Hi,
I am looking for clips that fits Sennheiser microphones (441, 421).
Are there any cheaper alternatives then the original ones?
Thank you

No. BUT.... if you call Sennheiser and ask them for the shock mounts
for those microphones, they are available and they are much more reliable
than the originals.

The shock mount for the 441 is a flexible rubberlike plastic thing that
the microphone slides into. It does not clip into place. This mount will
not break when the microphone stand is dropped like the original one does,
and it will not be broken by performers wrenching the microphone out without
releasing the lock.

The shock mount for the 421 is a pair of metal pans held together by a
suspension band. The band will break someday, and you can replace it easily.
It will not break at the microphone end the way the original 421 clip will.

These clips are not appreciably cheaper than the original clips for the mikes,
but they will save you a lot of money in the long run because they won't fail
like the original ones do.

What about some other clip frt the 441... Are there some "squared" ones
around?
Maybe I shall try the ones for the AKG C1000... I remember they are huge....

I don't know, really. But the shockmount for the 441 is great. It is a
little cheaper than the regular mount, and it works.

Don't do it. Get the 441 shockmount and you'll never need to replace it.

I just broke down and bought a new clip for the 441. It is
thankfully not at all like the original. I did not know that it was
considered a shock mount, although it does fit your description.

Does the 421 shock mount come with the slide in clip? I just
assumed that it did not.
