The Sennheiser MD 441 is an outstanding microphone for noisy stages and easily stands in for the Sennheiser MD 445 when I need to cut through the mix and get maximum gain before feedback. It's an odd nod to nostalgia and showmanship.
The Sennheiser MD 441 has not displaced the Sennheiser MD 445 that I can toss into a gig bag. I might be more discerning about where I'd use the MD 441. Neumann KMS 105 which is still my go to microphone for solo shows or quiet concerts. But when I need to be heard in a loud band setting and want to make a visual statement too, I'll set up the Sennheiser MD 441.
As you should expect from a super cardioid microphone, you want to sing directly into it. However, if you read the instruction manual, there's a hint. When using the brilliance switch, sing over the microphone instead of directly into it.
It has a lift in the upper midrange and details in the highs that comes close to sounding like a good condenser microphone. This also helps me to project, compete, and be heard in a busy stage mix.
