Everything that has been written positively glowingly about the Shure SM7B is absolutely true!!! ;-) sound reproduction is extraordinary, tuned for voice and patterned to reject off axis and unwanted noise. Proximity effect boost is perfect up close. Love this mic! Only one thing t I’ll say (and why it’s 4 stars instead of 5) is that if you’re going to buy an SM7B for voice work you’re definitely going to need a cloudlifter if your not willing to eat it (speak right on top of it) 24x7. Signal is beautiful , warm and true but signal is Faint and needs help. Plan an extra $100 to get a CL-1 if you buy the SM7B, but once you do, this mic is totally unleashed to reach its full potential! Acts like a condenser mic almost while retaining its great dynamic mic qualities. Love this mic!

Unfortunately, I fell a victim to it being a fake. BUT, it does sound pretty good for a fake and the price point is fine for me. If you are looking for an authentic sm7b, this is not it. You can tweak it to sound like it 100% with voicemeeter or a with a interface that does so though. The build quality of it is alright.

The SM7B's reputation -- both good and bad -- is well-deserved. It does sound great -- I lent it to our lead soprano for our virtual choir recordings, and just having her tracks recorded with the SM7B immediately made our entire mix sound better. It does have very low output -- but adding a CloudLifter in the chain to boost the SM7B's signal was an easy, high-quality fix. On top of that, the SM7B is not at all finicky; I lent it to our not-very-technical soprano know that she wouldn't have any problems setting it up and using it, and that there wasn't any way she could break it.

Most people know this mic as a broadcast mic, which is and was its original intended use. You've probably seen it on a any number of radio panel-discussion shows taped for TV, or maybe at a radio station, or on the old Northern Exposure TV series (it was Chris's mic) - basically anywhere you didn't see an RE20, you saw one of these. What people often DON'T realize, however, is that artists such as Michael Jackson, Tom Petty, Keith Urban, James Hetfield of Metallica, Anthony Kiedas of RHCP, Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes, Sheryl Crow, and many, many others have used this mic both live and in the studio. It has three distinguishing characteristics: First, it has a switchable mid-high boost (as well as a bass roll-off) switch which can alternately, "push vocals forward" in a mix or tame "essy" vocals. Second, its much-heralded isolation makes it a great choice for recording "live-on-the-floor" vocals (where the entire band plays while simultaneously recording the vocals) with very little "bleed" from other instruments. Third, it is notoriously power-hungry, its low output requiring a lot of clean gain from the mic preamp; denigraters of this mic have often purchased it as a "bang-for-the-buck" alternative to (often more expensive) large diaphragm condenser mics and weren't happy with the results they got using their budget preamps. The bottom line: While it my not be the best choice for every voice and can be quite demanding in terms of mic preamp, when it IS the right mic, it's tough to beat at any price, let alone the paltry sum (under $400 new) they can usually be had for.Read full review
This is the professional mic that is preferred by most radio broadcast stations, sound studios (voiceovers), and podcasters. Great sound/tone, but you will need a mic amp/direct box, or a good soundboard with phantom power to drive this thing. To sum it up: Name brand, Great build quality, and solid reputation.

The sound of a Shure SM7 is very good. It's popular for voice-over work and male rock vocals. It's very good at rejecting pops (plosives) and handling noise, though it's not meant for hand-held use. It's great for screamer metal vocals too and It was used for some Michael Jackson vocals. It won't compare to a high end studio condenser, but it's amazing considering it's a dynamic mic. It has very low output level so you'll need a very good preamp to pair with it, or get yourself an in-line gain booster like the CloudLifter. For studios, it's overall a worthwhile mic to have in a collection but It's no desert island microphone, unless you're doing narration for a living. Bottom line, I'm happy I own one and I would recommend it to a friend.

This is a great Microphone !!! amazing sound !!! I would highly recommend pairing it with the Cloud Lifter Mic activator . and be careful if you choose to mount it to a Mic Boom stand because of the way the XLR cable plugs in it will hit and not fully rotate on certain boom stands I learned that the expensive way .

There is a reason that you see this microphone being used by many of your favorite musicians and podcasters. It's beautiful, well built and sounds pristine. I love it.

This is a fantastic mic with a fantastic response and sound, just know that you’ll need a preamp that can really push some juice to make the mic really shine. A cloud lifter will give some extra oomph, but it’s not a substitute for a UA 610 or a neve 1073.

Great studio mic. A bit low on output (as many reviews have stated). Strongly suggest using a Cloudlifter CL-1 clean boost with this. But that will be a winning solution for home studios that can't afford a Neumann. A bit heavy, so make sure to have a sturdy mic stand to handle it.
