Which mic is better for vocals live?
Ultimately, it will depend on your voice. To me I like the sennheiser better, because

A) It sounds damn good live
B) Its not a shure that everyone else has. (gonna get flamed for that one!)


Plus, I got a great deal on a set for 4 e845s for the price of 2! So that didn't hurt!
 
58---not!

I have to admit I prefer the e835. In almost every situation, it just sounds better.
 
it depends on the voice. the 835 is better for me. on 2 of the guys in my band, the 58s are better. and on another one of the guys, neither works well--an ev 357 is the ticket for him.


YMMV

I have always used an Audix OM2 for live vocals. One of my bandmates has a Senn e835, and he has had nothing but problems. Maybe he just got a crappy one.
 
I found the e835 to be too bright/sibilant on my voice (baritone) for most stuff. It required too much corrective EQ to make it sound ok. I use an SM57 with a windscreen for live stuff.
 
I prefer SM57 on most instruments and e835 on most vocals.-Richie
