- Watch This BEFORE Buying! The fake sounds exactly like the original, even with a side by side comparison it’s still difficult to notice the differences.

Great video but man it's so hard to follow which one is the fake and which is real without you putting it in. and I don't know if you switch them from time to time. confused the heck out of me. but again, overall a great video. keep it up!
I’ve done my own version if you had time to check it out. It’s my fake MV7 vs a genuine MV7X… so not exactly like for like, but close enough
Dude! i want to say thank you! I bought one from Ebay for around 200 and for the longest time i thought it was authentic. That's until this video popped up on my recommended fee. I bought one from Amazon and let me tell you its day and night difference.
So was the one from Amazon real? Or not? I'm considering buying one from Amazon
@@jasmithmarin9478 real
@@jasmithmarin9478 depends if you’re buying direct from Amazon or one of their third party sellers.
Shure do sell authentic products through Amazon.
I’ve gone down a rabbit hole of learning about the fakes and different mics. I’ve done a few videos on the SM7B and MV7’s if you was interested in checking out more info
This is not entirely correct. My Shure Mv7 was purchased in 2021 and has the green wires and the neutrik logo in the xld input, unlike what you are claiming. I have even written to Shure as well and verifed my mic on their website. Please stop misguiding.
I don’t think it’s fake it’s an unauthorized only if they can fix the problem with the Og it means someone saw the flaws from the company and decided to manufacture them since maybe it cost US$80 labor cost to produce them and shure making a profit on the market...
If it's a fake, how is it possible that software read as original and can even upgrade firmware?
I just found out that I've been fooled! Bought the fake on a very "trustable" store... Thanks for the video!
What was the "trustable" store? Amazon? Someone here said they went to Guitar center and he still got scammed with a fake one!
@@jasmithmarin9478 well if the local store gets scammed as well, they are gonna sell the scam without even knowing it I guess...
bearing in mind loads of big brands are made under license in china, im expecting the so called counterfeits are actually rejects from the production lines not going to waste.
I bought one of those fakes in aliexpress. At first I thought it was just a good price, but after ordering I learned about fake shures and was worried. Initially when it arrived it was so perfect I was “shure” it was legit. Then I disassembled as you did and realized the internals were different than what I saw in another video review. I don’t have the original, was going to post photos to compare but then I saw your video and now know it’s fake. Mine is identical internally to your fake one. Also just like yours, it is really well built and it works with the software perfectly.
Did you notice any differences in the audio compared to the original? I couldn’t notice any by listening to yours. Your audio sounds like it’s clipping a bit, but it’s the same for both the real and fake as well, I’d assume your gain is a bit too high.
The clipping sound is the plosives the mics picked up without any EQ. Definitely was my mistake for speaking too close to the microphones. I recorded both using the zoom f3 32bit
To me I found the real one to sounds a little cleaner but when I watched this video on TH-cam I noticed that the difference is not noticeable at all. TH-cam compression makes both mics sound similar to me. However listening to both live, the real one is better.
would you mind taking the capsules and mounts off both and provide the weight of the fake, and the real one?
Could you please compare the audio via XLR and check whether they sound the same as well? Another video would be great. Thanks!
This video was recorded using the XLR connection with the zoom f3
From your video is hard to understand difference between fake and real
My USB fell into the back and I opened it up to fix it and resolder it ! - found out the housing was real but the internals was fake, bought from guitar center. Couldn't fix the broken wire on the circuit board it was too thin and was made very poorly.
Threw it away ! Shure not doing something about this is weird ?
And what about sound quality?
Great video! Could you weight both microphones? Thanks!
Thanks for the video. I bought one off eBay and I could tell right away something was off. I'm glad I had a real one to compare it to. There are other signs you can tell that its fake, even in the documentation. But as Shure wisely states, its best not to share all of them so they don't replicate them further.
Which one is fake? Which one is real? You didn’t put the labels which is fake and real…
I actually bought two MV7’s, and two Shure Headphones for extremely cheap. £150 for the lot. I’m no audiophile, it all sounds pretty good to me.
Your video came up as suggested…
Here’s the tricky thing, it all comes across as being real based off your checks excluding the wiring.
You said the fake has two Green wires. That’s the only thing. Everything else implies it’s real.
in the same boat here, glad to see someone else with the same "issue". though I am quite surprised by especially the physical quality, but even the audio quality. miles better than the razer seiren x, so I might not return and get an original at all for a while.
@@carm_keys yeah since I’ve watched this video and commented, I’ve posted my own videos if you fancied checking them out.
Discovering the Fake Shure’s put me down a rabbit hole wanting to compare against legit mics etc to hear the sound quality difference.
I never really noticed an issue before, but when you do compare against genuine mics, you can hear the difference.
That being said, ignorance was bliss for the two years where I thought I had genuine mics lol…
@@leo_hoang nice! finally another video on the topic, will definitely give it a watch!
@@carm_keys I just checked my posting schedule and I’ve got it scheduled to go live tomorrow for the unboxing and then Friday for the comparison… let me know your thoughts on the fake vs real and if you can hear the difference
@@carm_keys second thought, no real reason to schedule it so I just set the post to go live… 👍
Bro this video made me realize my shure mv7 is fake thanks
Unfortunately I dis-assembled my original one, and now I cant assemble it back.☹
Ah!!!
Solo para confirmar disculpe, en el Minuto 1:58 entiendo que el fake es del abajo y el de arriba original, gracias
I was also confused here
This is why Shure has something called Authorized Dealers.
2:10 Not true. The model I bought in 2021 also has 2 green wires.
3:48 Not true again The letters and symbols on real are the same as fake ones.
The letters and wires of each production lot are different.
Hey. I bought mine around $220 dollars. And I’m not sure if it’s a real one. What do you think is a dead giveaway for a fake one? Is it in this video? Thanks
@@GeyzsonKristoffer neutrik logo under in xlr I have never seen it in a fake.
@@kkkk-nt5prI was a little relieved to hear that.
thank you.
Please let me know if you have any other information to help me make a decision.
This is Shure's fault. They're making this crap in China, knowing that China copies American gear all the time. And if, as a manufacturer, you're GIVING THE CHINESE FACTORY YOUR CONSTUCTION PLANS, it just makes it that much easier for them to copy the mics. Shure needs to up their game, get out of Chinese factories, and make better stuff in general. The fact that the knock-off has a better USB port than the real thing, and sounds so similar that most people would never know the difference, is telling.
How can I get that fake Shure to buy I love it’s quality for the price
Don’t it’s trash
@@Scentedstyle this video listening to both the fake and real is almost identical for 1/2price its a brgain. is it a trash really ? your review did not prove the differene in quality.
@@oscarhanzely110 it’s a night and day difference, DON’T BUY
What is the fake box bro?
Can you label the one that is fake and real on the video? Very confusing
Kitten thinks they both look like mice not mics
He doesn't care, and just goes about licking his balls.
I consider buying a MV7 as soon as the USB connector is "fixed".
Just sad that they have chosen such a connection.
legit the only reason i got the mv7 was because of the usb connection... if i knew it would last me literally 2 weeks i wouldnt have spent the money on it. tragic asf. and i cant even return it.
@@rsykes5143 huh that sounds pretty frustrating.
If it is the usb connector I would try to repair it or find someone to do it.
The connector ist not THAT complicated compared to the chips and other electronics on that PCB.
@Khan yeah I'm gonna try to find a shop around my area to see if I can get it repaired. Besides that it's a great mic.
@@rsykes5143 good luck to you
Wish they would have used USB-C!!!
thanks for the vid man
ty, the fake wins
mine has red and not yellow or green lol
At 1:58 which one is real? Im thrown off with fake being on both pictures. I assume the top is fake and the bottom pic is real? But they both say fake….which one is real?
Me too, he cant tell us where is real side 😓
The fake one is at the bottom it's obvious
@@notmonody Chill buddy. Many people are having the same question, which is MORE obvious that it’s NOT obvious.
For me it looked obvious and sorry for being ridiculous@@thejessicajane
I realized that both originate from China; In my country, products from China is not a good sign.
Lol where can I buy the fake one please 🙏 😅😅😅😅
+1
What’s a Shure ?
2:24 Which is the real board？
I think the right one
@@HeggaMegga Thanks!
Do Chaos 1600w Escooters have a speed restriction wire?
The whole video you are talking that the REAL one is fake ???? Why are you misleding people ??? I have 2 green wires ob my mic and neutrik on XLR, and in the video you sad that fake one is the one who has trash logo in the middle on the backsite but it actualy is a real one ???
Total and utter nonsense. You CAN tell the difference between the two. Shoddy materials are used and it definitely sounds different.
Poor video editing ... Right is real n left is fake ???!!! So confusing n misguiding ! Which motherboard original
Lack of attention
