Unlucky purchase
Unfortunately, I bought the 3pack bundle and, after a couple of gigs, 2 of them had the same issue.
When inserting the XLR connector (carefully, by me) the grill detached from the housing, and so did the cartridge.
Important to mention:
*The mics were always carried on a Flyth Pro case with custom foam inserts;
*Always mounted and connected properly, and only by myself;
*The grills are intact. They were not smashed by the sticks or anything else;
*I have used other e604s in the past and never had any problem with them.
The glue cord used to seal the mic is so thin it cannot hold the parts in place properly.
I believe it is a defected serie. Already submitted them to the RMA warranty process.
Anyway, never expected this from Sennheiser.
The sound quality of this mics is known for years. I am pleased by the sound specs but overall they are useless with damaged housing.

Nice !
E604 are a must-have on stage, nobody will talk discuss about them. You can use them with almost all bands, they are not to expensive, they sound's good and they are durable. Only the handles could be done better - from a little bit tougher ABS and with a small grip on front so applying them on drum would be easier even with one hand. Of course on other instruments they still sound great, but I use them mainly on drums. Great deal.

The best tom mics for live!
Nobody should be without e604's when micing drums live. They are the most natural, snappy tom mics I have come across that sound universally great in every venue, in every PA system.
The clips and small format are perfect for space saving, mic placement, and generally do not get in the way of the drums, unlike some other brands.
The only issue I have come accross is the grills can be easily knocked off by a strike from a drum stick, and are difficult to repair properly after. Otherwise indistructable, and in 10 years I have only seen one of them break from an idiot drummer standing on one!
Highly reccomended, don't bother with anything else for live!

Great live, good for recording
I have used E604s on countless gigs for years, but never actually owned any.
They are super easy to clip on and are fairly small and will not get in the way of things in a live situation. I have used them a lot for recordings with great result. comparing cost and sound quality it is hard to beat. Will keep using these for many more years to come.
Sound-wise they are nice and clear on the toms, with plenty "meat" on the lower frequencies ,in my case 14" and 16" floor toms. (For the one on my 10" tom I boost it a bit on the highs, and my 12" and 13" toms I keep the high boost and add a little on the mids, and the 14" +16" get the low end boost as well a bit of compression.
They are also very useful as a snare-side mic, and as vocal mic for drummers (very small mic and can be put on a mic stand behind you)
Pros: sound quality, durability and cost.
Cons: would be great if you could use angled xlrs, but for that to work the mic would have to be set at the very top of the clip, whereas the best result(in my opinion) is achieved when having the mic closer to the drumhead.

Sennheiser good as always!
Again I bought another 3-pack e604 for my small company.
Excellent, very small so it can be placed without disturbing the drummer. Sounds REALLY good on the toms and snare.
Also used it for trombone and trumpet, also sounding very good. Detailed but not harsh.
One of my favorite dynamic in my company's locker for percussion and also trombone and trumpet!

High quality affordable mics
After a couple of weeks with the Sennheisers e604 on my kit now i am verry happy with the purchase. Great sounding little mics for its price and very easy to mount due to the rim clip-on holders !

Industry standard
Great deal on this 3Pack. They work great, really discrete, don't get in way while playing. Practical mounts that even work on complicated Tama Star Mount rack tom mounts (you pull the tom up and then you squeeze in the mount). Great sound and versatility.

Probably the best value for money drum mics in the market
Use : Both studio and Live but i think they work better at live stages on the toms
Pros : Value for money
excellent sound
easy to position with the included drum clamp
sennheiser is well known for their quality products
Cons : None so far
Most of the drummers you see on Youtube use the e604 especially on their toms. So i decided to give them a try and i must say that they are the absolute value for money drum mics.
