  You'll like it. It's a big step up in the presence and highs from the e835! Very clear.

  The Sennheiser e945 was indeed a step up from the e835... and night and day apart from a Shure SM58!
  It was capable of accepting allot more volume without feeding back, and rejected everything to the sides. It didn't have the weird proximity boom at all, as I tend to like to get all up in my mic's grill
  The presence/definition was far more pronounced, I noticed this while I was playing in the form of hearing more of my nuances and being able to track pitch even better.
  
  An unexpected side-effect was that I felt more comfortable to cut back the air more than normal (Old normal was on the verge of over-singing due to monitor levels)... but because I was able to hear myself so much better, I was becoming more confident to cut back the air even more. I think the challenge is to remember fully to engage it during a clean song like "Learnin to Fly" by the Foo Fighters.
  
  I have become a firm believer that your microphone is every bit as much an instrument as your guitar/drums/bass/keyboards. You have to learn the dynamics of each, so why would I think a microphone be any different?? After one rehearsal, I started feeling allot more comfortable with the Sennheiser e945, I just have to incorporate what I learned from using it. This is where recording your rehearsals/performances is essential!
  
  Obviously the Sen e945 is amazing live, but I would even go as far as to say that it is probably good enough for the studio!
  
  Peace out,
  
  Phillip
