  • This mic made me love my voice
Color: White Style: Gen 2 - MV7+ (USB + XLR)
The media could not be loaded. As someone who has been recording with gaming mics and phone-quality audio for most of my life, I can confidently say that the Shure MV7+ is a game-changer. This is my first professional microphone, and it has truly transformed the way I capture my voice. Previously, I was never satisfied with how my voice sounded in videos and recordings. The audio quality was subpar, and it often left me feeling frustrated and disheartened. With the Shure MV7+ microphone, everything changed. The clarity and richness of my voice recordings are now on a whole new level. The microphone does an exceptional job of capturing the nuances of my voice, allowing me to express myself with greater confidence and authenticity. I have fallen in love with how my voice sounds, and it has reignited my passion for recording. The build quality of the Shure MV7+ is impressive. The microphone feels solid and well-constructed, giving me confidence that it will last for years to come. It's clear that Shure put a lot of thought and care into the design, ensuring that it not only looks professional but also performs exceptionally well. Despite its premium price tag, the microphone does not disappoint. It delivers on its promises and provides excellent value for money. One of the standout features of the Shure MV7+ is its versatility. Whether I'm recording a podcast, streaming, or creating voice-over content, this microphone excels in all scenarios. It offers both USB and XLR connectivity, making it compatible with a wide range of devices and setups. The intuitive touch panel controls allow for easy adjustments to gain, monitoring volume, and more, without the need for additional software. In conclusion, I highly recommend the Shure MV7+ for anyone looking to level up their voice recordings. It's an investment that pays off in spades, providing high-quality audio that can elevate your content and enhance your overall recording experience. ... show more

  • Absolutely amazing results for the price
Color: black Style: Gen 1 - MV7X (XLR Only)
I’m using the Shure MV7X primarily for podcasting, YouTube, Discord, and gaming. I have this microphone plugged into a Focusrite Scarlett 4th Gen interface (since it’s XLR, you’ll need an interface to use it). From there, it’s basically plug-and-play. I’ve been an audio engineer for 10 years, and honestly, this is one of the best budget-friendly “talking” mics I’ve come across for voice work. Even in an untreated room, it sounds amazing—crisp, professional, and way more polished than I expected. I regularly use it for recording videos, podcasting, and chatting on Discord, and the quality is so good it feels like I’m working in a treated studio. To get the best results, I use EqualizerAPO to adjust the EQ, compression, and noise gate. You don’t have to do this, but every voice is different, so a little tweaking helps bring out the mic’s full potential. The noise gate, in particular, is a lifesaver for blocking out keyboard clicks or other random noises. Plus, the cardioid pattern (directional audio) is excellent—it only picks up what’s directly in front of it and ignores everything else. Straight out of the box, this mic already sounds professional. But with a bit of fine-tuning, it can really shine. I have mine on a desktop stand, and it works perfectly for my setup. If you’re looking for a high-quality mic for podcasts, YouTube, or gaming, I’d 100% recommend the Shure MV7X. It’s affordable, easy to use, and punches well above its weight in terms of sound quality. ... show more

  • straight-up beast
Color: Black Style: Gen 2 - MV7+ (USB + XLR)
The Shure MV7+ is a straight-up beast. Sound quality is super clean, and it cuts out background noise like a pro. USB works great, but you can go XLR if you want to level up. The software makes it easy to dial in the perfect settings, and the build is solid. Looks clean, sounds amazing—definitely worth it if you want a legit mic for streaming, podcasting, or whatever. ... show more

  • Amazing vocal sound, sturdy, but touch controls need improvement - average WFH "Zoom-dweller" review
Color: Gray Style: Gen 1 - MV7 (USB + XLR)
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
