Top Amazon Reviews


  • Amazing vocal sound, sturdy, but touch controls need improvement - average WFH "Zoom-dweller" review
Color: Silver Style: Gen 1
I'll start right off by saying that the Shure MV7 is an excellent USB microphone, as the vocal clarity and general audio output are an (obvious) upgrade over your average laptop's internal mic. This is marketed as a podcast microphone, though even I am not one of the users in that camp. Instead, I just needed a quality USB microphone for both video conferencing meetings and to record lectures at my college. My previous USB mic was a Zoom H1 recorder, and after weeks of online meetings day in and day out, I started to realize how much better these meetings would go without being asked repeatedly by a coworker to repeat myself or intermittently telling me that they have a hard time hearing me. So by no means am I an audio engineer with enough knowledge for a deep critique on the MV7's audio output (I'll let the other Amazon reviewers handle that area!), but Shure's creators don't intend for this to replace their higher end mics, such as the SM7B. Despite the fact that there is an XLR connection here, the MV7 isn't meant for those trying to get perfect, industry studio-quality sound or music recordings, but that's the point. Instead, if you're needing a mic for podcasting, live-streaming, or surviving Zoom calls, this is one of the best options out there, with enough monitoring options and room for configuration to get the most out of this gorgeous piece of hardware. The whole construction of the mic, right down to the attached mounting bracket, feels incredibly sturdy and premium. Despite only a few days of usage as of writing this review, I have very little concern about its long-term durability. Even the back, metal-rimmed headphone jack port has better quality than what you'll find in most laptops these days (if they include one, of course). Knowing users may opt for a desk microphone arm stand, the included USB cables are thankfully long. When you plug it in via USB, it takes a few seconds to register on your computer each time; there's a row of green lights that breathe while this happens. As a small note, I plan to purchase an arm stand in the future, but for now I have an On-Stage desktop stand that fits perfectly with this mic. It's a simple stand, but I recommend it nonetheless. As I mentioned earlier, I can't speak to the nuances of the MV7's audio quality compared to those who've actually had experience in the studio or recorded with decent sound mixing knowledge. But from my perspective of being the average person working from home and having a day filled with online meetings and lectures, I'm very impressed with how my voice sounds from this mic. Not only does my voice sound crystal clear, but even the echoes bouncing from my high ceilings and the inevitable street noise from outside my window are nowhere to be heard when I record audio from the MV7. Vocals are top priority for this product, hence the brand's naming of this being a podcast microphone. I do agree with Engadget's Devinda Hardawar - one of the first tech writers who wrote about the MV7 - that the plosives, or the "p" sounds, don't sound as perfect as you'd hope compared to what you normally hear in broadcast audio vocals or some high-profile live streamers, but that could very well because of my own loud, bright voice. Likewise, an additional pop filter mask may alleviate this very minor distortion. The software Shure recommends you use is ShurePlus MOTIV, a desktop app available for free on their website. The desktop app is useful enough for users like me, as they include Auto Level settings, which includes configuring for vocal tone and adjusting for microphone position, and Manual settings that allow you adjust the audio gain, EQ, and amount of sound compression. You can save presets and, for macOS at least, the MOTIV app automatically recognizes the Shure MV7 device once you plug it into the computer. Those looking to configure every single frequency and fine-tune the settings even deeper should look beyond MOTIV. In the near future, I hope to update this review with more scientific audio tests, ones that include both USB and XLR output (I'm still looking for the right audio interface). If there's one gripe I have to make about the Shure MV7 so far, it's that I'm not a fan of the touch interface built on the mic. There were plenty of instances where I had to tap an icon or swipe the volume slider multiple times in order for it to respond. The buttons, themselves, also could be bigger, because they were small even for my slim fingers to tap without accidentally touching the adjacent volume slider too. Though not entirely bad, I question why Shure didn't just go with physical controls, such as the volume dial seen in the Blue Yeti Pro. Buttons, whether touch-enabled or physical, aren't exactly needed, since the aforementioned ShurePlus MOTIV app is available, and contains the same controls along with a whole lot more options. Even the location of the touch panel won't suit everyone. I imagine some users might be used to grabbing the middle of the mic to adjust the angle - and the middle just so happens to be where the touch panel is located. Fortunately, you can actually go without ever needing to use the controls if you end up not loving them like me: holding both the Mute icon and the Monitor mix icon for at least two seconds will lock the whole touch panel, indicated by a red light next to a lock icon on the same panel. Of course, it's a matter of successfully getting those two icons to respond first! Perhaps Shure may release firmware that improves these touch controls in the future. Everything else about the Shure MV7, though, is near-perfect. I think having a microphone like this for your computer really makes working with meetings from home much more manageable. The $249 price tag is a worthy investment and easily beats whatever laptop internal mic or cheap, uncomfortable headset you've been stuck with. I'll update this review as time progresses, but for now I give it my highest recommendation! [An important warning when first unboxing: for me, the screws holding the mic to the mounting bracket were NOT tightly fastened out of the box. One could easily hold it by the bracket and unknowingly cause the mic to wobble out and drop. Hopefully this is not the case for everyone, but you should keep that in mind when before grabbing the mic from the packaging for the first time; hold it by the mic, not the bracket!] ... show more

  • Best mic I’ve ever owned!
Color: Black Style: Gen 2
I got this mic to replace my elgato wave dx! I’m not disappointed in the slightest. I bought this mv7+ because of all the features it had like the active noise suppression and built in pop stopper and auto gain leveling. It works like a dream and I sound the best I have ever sounded since doing my YouTube channel. The active noise suppression is excellent. I have a loud studio because I live in an apartment complex and the ac fans run right outside my window and I have a fan running with ac fans running in my studio and this blocks it all out without taking away the quality or sound of my voice. It still picks up every little detail while giving 100% noise cancellation. Setup is a breeze and controlling it with the app is perfect. I’ve never been happier with a microphone. The quality is unmatched. This is definitely my new forever mic! Don’t hesitate, and buy this NOW for your setup whatever it may be! ... show more

  • Excellent
Color: Black Style: Gen 2
I initially had a Rode Video Mic Go II that wouldn’t recognize my USB ports for some reason, so I decided to replace it with the Shure MV7+, and I’m thrilled with the results. The Shure MV7+ works flawlessly with my USB hub, where the Rode failed. It’s excellent at reducing background ambient noise like Case and rack fans, even without any additional Shure software installed. It was truly plug-and-play. OBS recognized it instantly without any issues. The only thing I’m not a fan of is the LED lighting on the mic, but that’s easily fixable with a piece of black electrical tape. Aside from that, this mic is fantastic! I’m especially excited about the inclusion of USB-C finally, in 2024, a Shure mic with USB-C! Honestly, that upgrade was the highlight for me. Overall, it’s a great microphone, and I couldn’t be happier! ... show more

  • What a perfect mic
The Shure MV7 (Limited Edition) USB/XLR Dynamic Microphone is an amazing piece of equipment. This microphone is perfect for podcasting, streaming, and voiceovers. The build quality is top-notch and the sound quality is simply outstanding. One of the things I love about the MV7 is the dual USB/XLR output. This means you can connect it to your computer via USB, or to a mixer or audio interface via XLR. This is great if you want the flexibility to record in different environments. The MV7 also has a built-in headphone jack with zero-latency monitoring, which is really helpful if you're recording in a noisy environment. The MV7 has a cardioid polar pattern, which helps to reduce background noise and focus on the sound source. This is great if you're recording in a noisy environment, or if you want to isolate the sound of a single person. The microphone also has a built-in shock mount that helps to reduce handling noise, which is great if you're using it in a mobile setting. The sound quality of the MV7 is simply amazing. The microphone has a frequency response that's tailored for speech, which means your voice will sound clear and natural. The MV7 also has a built-in compressor and EQ that help to shape the sound, which is great if you want to add a little extra warmth or presence to your voice. Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase of the Shure MV7 (Limited Edition) USB/XLR Dynamic Microphone. It's a high-quality microphone that's versatile, easy to use, and produces excellent sound quality. If you're in the market for a new microphone, I highly recommend giving the MV7 a try. ... show more
