Customer Ratings & Reviews

This microphone for smartphones delivers crisp and awesome video and audio. Through the Motiv app which is free from Shure, I can adjust settings of the microphone for recording speech, singing or instrumental recordings. Without this microphone, recording with the built-in mic of my smartphone delivers distorted sound. For video, I can adjust lighting, lock the setting, zoom in and out with no difficulty. I recommend this product for any serious musician who wants to post their recordings with professional quality sound.

I bought this not really understanding its use, at first other than knowing I wanted to film myself practicing and playing music. Here's what I learned and what I wish for to be changed: - I wish to be able to power the mic outside of the camera as the mic is dependent upon the phone's battery. - It's my understanding the software App changes aren't saved in the software but rather in the speaker itself and the software reads that information. As such, I wish the mic could be used separately from the phone. At $250 - $300 it doesn't have the cleanness of a $200 ZOOM H4N PRO Field Recorder given distance to the mic, but at the same time, the ZOOM isn't three mics with a large area of control for those mics and it's not integrated with a camera either. Personally, video aside, for better audio quality (less noise), I would prefer a field recorder. If you need an all in one package, then this is a great package and you'll probably be most pleased. It's pretty impressive what SHURE had done with this package. The Shure MV88+, definitely has its place for less equipment carry around, fast results - audio and video together, etc. but you're limited with it because you're tied to the phone. I understand this is what it was made for but the question really boils down to this; Are you in the niche market of making videos with the upper smartphones/tablets that this product caters to? If so, you'll probably be most pleased. If not, then you may find that despite its amazing feature set, this device can be claustrophobic in relation to other audio equipment given cost to price performance. I'm looking forward to Shure's future with further developments of this type of technology.

This microphone is super handy! I was definitely teetering on whether or not to get this, but decided to take the dive and invest in it and I’ll definitely say it has not disappointed me one bit. The best part is that it comes with a really convenient roll-up protection case that fits everything. You can easily carry all components in one hand because of this. I also like that I can mount my phone. Only thing I wish was that I could have my phone placed vertically somehow… but that really is not too big of a deal for me because I make it work. Recording quality is good. The reason I’m knocking it down a star is because with my apple devices it is always trying to make the microphone not only an input but an output as well. Constantly having to fix that is a little bit annoying, trying to find a long term solution for this. Overall, love it! I’m glad I purchased it.

I have the earlier model (lightning connector) and it’t a great mic! This one works with my iPad Pro 11 (C connector)- also connects to camera brackets...

Great audio and sound, quality mic and tripod, the clip holder is however built a bit flimsy.

I love this....works really well with my phone. Thank You.

Love this product as a person who always has ideas and song lyrics hitting me randomly. This product is great when I’m away from my home studio and on the go! I know it’s pushed as a vlogging mic but I make quality songs with this! Love this mic and would definitely recommend!

Make sure you check microphone input. I’ve been a big fan of Shure products for years. This one is no exception. It has incredible frequency response. If you have a iPhone 10 or 11 you will not need a separate camcorder, Go Pro etc..

This Condenser Microphone provides high quality audio sound and that I am using in animated movie production.

Perfect for our daughter who is a singer. Something she really needed.

Excellent product by Shure. Well designed and meeting all of my expectations.

Amazing. Easy to set up. Great audio isolation. I am incredibly happy.

I like most everything about this mic... except that it doesn’t connect to my GoPro (which is mostly what I wanted it for).

Have different microphones and this one Works great!!

I bought this product to improve my microphone on my iPhone when I’m on FaceTime. Unfortunately, this does not work for FaceTime or regular phone calls. I should have done more research before buying it. Otherwise, its great microphone for video recording on my iPhone.

I’ve been using this for video recordings while in quarantine and it’s great!

Bought this for my son for Christmas as a surprise, he was thrilled with it.
