Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my first dynamic mic after using a condenser mic for so long and the difference is astounding. My Yeti mic was great and had good sound, but it was always picking up more background noise than I wanted even when using the built-in EQ tools. The MV7X gives me sound the professional quality I need to take my content to the next level. I also love the compact size and aesthetic of the mic.

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!!

The Shure MV7X is a great XLR microphone for anyone who does voice recordings, anything from podcasts to your weekly Zoom meeting will sound great with this microphone. This microphone is the XLR only version of the MV7 so you will need to have some kind of audio interface to hook this up to your computer for recordings, so keep that in mind when considering the price of this. Overall the MV7X is a great microphone that features a dynamic pickup pattern allowing it to remove most if not all background noise and it has a great sound without needing any kind of boost as some dynamic microphones need. Again this is not a complete kit and without USB you will need to factor in the cost of an audio interface to hook this up to your computer, but if you are looking for a good microphone for voice recordings of any type I would fully recommend the Shure MV7X.

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.

My voice came in clear and wonderful. Seriously...there isn't much else to say. If I had to share any complaint, perhaps it would be the lack of a stand or XLR cable to come with the mic. Of course, if you really need a mic like this, you already have them.

Excellent product. Clarity of use is excellent. Great vocal quality

I needed a microphone for some hobbyist projects - light vocals for music production and video voice over recording. This is amazing for directional recording. It picks up your voice directly in front of the mic and there is minimal sound captured from behind the device. This makes it easy to set up a quiet area to record without needing an elaborate enclosed area. Sounds is crisp and clear and I couldn’t be happier with this microphone. There are some quirks with mounting, but other than that this is a great value and amazingly well performing microphone.

Being in the world of audio now for a couple decades I have enjoyed Shure microphones due to their well known rep for quality. The MV7X does not disappoint in that regard at all. While it sounds like I'm being rather critical, it is just because I expect 10/10 and 5 stars ALWAYS from Shure. The all metal body will take a lickin' and keep on tickin'. It feels heavy compared to its well known brother from another mother, the Beta58a. The "MV" line is meant for podcasts, and demo recordings. It is a purely dynamic mic which is connected to your PC via XLR cable to PC interface for best quality. Note, I said demo recordings, as anything higher, I would recommend using a good condenser mic and good windscreen. The MV7X needs a windscreen in front of its already fitted from the factory one, as it is a 'plosive factory. So if you are just getting into the world of podcasts and don't know how to control your P's and S's - get a "halo" to put in front of this bad boy. Others, you should be ok. While not the fault of the MV, I was rather shocked at the amount of gain needed at my interface to get good levels (approx 4-5 o'clock on the dial). But, again, I've been using condenser's for a while now. Where this mic shines though are its internals. It just sounds good. Plosives aside, I feel that it does as very satisfactory job at recording while reducing background noise such as typing or house noises such as AC. So... With all this noise reduction technology, it blows my mind that a simple light tap on the body of the microphone or on a stand is not filtered at all (and sounds like a bomb going off). BOOM. That takes off one star. It makes little sense that if you want to reduce noise, you do so but "Don't touch the Mic, or stand, or else!"!! Again, minus the above, I think Shure has done a great job. This is truly a "Just getting your feet wet" type of mic. It CAN get semi-pro quality vocal recordings, and Pro quality podcast recordings (if you're careful of the above). It does have a respectable Freq-Resp for a dynamic mic. It is a MILLION times better than a headset mic! Just sayin!

Very good mic, just make sure to have to proper cord.
