Dont have pictures but ill try to keep it short. Its a great mic and if you looking to use like dt 990 pros on console you can use them on the mv7x and itll work on the ps5 for sure. I thought that feature was nice to use on both pc and console. I use xlr mostly on pc and got a windscreen for it which is personal preference. If you are looking for something to use on multiple platforms this one hits it. The stand isnt bad but i lean back so i got a boom arm as well.

After upgrading from my Yeti to the MV7, the difference is day-and-night. The USB sound alone is phenomenal. Even so, I bit the bullet and purchased a Scarlett Solo interface to compliment the MV7 - it was worth every dime. If you're like me and you're wanting an upgrade from a sensitive condenser mic, the MV7 is perfect. If you're a content creator, gamer, podcaster, streamer or do voice overs, I'd dare call the MV7 perfect. It feels and sounds premium, which nearly justifies its price tag. However, it's not all rainbows and sunshine. For some reason, the MV7 uses a micro-USB connection, and includes both USB-A and USB-C conversion cables to connect to a device. It's almost an insult that it includes a micro-USB to USB-C cable - an acknowledgement of today's USB standards as Shure proceeds to use micro-USB nonetheless. It's a fragile, dated and inconvenient way of connecting devices. Moreover, the MV7 has a touch panel to modify gain & volume settings. The touch panel can be extremely finicky and awkward to reach. It feels like more of a gimmick than anything. After giving the touch panel a chance, I disabled it and have stuck to the software alternative. The MV7 could've been more affordable had Shure dropped the touch panel and went with solid analog controls. Micro-USB connections and touch panels aside, it's a fantastic mic! I'll give it 5 stars because it works well for my needs. If there were ten stars, I'd give it a 9/10, docking a star due to the micro-USB connection and unnecessary (although ambitious) touch panel

Bought this mic to replace a zoom H1N that I had been using as a desktop mic and I didn’t think there would be a huge difference in quality but there definitely is. I’ve used it on conference calls and in recorded videos and the sound quality is incredibly crisp and clear with a little more low-end to my nasally voice. On the down side, the mic is pretty big if you’re not used to a studio mic (which I wasn’t). It’s bigger than a can of soda. I ended up having to buy a new mic mount from Amazon to hang the mic over my monitor because having it sit on my desk or on a low profile mount was too cumbersome. I’m also not a huge fan of the touch controls at all, it’s too easy to hit mute or something else just by moving the mic. That said, these issues are minor and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy the MV7 again.

I bought this microphone the other week and my god it’s been amazing, super easy to setup super amazing sound quality and it even has its own software you can download online to customize it even more.

[Employee of bestbuy] Works like a treat and has a pretty on-mic interface for letting you know if you are peaking or too quiet. The mute button is a bit awkwardly placed when using a boom arm, as you kind of have to wedge your finger between the bracket to reach it. The back is large enough to grab for adjustments if you change your posture and want to keep it near your face. The choice of cables to connect with are very generous compared to most manufacturers. Best sells the Scarlett audio interfaces for relatively low price if you want to connect via an XLR cable.

Best & only mic you'll ever need. Crystal clear, easy to set up & use. App comes in handy but ready to use right out of the box!

Legit easy and our of the box. I also purchased the sure headphones which have great sound - too bulky for meetinfs but ok for podcast to level up your audio game

This mic is amazing. Full, great quality sound. Easy to connect. Great out of the box.

So far so good. I have tested this microphone for both music and spoken content. I’m very satisfied with the soft sibilance I get from it, which tends to be a huge problem for me with other microphones. While I wish the companion app had more presets to choose from, the three it provides (dark, natural and bright) have subtle nuances that makes them serviceable for many situations. The only downside is, as mentioned by many people, the decision to use micro USB. I hope it will not break for several years, which is typical for micro USB. Also, it’s worth noting the app it’s not compatible with USB-C iPads; you will have to pre-choose your settings on your computer. It also works perfectly with PS5 (I use it with Discord on PS5 for gaming sessions).

These are super high quality mics, I switched from the Yeti mic and am much happier. These pick up much less background noise and give a clear, crisp sound quality

I love this mic! The sound is awesome and makes me sound like I'm in a fancy studio. It's dramatically improved the audio for my podcast. Very pleased with this purchase.

Got the mic to test out and see what the hype is about but im currently loving it over my old mic definitely worth the extra money!!

Absolutely love this microphone. Makes streaming sound super smooth and professional!

I bought this because I wanted a more high-end mic than the Samson G-Track Pro (which I loved). The Shure MV7 exceeded expectations. I wasnt able to afford an XLR interface so the micro usb input was very convenient to have, though with the XLR input it has if I want to upgrade to an interface later I can. I recommend this mic to anyone.

Amazing sound quality! Had many different microphones more expensive and less expensive but this one is my favorite. Very clear sounding for gaming or just everyday business or making videos online. Highly impress with one don’t see how you could find someone wrong with it!

Hands down best mic for the price. I used it for a week with USB connection sounded amazing. I upgrade from a Blue Yeti and you can tell the difference. A week later i upgrade to the XLR setup........needless to say it got even better. Happy with purcahse!

I love my new microphone. This microphone is excellent.

I can conect with an Interface or just direct to my computer I let it do the work For computer need to download the sofware for more options

Best output sound, highly recommend for gaming, streaming and online class

As a recording engineer, I’m quite familiar with the Shure SM7B. It was a birthday gift last year, in fact! The Shure MV7 is the younger, shorter and slightly fatter version of it. It’s also more reasonable at $249, compared to the $399 price tag for its bigger brother. The greatest benefit of the MV7 is that you don’t need an audio interface to operate it, which means you save even more money. You can just plug it into your computer with the included USB cable and you’re ready to go. I consider this an advantage, because without an audio interface, there’s one less item on my desk, leaving more room for other things. It even comes with two different USB cables, USB-A and the more modern USB-C, which makes it compatible with many smartphone devices, in addition to your PC or Mac. If you prefer the old fashioned way, you can certainly plug an XLR cable into the mic and plug it into your true and tested audio interface. It will then operate as a regular dynamic microphone. Let’s talk about the most important aspect, the sound. I’m quite familiar with the response of an SM7B, and the MV7 is definitely sharing that same sonic quality. Remember that this microphone has a noticeable proximity effect, so if the low frequencies are overbearing, move away from the mic a few inches more, don’t reach for the low cut right away. This will benefit the sound tremendously. I was very impressed with the clarity and detail in my voice; very much like it’s older sibling. Speaking of the low cut, the MV7 encourages the use of an app called ShurePlus MOTIV to make any adjustments. The SM7B has physical switches for low cut and presence boost on the mic itself, but with the MV7, you have to change those settings virtually. I installed the app on my PC and Mac, and it worked fine on both. The settings are saved on the mic, so they were the same when I switched from my PC to Mac. You can use an auto setting that works pretty well, or you can have full control in manual mode, which allows you to change the mic gain, low cut, presence boost, limiter and compressor. Like an SM7B, you will probably have to crank the gain up a lot. When I stream, I have my mic 8 - 9 inches away from my face, and I had to crank it all the way up to get a proper level. The mic itself does have controls for volume and mute, but keep in mind that if you plug this in with an XLR cable rather than USB, you will not be able to use the onboard controls nor the app. This also applies to the headphone jack. No mic stand is included, but this mic has many uses, so it’s up to you to figure out the type of stand you need. Shure does offer a variety of options on their website to get you going in the right direction. If you’re a streamer or want to start a podcast, look no further as this is the mic for you. It’s designed to give both beginners and professionals everything they need to get that broadcast quality sound; fast, easy and affordable!
