Customer Ratings & Reviews

As someone who wanted to jump into podcasting without feeling overwhelmed by tech, the Shure MV7+ Podcast Kit has been an absolute game-changer. From the first unboxing to my latest recording, this kit feels thoughtfully designed to enhance creativity, not complicate it. What Makes It Stand Out? • Voice-Focused Design: The MV7’s tone-capturing ability feels like it was built to amplify authenticity. Whether I’m recording solo thoughts or guest conversations, it captures the nuances of my voice that cheaper mics tend to flatten or miss entirely. • Comfortable Setup for Long Sessions: The included boom arm isn’t just sturdy—it’s smooth and easy to reposition quietly. If you’ve ever struggled with clunky stands that pick up every adjustment noise, this is a pleasant surprise. • Seamless USB + XLR Integration: I’ve already used the USB mode for quick recordings, but knowing I can switch to XLR gives me the freedom to grow my setup over time. It feels like this mic evolves with me. • Silent Performer: This mic filters out background hums better than I expected. Recording in a home office with kids in the next room, the noise isolation is impressive without any heavy post-editing. What I Didn’t Expect: • Connection with the MOTIV App: I was skeptical about needing an app at first, but the ShurePlus MOTIV software has become a quiet hero in my workflow. With the Auto Level feature, I can focus more on content rather than obsessing over gain adjustments—especially when I’m in the flow of recording. • Surprising Portability: While it looks and feels like a studio mic, it’s surprisingly easy to disassemble and take on the go. Whether I’m traveling or working on-location, this kit travels light without compromising quality. The Shure MV7+ Podcast Kit isn’t just equipment—it’s a creative companion. If you’re someone who wants gear that stays out of your way while helping you sound your best, this kit delivers. Every recording session feels more like a conversation and less like a technical chore, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

The Shure MV7+C/XLR Dynamic Podcast Microphone was a game changer for me. Why? While you can plug this XLR Microphone into a phantom mixing board, the real value in this microphone is that it is a USB-C Microphone allowing you to plug it directly into an M2, M3, or M4 MacBook Air or MacBook Pro and the power comes directly from the Mac! Next? You can plug a Headset into the Shure Microphone directly on the bottom and YOU can hear it directly exactly how you sound. How does the Shure Microphone sound? It sounds fantastic like you are in a big radio recording studio. So yeah, if you want a real plug and play solution, this is the microphone for you.* *The MOTIV Software has a little bit of a learning curve and even if you don't use the included, the microphone still works flawlessly.

My first mic ever for streaming and I’m happy i invested in such a great portable mic! Sounds great & you can easily connect it to your phone/laptop

Great mic easy to use beginner friendly & is a great alternative to the more expensive models from Shure. USB-C connection as well as XLR so whether you’re creating content for podcasting or making music this mic can handle the task. I also like the mute feature as well as the light indicator on the mic. You wont regret this purchase

I loooove this microphone. I was trying to be cheap before and purchased several of the low-price end ones, but the sound on here is unbeatable. The fact that it has both USB-C and XLR connections is the bomb.

Upgraded from the Shure MV6. There was a noticeable difference in quality, both physical design and sound quality. Highly recommend to anyone who cares about quality microphones and wants the added bonus of type C plug and play on top of the XLR option.

Its a good mic, doesnt need an EQ, this mic is meant to capture your raw voice. I love it this version because it comes with a built-in mute button like the quadcast which this is replacing.

Excellent microphone, really good if you’re a podcast person or those content creator. Gave it to my wife as a gift and she loves it .

I do not do podcasts, casual gaming. In conference meetings are my primary. Use cases, and this is overkill, but I absolutely love it. I may start recording a little bit. The software is very intuitive and the default settings work for most things I do.

Great mic, stepped up my game in the content creating world. Easily connects to a J5 Create dual moniter dongle then into my 2024 Mac mini.

Really loving this mic. Very easy to use and set up. The auto level feature is very nice, but it can pick up a lot of outside sounds. The free motiv app is great, has a lot of great features like a Dser and the bright and dark tone adjuster. Overall would recommend.

Incredible microphone! The Shure MV7+ delivers crystal-clear sound and is perfect for podcasts, voiceovers, and streaming. I love the versatility of USB-C and XLR options—it fits perfectly into any setup, whether you're a beginner or a pro. The build quality feels solid and premium, and the included desktop stand is super convenient and sturdy. Background noise rejection is excellent, and the voice isolation makes my recordings sound studio-quality. Highly recommended for anyone serious about audio!

For years, I put off buying a "real" microphone, thinking my gaming headset or a cheap USB mic was "good enough." The Shure MV7+ has shown me how wrong I was. This microphone hasn't just met my expectations—it has completely redefined them. The Sound Quality is Simply Astonishing: From the first time I recorded my voice, I was stunned. The clarity, warmth, and richness it captures is in a different league. Whether I'm on a video call, recording a podcast, or streaming, everyone notices the difference. Comments like "You sound so professional" and "What mic are you using?!" are now the norm. It excels at making your voice sound full and natural while intelligently minimizing background noise. The presets in the Shure MOTIV app are genius and make pro-level sound achievable in seconds. The Perfect Hybrid Design is a Game-Changer: The true magic of the MV7+ is its flawless dual USB/XLR output. I started with the simple USB plug-and-play, which was incredibly easy and sounded phenomenal. As I grew, I upgraded my setup and seamlessly switched to using the XLR output with an audio interface for even more control. This microphone truly grows with you, making it a future-proof investment. Built Like a Tank with Smart Features: The all-metal construction feels incredibly durable and premium. The built-in headphone jack for zero-latency monitoring is essential, and the touch-panel controls for mute, volume, and blend are intuitive and responsive. It just feels like a professional tool. Would I Buy It Again? Without a moment's hesitation. The Shure MV7+ eliminates all the guesswork. It delivers broadcast-quality audio right out of the box for beginners, yet offers the depth and flexibility to satisfy seasoned creators. It is, without a doubt, the last microphone I will ever need to buy. If you're serious about sounding your best, stop researching. This is the one. It's worth every single penny and earns every one of these 5 stars. An absolute masterpiece of audio engineering.

Excellent podcast mic! Great audio quality, ease to use and put together and connects to laptop for audio quality checks.

Bought for our daughter’s blooming acting and voiceover career. The microphone is crystal clear, easy to set up, and compatible with multiple sound engineering softwares.

It provides very clear and understandable audio and was simple to set up. I paired it with a boom arm and it’s jazzed up my gaming area considerably. I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs a good microphone. I switched from a Blue Yeti Snowball and so far it is far superior. Well worth the cost.

So... I went from my Yeti to this, and I have to say the built in software is amazing for controlling peaking and adjustment in realtime. It is so worth spending the money on this mic if you have a chance to upgrade to anything. I know the shure software doesn't have voice changer or anything like that the Logitech suite offers, but the technology and software and the hardware all work so well together that makes you not want to enhance your voice any other way as this mic does it all for you in the AUTO setting. Highly recommend this if you are wanting to move up from your $40-$100 mic set ups. This is the end all be all

Excellent quality both XLR and USB-C. Have dropped it many times and it still works well.

Great sound quality, sensible design, its solid and professional aesthetic even make you feel more comfortable using it, which is a plus for those who get nervous while speaking.

It is a great mic. Very simple to set up and being a Shure it has a nice pure sound. I would recommend anyone wanting a great mic for Podcasting to buy this
