Number one, I hope you are feeling better and on the mend! Number two, I am offended on your behalf that Shure sent one of these to seemingly everybody on TH-cam but you. Shame on them. You're one of the best reviewers on here. Be well!
Damn, you sound like hell. Hope you're back up to full speed soon! As for the mic, I think it sounds pretty good as a halfway house, about the price of a decentish interface + mic but gives the option to skip the extra hardware for someone just getting into podcasting/VO stuff. As always, great review.
I'm already loving this mic. My oldschool SM7b is my daily driver, but for the price, I ordered a new MV7. Got an urgent order from a doctors' office -- they want 6 cuts w/ my wife's voice for on hold greetings. I'm traveling, 2 states away... Just now, wife and I connected on Google Hangouts, and I walked her through connecting the mic and changing windows settings. My recording gear is with me here, on the road, so she connected to her WIN10 laptop w/ USB and used the Windows Voice Recorder (pros are saying, "you're doing it all wrong" -- yes, I'll connect it via XLR when I put the studio back together) No processing, no changing settings, no touching the on-mic controls. Just plugged it in, Windows found drivers, and we're recording. BONUS: Some software has conflicts when using the mic for remote meeting AND recording; We streamed Google Hangouts and recorded at the same time, no problems. Wife just emailed the m4a files to me, and I'll have finished audio chopped up and delivered by lunchtime. EASY USB connection, recording and sending raw audio within an hour. The cuts sound great right out of the box. I am so proud of my wife's willingness to plug things in, and so thankful for the technology,. I look forward to using the MV7 in-studio -- I'll experiment with some of the USB options, though I'll probably connect it via XLR. But for $250, this is an affordable, PRO level mic -- SHURE knocks it out of the park again!
BRO! Sending a healing and blessing prayer your way! Glad you're on the mend. Sorry you got sick! I appreciate you and your high quality reviews and most of all, your sense of humor.
Im not too crazy about the SM7B and I think its over used in the Podcast/TH-cam scene, But Im really Impressed with what Shure has come up with! The MV7 is a brilliant idea and a nice little mic!!!
Love this mic, I had to watch this review 3x, pretty awesome review. U always know how to turn something boring to entertaining. C+ for the mic is good.
Got the MV7 a couple of weeks ago, recorded 2 audio podcast episodes with it, I feel it’s a great improvement. My summary based on my experience and various YT reviews: Negative: microUSB sucks, so I just keep it plugged in unless I’m traveling.. Plosives are an issue, either speak at an angle or increased distance, or get the windscreen from Shure that goes with the SM7B (fits, $14 and works!); I use a generic pop filter from EBay - solved. Negative: not compatible with newer usb c ipad pros, per Shure’s tech support and website. I’m using mine with 2017 iPad Pro with lightning port (with adaptor) and works well. I believe the Shure MOTIV app only works via USB mode. Will return if I find an equivalent mic that uses usb C, but don’t see one yet, so after the return period, this is a keeper. Can’t upgrade to newer iPad Pro with this mic as is, so likely upgrade path is with next gen MacBook Air/pro... Positives: great sound, long usb cables, slider controls and mute function, headphone monitoring, build quality. Cheers!
Wow so close to purchase, did not realise you could not use it with a new iPad Pro! Thank you! This fused with this exquisite review, very grateful but I hope they change that ASAP!
Genuinely look forward to every video you do. I'm looking at getting this mic so really glad you've reviewed it. Top notch stuff sir. Wishing you a speedy recovery too.
Hahaha, god I found myself routinely laughing out loud through this, and a lot of your other mic reviews. Absolutely love the entertainment value you bring to this.
Man, hope you feel better soon. Re this mic, I'm 100% with you. I'm going to make the obvious comparison with the Samson Q2u and note that it does have more useful features, they seem to be implemented in a particularly awkward way, it doesn't sound as good and it costs 4x as much. On the plus side it does look a little bit like the mic Joe Rogan uses so if you care a lot about that...
Also forgot to say I'm really looking forward to Samson releasing the Q9U as with it being cheaper by a fair amount and also a hybrid with USB C it's likely its direct competitor. Waiting to see your review of that then I'll make up my mind.
I am way excited to review that mic! I have it pre-ordered, but I also asked B&H to send me one as soon as they can. I basically just wanted to make sure I get it as fast as possible 😂
Dude I love your reviews they’re not only informational but also funny and entertaining. Just a quick question for you, when you had the mic 3ft away and plugged in through usb what gain did you have set on the mic itself? Looking forward to your response, take care and hope you are better now 🙏🏽😊.
Was looking forward to your review of this one and sorry to hear why you were delayed... get better soon!! PS. How would you rate this for sound against the Rode NT-usb?
Wow powering through the virus. Man oh man rest up. Hope you recover safely. Agree with your assessment that the price dosen't match the value. Tks for being honest.
That feeling when u open a new microphone🤩 but i think its just a bit thin especially without the windscreen and the price is insane, had it been around 150, i would have jumped at it! Pls pls pls get well soon my man! I am praying fr ya!
HELLO THANKS FOR THE REVIEW..A QUESTION HOW DOES THE MICROPHONE CONNECTED VIA XLR CONNECTED TO THE ShurePLus MOTIVE SOFTWARE ..? How does the pc recognize it? If it is connected via xlr and not usb?
mate you use sm7b without any cloudlifters? just Zoom F6 and SM7B, how do you think Tascam Portacapture X8 + SM7B will work fine? without any additional hardware thank you in advance
Quick I guess you could say "hack" for this mic. If you take the windscreen from the SM7B and put it on the MV7 the plosive rejection becomes much, much better. If anyone has had issues with that, spend the 20 bucks (I think?) and you will have an infinitely better experience with it.
When EposVox reviewed this mic it sounded TERRIBLE. I'm curious if there's something that he did wrong with it, because he had to edit the hell out of it for it to sound even halfway decent. Your mic sounds amazing in comparison. I wonder if having the USB plugged in at the same time as the XLR adjusts the sound somehow?
I steered clear of watching any MV7 reviews before I finished mine, so I will definitely go check his out now! First thing that comes to mind, before I watch it, is that his voice seems like it would be bad for this mic. His lows and low mids are pretty powerful and I feel like this mic would be a bad choice for a voice like that.
mv7 or q9u? for podcasting... USB hookup. Any other recommendation that will produce the same sound quality for same or less money? No interface because... well good ones that don't produce noise are expensive.
I am wearing the Sony MDR-7506 headphones. I usually only wear them to track, then I use my Sennheiser HD 650 and beyer dynamic DT 770 for more critical listening. The Sony headphones just have a much smaller profile, so they don’t look as ridiculous on camera 😂
If you are using it as a USB mic, you can hit the mute button. If you are using it as an XLR mic, there actually isn't really a way to temporarily turn it off.
@@AudioHotline how do we not, in the year of our lord 2021, have an outboard XLR mute button for sale for like, $20? Everyone and their mom is streaming live audio in some capacity, and I’d like to be able to sneeze or cough without raping the ears of the listener. I think it would be a big money maker. Pitch the idea for me to your big business TH-cam connects and tell them I demand my royalty check! Lol
@@3kboom I use it for singing mainly, and I do some intro style voice work for podcasts. I am working on an album and that’s what inspired this purchase. I’m a baritone and it handles my voice very well. Both USB and XLR sound wonderful. I mainly use XLR through my mixer. I had to use an arm because I could hear my voice traveling through the table and up the stand, giving unwanted reverb, but as soon as I used the arm I was all good. The only mic I’ve ever used that was better than this was the SHURE SM7B.

Someone, ban companies from keep using micro USB port.
Come on people, it's 2020. CoViD and USB-C are obligatory!
Feel better soon!
The fact that it comes with a usb c to micro usb makes me feel like they thought about doing the right thing and then just didnt lol
@@Andrew-oz6em LOL, I thought the exact same thing.
Yes. I was really pissed off to see that Micro-USB port on the back when I took it out of the box.
Number one, I hope you are feeling better and on the mend! Number two, I am offended on your behalf that Shure sent one of these to seemingly everybody on TH-cam but you. Shame on them. You're one of the best reviewers on here. Be well!
I can't believe Shure shipped a product in 2020 with micro-USB. How insane.
I love his reviews and energy!
😊 thank you!
I watch ur video only for fun... which is unusual coz reviews don’t give you fun... but dude you do!!! Ur just... just damn *DIFFERENT*

It's used alot because it works great and has the quality of a $2,000 mic for $500
This is the best review by far. All imoprtant stuff covered!

I’m getting this and I’m so excited 😆
Been waiting patiently for this. Great video bro. Stay up! 💪🏾
hey man great review, thank you for going into so much detail and doing so many different tests. hope you're fully recovered from the not gonorrhea!
Genuinely look forward to every video you do. I'm looking at getting this mic so really glad you've reviewed it.
Top notch stuff sir. Wishing you a speedy recovery too.
Got my M7 today! I freaking love it
Hahaha, god I found myself routinely laughing out loud through this, and a lot of your other mic reviews. Absolutely love the entertainment value you bring to this.
I really appreciate the kind comment! I am glad you enjoy them!
Nice extra features but those plosives are bangin!
OMG that is terrible news, hope you recover quickly!!!
Man, hope you feel better soon.

Take the windscreen off the SM7b and put it on the MV7 and it will make the MV7 sound almost exactly like the SM7b.
Glad you're powering through covid bro! Hope you get better soon
Also forgot to say I'm really looking forward to Samson releasing the Q9U as with it being cheaper by a fair amount and also a hybrid with USB C it's likely its direct competitor.

Wasn’t it supposed to be out in April of this year?? They’re taking forever

Rode NT-USB or Shure MV 7 for podcasting, fast answer, no overthinking :) GO!
make video about Your studio light setup, a just love the ambience!
My mic doesn’t sound like this on streamyard. What am I doing wrong? 🙈🙈🙈
Room treatment siguro.

I bought the mv7 mic. It costed me 340€. (285€ for mic and 65€ for mic stand.)
very like this one 🔥🔥🔥 helpful!
Gad Damn it! This review was entertaining AND informal!
My man!!! Thank you, miss you dude! 😘
I just love paying premium price for old technology
Love the channel keep it up
sound echo can be on this mic with Goxlr Audio interface ??
HELLO THANKS FOR THE REVIEW..A QUESTION
HOW DOES THE MICROPHONE CONNECTED VIA XLR CONNECTED TO THE ShurePLus MOTIVE SOFTWARE ..?
How does the pc recognize it? If it is connected via xlr and not usb?
12:25 Ryan Reynolds enters the chat
Feel better!
I have the same mic (mv7) but i have noise when i put the gain at a right level for my stream. Do you have any solution ?
Also, i use xlr connection
mate you use sm7b without any cloudlifters? just Zoom F6 and SM7B, how do you think Tascam Portacapture X8 + SM7B will work fine? without any additional hardware
thank you in advance
I have the SM7b and the Portacapture X8. If you want to send me an E-mail at audiohotline@gmail.com I can send you a sample.
Quick I guess you could say "hack" for this mic. If you take the windscreen from the SM7B and put it on the MV7 the plosive rejection becomes much, much better. If anyone has had issues with that, spend the 20 bucks (I think?) and you will have an infinitely better experience with it.
Sm7b: I'm glad I never had children.
Smv7: hello everyone
Sm7b: who's this kid?
The Podmic sounds better (comparing to your Podmic video) with your voice.
When EposVox reviewed this mic it sounded TERRIBLE. I'm curious if there's something that he did wrong with it, because he had to edit the hell out of it for it to sound even halfway decent.

What headphones are you wearing?
I am wearing the Sony MDR-7506 headphones. I usually only wear them to track, then I use my Sennheiser HD 650 and beyer dynamic DT 770 for more critical listening. The Sony headphones just have a much smaller profile, so they don’t look as ridiculous on camera 😂
Never mind. Even though you don't list 'em you mention them in the vid. (Senn HD650 and Sony MDR 7506 for anyone interested.)
@@charliebell5073 but I already answered it... 😂😂😂
@@charliebell5073 you nailed it though!! Haha
Does the software work on MacOS
Yes, that’s what I used it on! It works on both windows and Mac
@@AudioHotline thanks
what about MS DOS? Do they make an Amiga version? how about Atari ST?
This or the rode procaster
Not the intended purpose, but the mic and being sick made you sound like Ryan Reynolds.
How I turn off?
If you are using it as a USB mic, you can hit the mute button. If you are using it as an XLR mic, there actually isn't really a way to temporarily turn it off.
