Shure MV5-B-LTG Digital Condenser Microphone (Black)

An excellent product for amateurs. It makes very good quality audio. I am happy with this product.

Ok so Shure make legendary and industry standard products from earbuds/monitors to Mikes.Initially I bought it for my daughter who has recorded some amazing tracks with it, then I bought this one for some voice over work I needed to do in a hurry and the studio was closed.best used with a pop filter but a genuinely stunning mic, Shure software is fairly east to use but is much better with Garageband (thank you daughter) and LogicproIn short great value, great product, use a pop filter

I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality and usefulness of this microphone - it’s sound quality is good and it’s very well matched with the MOTIV apps for audio and video. The initial impression of the device out of the box is that it’s a bit plastic and cheap but actually it’s quite robust and can even be attached to a stereo bar or a joby stand if need be. It also paired easily with a PC laptop and recording into a DAW was fine.It does only seem to be designed work with lightning and USB devices so it’s PC, iPhone and basic iPad - but that’s it’s purpose I guess.I’m quite happy having only paid a shade over 80 quid for it - it’s by no means the worst electret condenser about and is essentially it’s own mini audio interface to boot - the headphone out is excellent and the mic presets are not complex or hard to amend in the app.

Using on my iPhone and iPad what a Great microphone un fair for me to compare it to another as it’s my first but a fantastic upgrade from the standard mic headphones that came with my device which is what I was having to use before using this on my go to 3rd party karaoke app StarMaker and all functions work well from singing covers to duets and party rooms has a nice red glow to it when turned on in the evening ( back light from power on ) its of good build durable plastic with a metal Stan I have mine connected to a spear tv bracket arm which suits my needs I’m so pleased with this purchase

I have a really small Labtec mic for the past 20 years that cost no more than €10. The sound quality of the recording from the Shure MV5 is worse than the Labtec.Test performed using Windows Voice Recorder in Windows 10, no frills - just a direct comparison.Returning today.

The microphone was okay for voice recordings and online teaching (2-3 times a week). After another 10 months it started to malfunction, and I had to keep a constant eye on it - inconvenient during recording a complex script or teaching! It broke about a month later. So, overall seemed poor value for money.
