leon, The Raconteurs, and many more. Sennheiser has also conquered other major festivals in the UK, including the O2 Wireless Festival, where headliners Jack Johnson and the Goo Goo Dolls both opted for Sennheiser microphones, and the Hard Rock Calling Festival. One might think musicians do not pay too much attention to the type of audio set up at a concert, or the brand of microphone being used, however, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. The lead guitarist of Psycho Baby specifically noted how amazing the Sennheiser E 935 sounded, and how he had never used it on stage before.

As already mentioned, the renowned brand has become noticed by performers and concert managers alike, with many touring artists choosing to exclusively use Sennheiser brand microphones. For instance, Alicia Keys, the world famous R&B singer, is using the ultra-high-end Sennheiser SKM 5200 mic for her August tour. Meanwhile, other performers, such as the lead vocalist of the band Editors, espouse the company’s reliability and consistency with its audio products as being a huge advantage. The monitor engineer of the successful UK artist MC Kano also feels that the Sennheiser brand 935 mic goes especially well with Kano’s vocals. Clearly, Sennheiser has not just made a name for itself among average consumers, but also among elite musicians and professionals who refer to the company’s products as the best. The brand’s popularity is definitely due to its high standards, and stands as the best testament to its quality.
