I did my research and read many reviews on quite a few different brush cleaners. The power dock is nice since it is just two metal contacts that touch -- no need to fiddle with cords or plugs - GOOD! I evaluated both feedback from the side and back and made a subjective evaluation of this and the polar pattern, and my perception tells me the e945 has a fairly broad pattern for a supercardioid, about the same as what many cardioid mics like the SM58 have. Cost isnt really a barrier. Suitable for decorative pillow. the blue rays were in great shape and they arrived on time. I dont make phone calls on headsets/phones--its rare. Same durability6. She said is good sound quality. It went together in 10 mins or less with just the Allen wrench it comes with.
