yes the 875r is a great mic, and you almost get the sound of the 416 with a very much cheaper price. We recommended to anybody. of course nothing beats the 416 but this is a great alternative.
The fake Chinese ones from Ali Express don't have "Sennheiser" written on them at the moment. They are advertised as "MKH416's" only, hoping no one will notice
I have both boxes, the serial number is 56000 higher on the all black box. The lower serial number has a few scratches from handling. Both have incredible sound. My only comparisons are a Sennhieser MKH 70, a Sony ECM-678, A Rode NTK studio mic and an Audio Technica AT3035. All sound good, but both MKH 416’s just sound so much better and the pickup pattern is incredible with excellent rejection.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, All right, an update to your video. I think your MKH 416 is real because I can hear a sibilance. And a lot of people who buy this microphone, sometimes they have this s that is more pronouced. Like, I have an NTG3. And when compared to an MKH416, there's more clarity. There's more S's going on. You can hear a little bit of more clarity on the MKH416. And automatically, when you plugged in your MKH416, I noticed that the S sound was a little better than on the audio technica that you were using. So I would say it sounds real, for sure.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, Can't wait to get mine, I currtly own a Rode NTG3, a C414 LTD, and Shure SM7b. I want a U87, and the MKH 416 for sure. Great video by the way! Very informative.
Thank you for making this video! I bought a fake one and couldn’t figure out why it didn’t sound very good and had a ton of self noise. I thought it was my DAW or interface settings. Telltale signs were brass pins and no set screw to remove the housing. Oh…and the sound.
When you do your tests, please test them at a considerable distance (like the distance you would have to film a scene without the microphone invading the frame). I think that can be a considerable difference between the Audio Technica and the Sennheiser, the ability to be really directional and discard room reflections and other noises.
You might as well buy it new since used you only save not even 10%. When/if you sell it, it's only a $100 rental fee. Easily worth $100 for the peace of mind new from a dealer.
Fist you said you can call in to Sennheiser with the serial number to find out if it's a fake and then you said. you called and they said that you would have to send it in?
sir i also have a doubt that mine is original or not . As it come in a Blue and Grey colored sennheiser named box instead of a grey cardboard box .Is that Fake??? when i looked in unboxing videos all are having grey Cardboard box . please help me...

would have loved to see an actual fake though.
