Sennheiser MD 42 Kugelmikrofon. Unbenutzt.
Timing is irrelevant here because the MD 42 is a classic, unmodernized dynamic microphone with no direct replacement, so finding one in “new” (EUR) condition is the real upside. At €100, this is a strong bargain: it sits well below the 25th percentile of €78 from our database of 66 recent EUR listings, and far under the median of €143, making it an excellent deal for a pristine unit.
The MD 42 is a highly respected workhorse known for its smooth, detailed midrange and tight low-end, ideal for vocals, guitar amps, and brass. Its rugged build and consistent performance have kept it in studios for decades. Since this is listed as new (EUR), you avoid the age-related risks (capsule wear, cable fatigue) common to used units, and you likely get original accessories intact—making this a clean buying opportunity at a price that rewards early action.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Founded in June 1945 by Dr. Fritz Sennheiser in a farmhouse near Hanover, Germany, Sennheiser began as Laboratorium Wennebostel, producing voltmeters and early microphones amid post-World War II reconstruction. Seven engineers from the University of Hannover joined the founder, quickly pivoting to broadcast microphones like the DM 2 in 1946 and the groundbreaking MD 82 shotgun mic in 1956. Renamed Sennheiser electronic in 1958, the family-owned company passed to second- and third-generation leadership, maintaining its innovative spirit over eight decades.
Sennheiser excels in professional and consumer audio, renowned for microphones, wireless systems, and headphones that set industry standards. Pioneers of the first open-back headphones (HD 414 in 1968) and enduring studio icons like the MD 421 and MD 441, they also produce high-end headphones, earbuds, soundbars, and conferencing solutions. While strong in pro audio like mixers and geophysical gear, their consumer focus centers on headphones and wireless tech rather than amplifiers, speakers, turntables, DACs, or cables.
Sennheiser commands a premium position in the hi-fi market, blending mid-tier accessibility with high-end excellence for discerning buyers and professionals. Trusted for reliability and sonic precision, it appeals to audiophiles seeking reference-grade headphones without boutique obscurity, backed by a heritage of technological firsts that sustains its global leadership.
