Fachry Hakiki because I use this mic..
+MrBeast i mean... why?
and also how many genders are there? I hope it's 3 anywas
+Fachry Hakiki anyways* dammit
Hey it's MrBeast... Cool.😃👋
It’s is amazingly unbelievable that in all of the videos I’ve seen about this mic, nobody bothers to mention the important fact that if you want to record a video on landscape mode (widescreen) , you have to rotate the mic because if not when recording in stereo the left and right are actually going to be pointing up and down
At least in the company’s website they have a video specifying that
Cheers ive just posted that question wondering the same
Nice slippers/song/sarcastic ending. And as usual, a really useful review. Thanks!
Fantastic review. You answered so many questions I didn't even know I had. Thank you!
Very happy to hear that! =) Thanks!
Absolutely one of the best reviews on a tech product like this I have seen. Excellent job!
Probably the best phone mic ever created, sounded really good, Shure has sure outdone themselves.
Nice pun
CalTheMighty shure is .
for some reason I feel preshured to respond
Yeah that's for shure
Shure-nuff.
Thanks so much for this review. I'm blown away by your thoroughness. You rock! Thanks again
A buddy of mine was using this mic recently on a trip and he gave it a glowing review but didn't explain much about it. Your review was very helpful. I think I'll be getting it! Thanks!
Such a great review. Thank you for getting straight to the point & giving quick samples of every setting and every feature. Plus the payoff at the end is great LOL!! ;..D
Hey @Podcastage just wanted to say thanks for this review I ordered mine 2 months ago and it still holds up after all these years
I had amazing results with this microphone but lately I can't get the same results.
I only use it for band practice or live performances.
Lately though, the results are too boomy or too low or both.
Somebody help, please.
I never stop to leave comments on TH-cam videos but your video was just so helpful and in depth i have to tip my hat to you brother. Please keep it up. This is real and honest product review at its finest. You are very much appreciated. May much success continue to come your way.
Thank you so much Sir for your great help
To understand this mic .
I have this mic from the last 2 years
But I didn’t know how to use properly
But now I know how to use it for vlogs
Thanks again
Awesome review. Thanks!! (I feel like singing "Suddenly Seymour" for some reason)
3:15 speech
3:26 singing
3:37 raw
4:01 quiet
4:16 loud
4:29 60-degree
4:48 135-degree

Bless you
Your review helped me in making a decision. Thanks man.
Thanks for showing the different settings in use, very helpful!
Great review! Thank you! I didn't realize that there were so many sound options.
Oh man ! This is one of the most accurate and smart as well as I took a lot of fun !!
You covered every aspect possible of this product .. I enjoyed and get a precise idea ..!!
Thanks a lot ..got a look on your channel oh yeah .. a lot to watch ..I subscribed ...
Wow. This is the best review I could’ve asked for. Kept the bias out of it, all completely factual... I’m definitely gonna check more of your stuff out sir. +1 sub for you... LOL
Thank you for moving from left to right while speaking, so we can hear the the width and quality of the field. REALLY well done video. You got right to the meat and potatoes, without all of the fluff. Big thumbs up!
Thank you! 😁 I was wondering whether this would be a good match for my acoustic covers on TH-cam, and so you both demonstrating it as well as telling us it would be good for just this use was just what I needed 😊
Thanks for taking the time to do this!! it was helpful. i am looking to just record some acoustic songs and post with this. i'm anxious to fool with the different sound.
Insane review!! Thanks a lot, a really dive in so many aspects of this mic, amazing content :)
Been watching your channel since I've starting doing videos on yt, roughly 2 years, man you helped me so much, still doing, just wanted to say thank you 😋
That was really helpful in so many ways. Thank you!
Well-covered, no BS. What all reviews should aspire to be.
Totally appreciate your thoroughness. thank you. This was the best review of this microphone. Yes, I have one. I’m 61 years old and I’ve been using SURE mics since I was 16.
I use to use them playing music (sooo looong agooo)
I like how your audio is flipped! lol it's actually a pretty awesome mic!
just got one of these and recorded my first concert. Avett Brothers. So big nod to them in your video where you play their song "will you return"!!!. i just noticed that!!!
Thank you so much! I’m new to this stuff and your video helped a lot. Plus, your humor made me chuckle. Haha. 👍🏽😂
Thanks for the review, looking for a good Mic for iPhone 7plus, so this was useful.
Can I use this for recording the audio when recording video straight from my phones camera? I want it for vlogging
Question
When I record there’s a certain fuzziness sound I hear, even during silence. Not sure if it’s fuzz or static is the accurate term. How did you get rid of yours? It sounds very smooth and crisp. There’s no fuzziness.
Or am I I just getting ahead of myself? Lol
Does it work with the normal iphone camera/video App? And would you recommend for live outdoor events like a Symphonic Band or Marching Band?
This a great comprehensive review! Subscribed
Hey I love your reviews! Quick question - based on your experience, if you’re trying to record a podcast with an iPad or iPhone, would you recommend using the shure mvi88 or using a usb mic with a camera adapter? I heard the adapters can be a bit fickle, so I’m considering a lightning mic...
I was hoping for a post recording explanation. IE, where does the file go on your phone? I assume it's got to be easy to output though. Otherwise, great review.
Thanks for the review--super helpful. Do you think this mic would be sufficient to capture decent recordings of large group vox chants?
Hi. I’m looking for a mic for using with iPhone 14pro for bushcraft video. So stereo is important because of surrounding. If I understand correctly, mv88 stereo will work not left-right but up-down because of the way how mics are located right? Just imagine that you are recording video horizontally with iPhone main camera. So you need to rotate mv88 to the scene. How stereo mics will be located: left-right or up-down? Thanks for the answer.
P.S. can you compare it with Rode stereo pro (not X)?
We use a MEVO camera that is run through an app on the iphone. Are we going to be able to use this mic if we have to have the MEVO app open to record?
Does your mic work when positioned at 90 degrees? This is my second unit and it does not work in the 90 degree position.
Is it good enough to do sampling...? I.e. sampling sounds ++ for use in music production? The quality is really high enough ?
well your video view on the sure mv88 mike is the best for me to understand and know more about this microphone and how it works has convinced me to perchase this microphone.Thank You.
I have a doubt, if i want to record on the GarageBand App, how do i record with the MV88 while listening with headphones the click/other tracks?
Does this mic have a battery? I’m getting a weird cutting out of sound, wondering if there is a battery that needs to be replaced. I also didn’t make full use of the MOTIV ap, so will be looking more closely at that.
Amazing review ✨ Considering getting this for my SO's music recordings.
Can I ask though if it works with the built-in camera app for iPhone?
Hey awesome video. What preset or setting should i use for indoor youtube videos (Talking/voice) and also the settings for when i am vlogging outdoor? (talking/voice)
Thanks so much
Hi! this looks perfect for me. do you know if I can connect this mic to an android device? I have a samsung galaxy s7
Very thorough and useful review, thank you.
Does it work on a electric phone gimble like the dji osmo?
Will the mono-bi directional works only in vertical mode?Because before that you placed your phone horizontally and later switched to vertical for checking the bi directional preset for interviews. Please let me know about it as i am planning to buy this microphone for vlogging and interviews.
THE BEST VIDEO OUT HERE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT! Thank you
Hello there, I bought the Shure Mv88 and the MonoBidirectional setup points microphones up or down, therefore I can not record interviews with this setting. With a person in front of camera and another behind the camera.
thanks for the review. i love how thorough you are with testing
Thanks so much Gillian, that means a lot.
Awesome run-down - but can it be headphone-monitored while recording? I didn't see an auxiliary output for a headphone...
Thx for the review! QUESTION: is moviepro the best app to use while recording on my iPhone? Easiest? Keep me posted thx!
Sounds great! Thanks for making this informative review.
very nice detailed review! Thank you
I have a little question 😊
connecting mv88 cancels the iphone microphone? When using the video recording app, is it recorded with the audio of mv88 or iphone?
Mine bleeds a buzz over filming unless I turn off the phones cellular network.
Hi, and thanks for this vid. For sure this us a awesome mic ! I used with my iPad Air 2. Now I have got an iPad Air 4, equipped with a USB C connector ! Any idea for an adaptor able to connect my new iPad to MV88 mic ? Thanks a lot.
Thank you!! Will this work with the new iphone 11's?
Hi please let me know how do i hear what i am speaking while i am recording with MV88 where do i have the option to plug in my headset - i mean the 3.5mm male jack
...hello: is it possible to connect the MV88 when there is iPhone case (the rhinoshield) connected? Without to have putting the case away everytime when using the mic?...please for a response if someone did that check...thank you...
If in landscape mode and the mic pointing forwards, if it doesn’t rotate would that mean the stereo mics are then facing up and down as opposed to left and right, unless recording in portrait mode with the mic in straight position ?
Watching 4 years after you posted but this great! I need a mic to plug in and record my acoustic guitar and vocal, no post-production. Looks like this will be ideal! Cheers
You and the creator of Backpack Studio have literally helped me get my podcast off the ground. I use Backpack Studio for all my recordings so my question would be since the settings are app based via Motiv shure app would the settings still work while using a different third party app such as Backpack?
Do you need set this mic up before recording on voice memos? My client hasn't downloaded the app and went ahead and recorded herself with the mic attached but on voice memos.
Play pedals and use a deluxe reverb.
What mic would you recommend for a hobbyist that wants to record through their iPhone for ease of use. Not interested at this point in setting up my computer and mics just for creating ideas. Thanks
For church we are wanting to record from an iPhone for Facebook Live streaming. We have the MV88 and we found that Facebook does not recognize the MV88 once it's plugged in and so it uses the internal mic for the audio instead of the MV88. What could we do?
Hi there great info. Have been having a few problems setting up my mic. Once the mic is set through MOTIV app, can I open up regular video on my iPhone with the same mic settings I saved or do I have to record through the motiv video app? Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you
thank you very helpful. I just got a gift of this mic. great review
Awesome gift, and you're welcome.
Excellent! Thank you brother. Which polar pattern do you feel would be best for recording nature sounds?
Thank you-what would you say that your ear finds to be the best mic for recording music onto an iPhone?
Question! Can we record video and use this mic setting?
Great video. I really appreciate the depth of this review. My bass player works for Shure and I asked him if any of these fell off a truck. We’ll see what he can find!
Hahahaha. Uh oh! I do not condone this behavior. =)
Podcastage haha - in all seriousness, I’m really excited to get this mic! After checking out your video, I can see that I would utilize almost all of the nodes of this mic
is there any chance to extend the cable of the microphone in order to enable longer distance between mobile phone and interviewee?
You said the mic is not good if you are standing around 4-5 ft away from the mic... so what other options do you recommend?
hey bud, can i use this microphone to do karaoke and cast on apple tv connected to my home theatre system?
Would this mic be good for filming car drive by’s/ exhaust sounds?
This mic can also work on Windows (11) PC via USB? Someone suggested the Shure MV88 plus, it's good to work on Windows?
Hiya, what would be the best Mic for iOS for recording home audio systems. Money no object and doesn’t need to be small or portable. Thanks if you can help.
Hello, can anyone tell me if this mic would work if I was just making a video using the iphone built in video recorder?
i always love your reviews with all the testing.
Thanks so much Gillian, that means a lot. I'm glad the video provided you with testing that you hopefully found helpful. Happy recording.
What setting do you recommend for vlogging?
hi.
whats the best/easiest way to rec just live drums?
thanks
How come you have such a low noise-floor? I have an Airplane mode turned on, compression off, and at a normal speech volume, the noise in my recordings is SO apparent. When listening to your video it seems to me that there is no noise at all...
For someone who wants to record ambient nature sounds or acoustic-electric mood-type indie guitar pickings (and is a TOTAL newbie with zero equipment except the guitar/amp), would this be a good starting point? I want something portable for catching sound out and about, but also something I can put in front of my amp to record to my acoustic guitar.
Great video, informative and straight to the point!
Hope anyone can help me with this question…
So I bought this mic, and I want to be able to use my Lightning to USB adapter so I can charge my phone while recording video.
The build of this mic doesn’t allow for that. Is there a cable that happens to be Female Lightning to USB? Obviously would have to transfer audio.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and I’m sure others with the same question would benefit as well
Great review - thank you so much!
Question: is this a good choice for having a mic set up about 1.5 ft away? Is there a better option?
Great review! I like your energy! Thank you!
Very useful review! Just curious... does it have a ducking feature... as well as band pass control? That's the devil in these items. Plus using as a handheld unit for interviews noise cut for handling is important. What do you think the battery life is when A/V vs say mono audio? That's sort of a drawback of this config. That audio separation test was also very helpful.
Thanks!
I don't think it had a ducking feature. I believe it does have EQ settings though. I didn't test the battery life impact while using the mic, but I can assure you it will significantly decrease what you're iPhone provides.
Sorry for asking this on this post (just thought you would notice it quicker on a newer video than the Yuker Vid)
I watched your Yuker Mic video and bought one I loved it from just watching your video and love it even more since purchasing it. I also bought a Syba Usb Adapter, but when I hook them up to my MacBook the input signal is too loud, neither mic nor adapter has any way to control the volume and even when the input slider on the Mac is set to 1% it distorts fairly easily
do you have a solution to this issue? and if so a video would be nice as a lot of people buy stuff just from watching your vids and I am certain many have this same issue with the mic and the adapters.
What preset would you use to record a talking storytime style video from your iphone?
Can you use this mic in video mode to record ?
Can the mic be used as 2 mono recordings for multitrack?
Hello there, can you please tell me what kind of tripod are you using in this video? Thanks a lot.
