One of the most better XLR Microphone in the market. Price was Good

My best choice of microphone , good price and quality

I use this for both singing and just talking, and it works great so long as you have equalizer settings and a good xlr preface to use with it.

Pretty good microphone for the price. Make sure to get a good XLR cable for it to reduce any static noise.

Excellent product meets everything I was looking for

Best bang for your buck Good build fantastic quality!

It’s Great Product! Would recommend it too anyone !

After setting up, Mic work great! I do recommend getting an Elgato Wave XLR to adjust setting.

I purchased this for a Christmas gift for my stepson

Was expecting more shure product but felt light and fragile i returned it

Being a musician I own several mics. I mostly record guitar and “talking head” voice tracks. While I have not tried this microphone on my guitar cabinets (I usually prefer a Shure SM57 for guitar cabs), I do love how the MV7X sounds for talking. It records a very rich sound from my voice and I am able to manipulate the tracks with reverbs and effects very easily if I choose to do so. That said, you do not need to use any filters on your voice and it still sounds rich and full. Keep in mind that this microphone is an XLR mic and does not have USB so you will need a mixing board, or a capable audio interface and DAW to produce your vocal tracks. This microphone works perfect in my home studio for recording ideas on the fly, producing full spoken word tracks, and especially social media / YouTube videos. It is built extremely solid and it definitely has a professional look for videos. The yoke tightens up easily and works on any mic stand I have tried. Whether you are using a desktop boom arm mic stand, or a floor stand, this will mount and stay put. After receiving it, the first test I did was to connect it to my Interface, get a good record level, and just talk for a bit. It is marketed as a Podcasting mic, so talking is what I intend to use it for as opposed to instruments or singing. Once I got a few tracks into my DAW, I threw on a bunch of effects just to see how it would handle it. I used reverbs, delays, pitch shifters, and even distortion. Granted I didn’t use all of these at once, all of them sounded great as to be expected. I am very impressed with this microphone and it suits my needs perfectly. In the past, you would need to visit a music store to get studio mics, so I am happy to see Best Buy carrying products like this. Shure is legendary in the microphone business and I have trusted them for decades. If you are starting a Podcast, have a YouTube channel, or just want to have a great way to record your voice, I highly recommend you try the Shure MV7X.

The Shure MV7x is a great microphone for podcasting and instrument recording. Full metal construction is solid while being visually appealing. Yoke is connected to the microphone with two thumb screws and is removable. Included in the box is the microphone itself, and a 3/8” thread adapter. Microphone yoke connects to standard boom arms but is not capable of standing on its own. Note that this microphone only has an XLR output, meaning proper XLR cable and interface are needed for use. This microphone is dynamic, meaning it does not require 48v phantom power for operation. It is excellent at background noise rejection, resulting in more focused and clear vocals. Cardioid pattern picks up audio solely from the front of the microphone. It is best to speak closely to the microphone as it’s volume drops quickly with distance. Key specs Frequency Response: 50 Hz to 16 kHz Sensitivity: -55 dBV/Pa (1.78 mV) at 1 kHz Output Impedance: 252 ohms at 1 kHz Overall, the Shure MV7x is the ideal microphone for those looking to upgrade their streaming, podcasting, or instrumental setups

Durable all steel construction feels nice. Has a nice weight to it. The included wind screen is perfect. I am running this through a UA Apollo interface so high quality and this Mic Has a clean, clear sound. Not picking up too many plosives. There is some room noise but I can isolate that with a pad if needed. The mic does not require phantom 48v power so can be used with various types of audio equipment. I tried both speaking and singing and was very pleased with the results. Very reasonable price for the versatility and performance that this mic has to offer. Great Product!

If I could give 10 stars I would. Wow! What an amazing mic. It blocks surrounding room sounds so well that I can’t get over it. I had a lot of loud background noise, music blasting on TV and others talking nearby and none of that got picked up by the mic, only my voice. The mic’s sound quality is superb. I even like/love the sound of my voice now. Picks up on enunciation so well. The construction of the mic seems to be well built and sturdy. I used a combo of software to record with the mic. So here’s what I can share as far as issues with playback volume. The recording to the laptop program’s default recording software doesn’t playback at an audible level. I tried troubleshooting this and learned it wasn’t a mic problem but a software issue. Tried on various softwares I use to record with both video recording and audio only for podcasting and both displayed superb playback audio. So don’t beat yourself up if you can’t hear the playback well and you’re using the computer’s internal recording option with the mic since the computer’s default recording isn’t the best for those types of recordings. Here are many free video/audio recording softwares on the internet so that’s not a deal breaker when it comes to the usefulness of the mic. I think I’ll be married to this mic for years to come. Also, the mic does NOT come with any cables or connectors. If your going to use on your computer via USB you need to purchase such a cable. You will need to change the input settings on your computer’s sound so that it can pick up on the mic itself. That was an easy switch. I was recording in no time. Also, it doesn’t come with any software to download. Just plug and play. Excellent mic!!

I got the Shure MV7X Cardioid Dynamic Podcast XLR Microphone hoping to solve a specific problem and it has exceeded my expectations! I perform in an acoustic band. We use multiple condenser microphones for multiple singers and to amp up our acoustic guitars. These sound excellent but they are so sensitive that it can be very challenging to avoid feedback. In some venues we can't use them at all! So, I set out to find a cardioid dynamic microphone to use in those specific circumstances. I initially chose the industry standard SM57 and SM58 microphones but was disappointed by the lack of sensitivity. You have to "eat the mic" in order to get any reasonable volume from them. That's when I discovered the Shure MV7X XLR Microphone. The tone and sensitivity are perfect for me! Importantly, the off axis sound rejection is very good. This means that there is almost no bleed-through from other performers standing next to you and no noise picked up from the back of the microphone. This has almost eliminated our feedback issues while still providing a nicely balanced vocal response. The mic requires almost no EQ and seems to inherently focus on the right frequencies for vocals. The unit is built of metal and has a broadcast style mount. This means that it might not fit on an older microphone stand even with the included adapter. I chose to use a newer stand and now everything mounts securely. In summary - this is an excellent tool to add to your performing arsenal and at this price is a no-brainer!

This is an all-metal microphone that feels sturdy and well-constructed. It comes with a 5/8" threaded supporting yoke to attach it to a microphone stand (or other support) - included in the box is a 5/8" to 3/8" adapter. Output is only through XLR. Vocal isolation is excellent - background noises are very effectively excluded. Their marketing claim to capture "perfect recordings in imperfect rooms" holds up pretty well. This microphone captures speech beautifully with a rich, warm tone that sounds natural - men's and women's voices are crisp and clear without sounding too bright (there is no tinny/canned sound that plagues many microphones situated in small rooms). This would not be a great choice for recording music (the microphone is optimized for capturing speech) - though it does an admirable job in close proximity to more intimate instruments like an acoustic guitar. The same brightness that can be so undesirable in recorded speech, and which is noticeably excluded with this microphone, is desirable but noticeably absent in recorded music with this microphone. My only criticism is easy and inexpensive to remedy - I found that the included foam wind screen does a terrible job at removing unwelcome attention to plosives (especially t's and p's) and sibilants (especially s's). It was occasionally jarring to hear my voice sound so natural while also sounding like I was hissing my s's and spitting my t's and p's. You'll definitely want to invest in a pop filter.

The first thing I noticed about the Shure MV7X is that it's pretty much all metal and feels well built. Even the mount is well built. Keep in mind this is NOT a usb mic, but an XLR so you will need some extra equipment to attach it to your computer. This is my first foray into XLR and I'm impressed. Unlike most USB cardioid mics I've used, this one barely picks up any background noise. You'll want to be up close on it for sure, after about a foot away, the pickup falls off dramatically. If you plan on sitting across from someone, thay'll need their own mic, as the Shure MV7X doesn't pick up sound well from behind the mic at all. If you're 90 degrees from the front of it, the mic barely pics up voice, unless you are very close. This isn't an issue as you should be in front of it for podcasting/audio demos/etc. Sound and range are wonderful. It does seem to make "s" sounds a bit sharper, but that could also be from my inexperience using an audio interface. This would be a great mic for streamers as well. The foam windsock is included. If you're clumsy like me and tend to knock things over, it appears to be built solid and should handle some drops. Definitely recommend!

This is my first use of an XLR microphone, so a portion of this review is a cautionary tale of newbie. Frankly, I had no idea what a XLR connector was and was caught off guard that there was no way to directly connect to my computer. I figured it was a simple fix of getting a XLR to USB cable/converter. That is where I ran into problems. I picked up a cheap converter from Amazon and the audio was not good. There was a noticeable hum, so I picked up a better converter and everything worked fine. Lesson learned, it is usually not the microphone and sometimes you get what you pay for with cables. Shure does make a XLR to USB converter, but it is expensive compared to some of the competition and you mind as well get the Shure MV7 USB version. In review – Build quality – Very solid, meets or exceeds a comparable Blue Yeti microphone I have. The MV7X has that classic look of a professional microphone and feels every bit like one. Sound – This is where technology has made quality sound ubiquitous at this price level. I have tested several microphones at this price point and they all sounded great – until ambient sound conditions changed. That is where Shure MV7X really started to shine. It hardly picked up any background sound. Frankly, it was amazing how well it would pick up all the tones of my voice with a TV on in background. I would not call it noise cancelling, more like homing in or isolating speech. I did notice that I had to be relatively close for it work well but that is expected for the intent of this microphone. It really is impressive. What is in the box – Well, just the microphone. You will need a stand or some type of mount. I assume most people who are looking for a microphone like this will have their own mount set up in mind. However, there are competitors at this price point that include a stand with the microphone. Warranty – 2 years limited. Comparable to the competition. In conclusion, the Shure MV7X is a very good microphone. It captures the rich sounds of voices and keeps down the background sound. It is built well, retails for a relatively low price but is no frills in what it comes with. It is important to know beforehand that this is not a plug and play USB microphone. Regardless, this is easy to recommend a good buy.

Excellent XLR Mic Pros ------- 1. Excellent dynamic microphone for sub 200$ 2. Excellent built quality and looks nice on camera 3. Since this is a dynamic microphone , look matters because you need to be right in front of it 4. Excellent noise cancelling effect on noise in the room and keyboard noises Cons ------ 1. Wish it included XR cable Review ---------- Build Quality ----------------- I have to give this one to SHURE , the excellent build quality what makes it a great sub 200$ microphone. Its all metal. Love the metal screws that goes on the mounting system. Usage -------- This is a dynamic mic and the voice isolation technology works wonderfully in cutting out the surrounding noise and any imperfections in an untreated room. This one sounds great on voice recording and also exceedingly well on amplifying an acoustic guitar for my son. This one matched with the Bose S1 Pro speaker is a perfect marriage. It was an excellent Christmas gift for my son who is not yet into electric guitar but still on acoustic guitar. Its got the top end and liveliness and all the notes comes out perfect. For the price, quality of sound and build quality, I think it’s a bargain!!

I received this mic from best buy tech insider network for testing. I wanted to improve the sound of some of my recordings I do for reviews, and occasionally video conferencing. My old mic had a hard life and it once in a while acted as if short in the cord and cut out. With this mic, it connected to my previous Mvi digital audio interface and it really does well with picking up voice and keeping things clear without a lot of background noise. I try to do things in a quiet setting, but typing at times on keyboards used to come through, so far this does well, much less pronounced if it picks stuff up. The build quality seems pretty good, solid feel to the petal parts. This 150 dollar price range this has been selling at, I feel it's pretty competative. I have no complaints. I would recommend this to friends. It does what it says.
