The Shure SM7B: An American Classic
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!Read full review

Fake, but still, okay.
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 lives up to its sterling reputation
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.Read full review

Great Mic. Great Price.
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.Read full review

Very good sound from a dynamic mic.
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.Read full review
Great Mic Worth the extra $$$$$$
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 .

Great Mic, but you’ll need a pre that can really kick
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. Read full review

Great studio mic
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.Read full review
Great mic and features.
This SM7B Looks and sounds very good . I did not have a chance to compere with the USA made SM7B but for what I got I am happy so far . The price is about 1/4 of the real stuff and I can not tell. It is a bit heavy , so one would need a good heavy stand for it and maybe a cloudllifter if you don't have a good pre-amp for a studio recording.Read full review

Amazing microphone!!
All I gotta say is I LOVE the quality of this product. And when I paired it up with my new Pyle mixer…. Life changing as I was using a audiotecnica 2035 with a scarlet prior to this. And this new setup blows it away!! Read full review
