    This MV7 has proven to be a all-around good mic. It DOES work with the new Motiv Mix app in Beta. Same controls as the previous software - limiter, compression, eq,etc. I would go for the Plus version, but it's still a decent mic if you can pick one up used or at discount.

    The sound is good, but that's about it. This model is irrelevant with the newer "Plus" version out and is even described as "Legacy" by an official Shure representative. The original Shure MV7 will no longer be supported and is even unable to use the updated "Motiv Mix" software. Micro USB is a big nuisance down the line. Plosives are really bad. Support is horrendous. Emails keep saying "Message blocked".

    I use this mic for everything from singing, to creating video content. Very good sound quality. Words are heard clearly, and easy to connect to speakers and other production equipment.

    I've used multiple microphones before I discovered the MV7 when a knowledgeable sales/tech associate at GC listened to my objectives and recommended this Shure. Captured sound quality is considerably clearer and richer than my prior microphones some that had come highly rated.

  • Perfect podcasting microphone for new podcasters!

    This is the best microphone experience I have had. The Shure MV7 comes with plenty of connections for any scenario. I use it for a stationary recording office set up at home. I was extremely happy when I saw one of the cables that comes with the microphone is able to directly plug into my Mac through the thunderbolt port. That was an awesome surprise! It also comes with USB, XLR, and has a headphone jack. The sound quality is perfect even if you don't have a soundproof room it captures your voice without any echo/background noises. There is a sensitivity adjuster to help you find the right capture depending on how loud or soft you speak. It also has a mute button. I have used this microphone to record music as well which performed extremely well. If you're looking for a microphone I would say it's gotta be this one especially if you don't know microphones too well it's super user friendly.
