I was huming and hawing about picking this microphone out over a whole bunch of other choices. I’m glad I paid the price and went premium. You can really see the quality difference over a $150 headset or any other microphone I’ve ever used in the medium low end. Your voice is buttery smooth and sounds a lot more like how you hear it in your own head.
I use it for mostly narrating stocks on a daily stream. Everyone loves it. May not be the best bang for your buck, but it’s definitely not garbage.
I’d say the only major drawback is the USB connection. It’s rock solid but yeah you could see how we could snap over time. Controls on the microphone are pretty good, but if you’re hooked to a computer or not using it on a stage or something it’s not a big deal – but I can see it being very useful in semi live scenario.
I paired it with the blue boom mic, and it works fairly well. The microphone I don’t think is heavy enough even though it’s a fairly heavy microphone. I had to loosen the screw almost to all the way off just to get it to work semi-properly.

After getting by with a basic home set up of a blue yeti shared between two people for our podcast, we decided to invest in some decent quality gear and grab two of these on boom arms linked to an m-audio duo. First thing to say is that they are really well packaged and robustly built which inspires confidence. I’ve only used them so far via XLR inputs into the interface so I cant speak to the USB link and software, but what I will say is its made editing the mix a dream. As someone thats worked in a few pro studios as a performer, producer and an engineer over the years, I know a quality bit of gear the second I start working with it and these are definitely that.
They are quite directional, so proper mic technique is preferred and close positioning is a must, but you’ll be rewarded with an instantly rich, mid-focused and warm sound that is recognisably NPR like in its audio and so quality to begin with you could easily get away without processing it at all. Despite the natural warmth of the sound theres a nice level of clarity and treble detail that can easily be brought out with the most basic of EQ, but by default is never harsh or tinny. I used to have an effects chain of 10 plus plugins on our audio in a desperate attempt to even it out and get a half decent sound, with these mics I have 2 very gentle plugins just to add a last bit of polish and thats it. They are a little prone to plosives sometimes depending on how forcefully someone speaks, so an extra pop filter is a very good idea, but then I’d say that with any decent close-mic setup and filters are incredibly cheap.
The directionality is actually pretty useful as they don’t pick up much of the room at all, and again this is without SHUREs processing software so it is an actual characteristic of the mic. I’d say you could mic your speaking voice up in a marble hallway and as long as you spoke close to the mic it’d sound studio like, so that whole reputation of “so good it can fix a bad room” is very much deserved. No more spending hours trying to remove reverb for me! (as an aside, if you’re struggling with reverb or “removing the room” on any mic setup I’d recommend ERA 4s reverb remover, its literally the only one I’ve ever found that works. Just dont set it above 50% or you can hear the wash).
All in all I’d say these were a bargain, and if you wanted any better you’d be looking at £800+ per mic for a Rhodes or similar and even then the difference would be minimal. They really are that good. If you have the money and are looking to elevate your audio to pro level without dropping thousands, these are the perfect choice. I’ve actually had other podcasts contact us to ask about our setup because we now sound so good, and everyone assumes we are recording in a pro studio rather than a front room. An absolute must buy if you want to compete with the big boys, we sound better than 99% of the podcasts in the game and that has improved our listener numbers significantly. Do not hestitate to invest, they are virtually foolproof and take all of the stress out of audio production.

I love this Mic. It was setup and running 5 minutes after it was delivered. It has some simple software that goes with it to control sound, EQ, etc. I immediately had to be a guest on a webinar and then next day on a podcast, and the mic was perfect, and my sound was great. Highly recommend this.
