The Sennheiser EW 165 G3's distinction is its use of a condenser mic capsule, which allows for a wider frequency response than conventional dynamic microphones. This wider frequency response allows for more sonic nuances and improved clarity, which many vocalists prefer.

Combining this highly sensitive mic with a reliable wireless system makes for a great mic that captured the hearts of many of its users. It features a fully programmable receiver, with twenty frequency banks and 12 preset frequencies each, allowing for quick setups. There's also a special sound check mode that lets you check the RF signal and audio discretely.

Many were very happy with the Sennheiser EW 165 G3's overall performance, but most of the praises came from singers and vocalists who felt that they sounded and performed better with this mic. Ease of use and reliability were also pointed out along with its solid construction.

If you're looking for a high quality wireless condenser microphone then the Sennheiser EW 165 G3 is a worthy investment.
