Amazing dynamic mic with minor cons
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.After upgrading from my Yeti to the MV7, the difference is day-and-night. The USB sound alone is phenomenal. Even so, I bit the bullet and purchased a Scarlett Solo interface to compliment the MV7 - it was worth every dime. If you're like me and you're wanting an upgrade from a sensitive condenser mic, the MV7 is perfect. If you're a content creator, gamer, podcaster, streamer or do voice overs, I'd dare call the MV7 perfect. It feels and sounds premium, which nearly justifies its price tag. However, it's not all rainbows and sunshine. For some reason, the MV7 uses a micro-USB connection, and includes both USB-A and USB-C conversion cables to connect to a device. It's almost an insult that it includes a micro-USB to USB-C cable - an acknowledgement of today's USB standards as Shure proceeds to use micro-USB nonetheless. It's a fragile, dated and inconvenient way of connecting devices. Moreover, the MV7 has a touch panel to modify gain & volume settings. The touch panel can be extremely finicky and awkward to reach. It feels like more of a gimmick than anything. After giving the touch panel a chance, I disabled it and have stuck to the software alternative. The MV7 could've been more affordable had Shure dropped the touch panel and went with solid analog controls. Micro-USB connections and touch panels aside, it's a fantastic mic! I'll give it 5 stars because it works well for my needs. If there were ten stars, I'd give it a 9/10, docking a star due to the micro-USB connection and unnecessary (although ambitious) touch panel

Shure mv7x
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Dont have pictures but ill try to keep it short. Its a great mic and if you looking to use like dt 990 pros on console you can use them on the mv7x and itll work on the ps5 for sure. I thought that feature was nice to use on both pc and console. I use xlr mostly on pc and got a windscreen for it which is personal preference. If you are looking for something to use on multiple platforms this one hits it. The stand isnt bad but i lean back so i got a boom arm as well.

Perfect for Podcasts, Conferences, and Recordings
|Posted .Since working from home for over a year now due to COVID, I've invested in better quality gear for my home office. I've also started creating content for LinkedIn, YouTube, and other platforms. So I needed to get a microphone that could work as a desktop microphone, but I also wanted something that was able to plug into a sound board via an XLR cable because I might end up picking up one down the road - so I wanted a "future proof" microphone. A buddy of mine who also hosts his own podcast series recommended the Shure brand because that's what he uses, so when I saw that Shure had the MV7 that could connect via XLR or USB, I picked it up. The MV7 also features capacitive touch controls on the device for gain level and muting. There's also an AUX port available for connecting headphone to monitor the sound quality. The microphone itself is designed to be attached to either a tripod stand, or a boom-type arm. Right now, I'm using a stand for it on my desktop until I find an arm that I like. It's important to note that the MV7 does not come with a stand on it's own - so make sure you have one ready to go or plan to get one before using it. As far as cables, it's nice because the MV7 comes with 2 cables: a MicroUSB-to-USB-A and a MicroUSB-to-USB-C for connecting to a computer. I was pleasantly surprised because it's been my experience that most devices like this come with one type of cable and it's on you to figure out how to connect it. The sound quality of the microphone is excellent. I've had people on Zoom and Teams calls remark how much clearer I sound versus using the built-in microphone on my laptop. I've recorded audio segments, speaking naturally and I've been impressed with how well they sound and how much background / white noise is reduced or eliminated. The MV7 also has some accompanying desktop software to adjust the sound quality, but I found that I could leave it on the auto settings, you can see those in the images I uploaded. I really like the Shure MV7, it feels solid from a build quality perspective, can connect to Mac / PC or mixing board, and is also small enough that you can take it on the go if needed.

Q: QuestionDoes this come with a pop filter/foam screen and are cords sold separately?
Asked by Nicole.
- A:Answer Hello! The MV7's included foam screen will also protect from unwanted plosives (acting as its own pop filter). The product includes 1 - Micro-B to USB-C Cable (10ft) and 1 - Micro-B to USB-A Cable (10ft). The MV7 is also compatible with our (free) desktop app for additional configuration of the microphone's audio. Thank You!

Q: QuestionHow different is this mic from its predecessor the shure sm7b?
Asked by Juan.
- A:Answer Hello - The MV7 Podcast microphone is inspired by our best in class professional dynamic vocal microphone the SM7B. While both provide superior audio clarity and performance the MV7 is designed for a 'plug and play' experience geared towards beginner / entry level situations. The SM7B, due to its professional studio nature requires a more advanced level of audio connectivity knowledge. Thank You!

Q: QuestionDo you need a audio interface for this?
Asked by John.
- A:Answer Hi - The MV7 has two separate options for connection, a USB or a standard XLR. The standard XLR connection would require an interface for computers and laptops to convert the analog into a digital audio signal. Using the USB option requires no interface and is compatible with a Shure provided free desktop app to either automatically or manually configure the microphone audio to your needs. Thank you!
