[QUOTE="Lee Brenkman, post: 10093, member: 154"] I have over a dozen Sennheiser E835 microphones and after several years of reliable service as an all purpose vocal and instrumental microphone two of them have recently stopped working, the second one just last night between two sets. So I go to the Sennheiser "Service Portal", create an account and password and check on their flat rate repair prices. I did this knowing from the past that their charges for repairs on MD 421s in the past closely approached the price of a new microphone. Here's what I found on the page of flat rate prices with the quoted price rounded up to the next dollar. MD421 $184.95 ($380 current average street price) 49% cost of new E845 $59.95 ($135 street) 44% E845S $59.95 ($150 street) 40% E835S $39.95 ($100-110 street) 36% of average And then: E835 $83.95! ($100-$120 street) 76% of the average street price! What is up with THAT? A premium price because it is their most popular Evolution series vocal microphone? This makes no sense to me. Particularly when I can buy a three pack of the same microphone for about $250. Comment form anyone at Sennheiser USA would be interesting. [/QUOTE]
