Customer Ratings & Reviews

This mic works best with an interface. I used this only using the usb cable and the sound quality for my audio book was so faint, even with the volume on the mic turned up. Please use with interface for better results. Overall, this is a very prestigious mic. Shure never lets me down. I just didn't want to spend an extra money for the interface.

One of the clearest and best microphones I’ve ever used

One of the best products. The quality is really good.

Sounds amazing without the super expensive extra equipment for it so i would definitely recommend!

Great mic for beginner and even experienced podcasters

Great mic for voiceovers! We use it daily and has not disappointed.

The best USB mic hands down! Personally I feel it’s just as good as the sm7b! And if you have the mixer the mv7 can be plugged in as well. So it’s best of both worlds.

Super good mic with good quality and better than other mics

Works good. I don’t know if it’s worth $400. But it’s good for plug and play.

Better than Blue Yeti X. Design is great and it works perfectly great

I have used all kinds of mics and if you want simple, easy-to-use, good support and sound.. this mic is really a great value for its price..

I've used this for voiceovers and it really delivers clear sound, but a little low in volume. I have to adjust the volume in post-production. Still, it's a very professional mic for reasonably cheap that delivers good results. Love that it comes with a stand.

Pro: Good tones USB and XLR Background noise rejection Monitor out with USB mode Simple to use app Includes long both USB C and micro USB cables Con: Quiet compared to other USB mics Touch strip Limiter is weak Micro USB The build quality is what I’d expected from Shure. It’s heavy and solid, and feels like a high quality product. There’s a touch strip to control mic and monitoring level. The USB, XLR, and headphone out are on the bottom. The main negative is that it still uses micro USB. It includes two long cables, one micro to USB A, and another to USB C. This is my first dynamic mic, so I still need to play with the audio levels more, but so far the audio is nice. Currently I’m only using it as a USB mic, but even with that, it has more of a deep, warm, broadcasting tone compared to my last mic. However, it seems much quieter than my condenser mic. Even with the mic volume at max, and me just a few inches away, I still had to add gain for it to be on the same level as my previous mic. This mic rejects most noise that’s not directly in front of it, so the background rejection is very good. It won’t pick up much ambient noise, but it will still pick up some voices from across the room. Plosives can be an issue and it may need a better pop filter. Being both USB and XLR, it should be able to output to two different recording devices with the proper setup. The headphone jack on the mic only works when using it with USB. The touch strip, while works fine, is more cumbersome to use during recording sessions. Unlike a physical button, you have to actively look for the spot to touch. The volume control is not a 1 to 1, meaning you have to swipe multiple times versus a simple turning of a knob. You can also end up tapping the mic while doing so. The Motiv App is user friendly, and a good starting point for audio settings. With auto mode, it determines the EQ and gain based on whether the mic is set at near or far. You can pick between dark, natural, or bright for how your voice is enhanced. The manual mode gives you more control and let’s you set gain, preset EQ patterns, adding a limiter, and compression. The preset does a good job, but I got better results doing it myself in a recording app. The limiter doesn’t work as well. It mainly keeps the sound from really maxing out but doesn’t do that great at keeping it from being too loud. It’s a good mic, with rich tones. Having both XLR and USB makes it versatile. It’s a quiet mic compared to what I’ve used before so I needed to add more gain. I wish the USB out was a USB C rather than micro since that’s the standard now. The touch strip was more of a hassle for me, but it works. The included app is simple and good for a quick start or for anyone that doesn’t want to mess with sound settings. As long as I can adjust the gain and EQ, I like the overall end result.

great mic other then the fact that the Shure software reset my setting every time I restart my pc it works great

I’ve had a couple different usb microphones for my PC and this one is by far the best. So easy to use and the sound quality is second only to the Shure SM7B.

This mic is superb. It will soon be talked about with the same superlatives given about its older brother. East set up and it produced great sound.

Fantastic usb/xlr mic with simple to use software. A must for any streamer or podcaster that doesn’t need the more expensive model.

Got this for my teenage son for his birthday and he absolutely loves it. Takes gaming and streaming to much higher level. Thanks!

Terrible pre-amp, which means you literally have to practically have the mic IN your mouth for any sound to be recorded. At first I thought I just didn't have the settings correct. But I adjusted the gain, and used the suggested software wtih this mic. STILL no volume. I then thought that, surely, I just got a lemon, and that this was not a usual thing for this mic. But after reading reviews here and elsewhere, a fairly decent percentage of these mics have this exact same issue. One reviewer on another site said he exchanged the mic three times before getting one that didn't have this issue. I don't have time to monkey around with that. I'm returning it and paying the higher price for a quality EVRE 20 mic.

Works great. I am using it to record some courses on my desk top and it captures sound really well.
