Quality Affordable Podcast Microphone

Quality, professional microphone that works great in my podcast studio.

I use it with my podcast microphone. I really do not know how much benefit to sound quality. Build quality vs price suits me nicely.

very strong, I use for my camera and a podcast microphone in the same arm

Simple to use and loads of ways to use the Microphone (podcast, interview, etc.) just by a switch on the back. I was amazed by the sound quality and the overall quality - it's a small investment with a nice return. I am using the microphone to add seminars to my site.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microphone is fantastic for my husbands podcast! The sound quality is insane. Sounds so clear. I am extremely impressed!

We purchased three sets of these mics for our podcast and online Zoom community. I'm really excited about the XLR/USB combo on this mic. It's no secret that Shure is a leader in the microphone industry, with the SM7b being a coveted mic for podcasters/broadcasters, but definitely out of budget for many. Shure has done themselves, and us, a favor by releasing this microphone. The build is quality, there's a headphone input for monitoring, the boom arm is solid, sturdy and has a cable raceway as a nice touch. The flushmount looks sleek and professional. Highly recommend this product to anyone looking for quality audio!

I was surprised by the quality of this microphone--I was able to test it out for a podcast scenario, with a PA system, and to record vocals in Logic. The background noise cancellation / rejection is top-notch and vocals are crisp and full sounding. Will be keeping this in the audio kit for sure.

The microphone is good, no damage to the package, works perfectly.  Best Microphone for starting a podcast on a budget!

So, I purchased the Shure MV7 Podcast Microphone Kit with Blue Compass Premium Tube-Style Boom Arm (Black) and I must say I don't have any regrets. Off the top, there is one thing that I wish were different, but nonetheless, these products are pretty amazing.  Firstly, the Shure MV7 Podcast Microphone is remarkably impressive in the construction, sound quality, and remarkable depth of controls that you have via the Shure Desktop Motiv app or the on-mic controls. This brings me to the thing that wished were different. The connectivity of the app. Shure does provide access to both a desktop and a smartphone app (that you will have to download) but the microphone can only be connected to the devices using wires. It would be more convenient if they were able to connect wirelessly (via WiFi or/and Bluetooth). Once connected to your device the mic can be used or it can also be used by connecting to an audio device using an XLR cord. (regular microphone cable). The Shure MV7 Podcast Microphone is an incredible option for content creators without the needed accessories like cloud lifter and the likes, which other microphones in that category demands. This saves you money, time (as it is faster and easier to set up), and it is more compact and less of a distraction while in use. Lastly, the Blue Compass Premium Tube-Style Boom Arm is smooth, modern, and extremely pleasant to look upon. The Boom Arm is impressively designed and helps tremendously with cable management. The cable fits snuggly in the arm. The boom arm is not bulky and is built very sturdily. Once, the microphone is mounted, it is very easy to adjust the boom arm for perfect positioning. I LOVE THIS!!!

Everyone knows this is a great microphone! We bought it for some studios sessions and a podcast.
