Excellent review of the new Shure MV7 and Blue Yeti. I currently have the Blue Yeti and your video answered any questions about the MV7 I would have. At this point, I'm satisfied keeping with the Blue Yeti based on the points you discussed. Thank you.

Awesome. Glad it helped you

As a non-professional audio person, I prefer the Shure MV7 because I do not have an acoustically treated room, and I am not planning to do much of that. A dynamic mic works the best for my kind of use case.

Boy, this was a lot closer than I was expecting. I have the Yeti and I'm always considering upgrading to the Shure, but this video makes it feel less necessary.

I think it's important to identify what it is that a microphone (or any piece of gear) isn't doing for you, or what can be improved. And if you can't identify specific things, then you probably don't need to upgrade

No problem! Glad you were able to figure it out and happy with the microphone

Great review! I've been using a Blue Yeti for about a year now and have no real issues with it - overall a solid and dependable USB mic. The main problem is a less-than-deal recording space (which can be somewhat overcome through recording software) but I was surprised at how close these two mics were in sound quality. I had been looking at a Shure mic as the next step up (SM7B is out of my price range) and the MV7 seems like a great next mic but, to your credit, this review has really highlighted that this isn't hugely necessary just yet!

Great review! I just recently bought a Shure MV7 after having the Blue Yeti for 4+ years, that mic would pick up everything and constantly having popping/fizzing static noises, it’s cable port also became loose so the cable would always fall out, if I plugged earphones in then it made these beeping noises, the tone sounds harsher and all over the place but now with the MV7 it sounds so sharp and smooth with hardly any background noise, works perfectly with PS4! I love the MOTIV app too so you can lock any custom setting on it before using it on other devices. I still love both mics though as I can take advantage of using the condenser and dynamic for different things :) I have heard that using an SM7B windscreen on the MV7 also helps a lot! Glad I bought that windscreen too as it would stop any potential explosive noises.

so a problem i ran into with the yeti is that they are internally coded the same so when using them with a mac, it cannot tell the difference between the two mics and therefore cannot use them at the same time. does the mv7 have this issue?

Really like your presentation style. Something to add is that used mics are also an option especially starting out. I got the 67 yeti pro with the two xlr cables, USB and pop filter for $75. Also Amazon refurbished/preowned is something I've had good luck with.

Thanks for the great review. One thing that is making me consider upgrading to the MV7 from the Yeti is the voice isolation and lower sensitivity. With my Yeti I pick up more background noise (traffic, PC fans, room noise) than I'd like. Your recording room seems to be well-controlled, so I wonder whether the advantages of the MV7 don't shine as much as they might in a noisier space.

This was really helpful. What I had noticed from the MV7 compared to the Blue Yeti would have to have been how it picked up the surrounding sounds. The Blue Yeti had picked up surrounding sounds such as his hands when they clap together, mind you not very loudly, and the shock from hitting the desk while recording. Not only that but the Yeti also picks up keyboard sounds and a lot of surrounding sounds compared to the MV7. The MV7 sounds slightly muffled and a little bit more deafened compared to the Blue Yeti, but it doesn't pick up as many ambient sounds or surrounding sounds as it focuses more on vocals. If you plug the MV7 through its XLR Cable into an audio interface, I believe the sound quality will become a lot better compared to the blue yet in terms of their vocals. On a side note, the Yeti sounds deeper compared to the MV7. In conclusion, I believe for those wanting a good quality mic but don't want to spend too much money, they should purchase the Yeti for podcasts as well as video recording but not singing or production. For those who want to sing or produce music as well as podcast professionally, and don't have the budget for the SM7B at the moment, should definition buy the MV7 as it is a great budget XLR mic.

Run on phantom power or use cloud lifter if you want it to have more gain via XLR (cloud lifter still needs phantom anyhow). The SM7B's filter head fits on this and will mitigate plosive and sibilance issues, the mv7's issue is the spacing between the pickup head and the filter tip.

I absolutely hate the blue yeti, anyone can tell me if the mv7 is easier to use? I have had a constant battle of fighting against keystrokes with it, and can never get it to where if i speak a little quiete the sound gate does not cut me off, or it lets key strokes through.

Great video, just got the MV7 but realized the voice isn’t as good as I expected it to be just over USB. So am now looking at the Yeti X.

I have a SM7B And MV7 They Are very Closer over XRL Turning on High compression or USB (MV7) gives you the same sound as the SM7B. These 2 sound about the same wonder if he did some EQ?

I had a Blue Yeti for like 8/9 years, and loved it! Now I have the shure mv7 and you're right there not that much difference in sound. The nice thing about the sm7 though it has both USB and XLR input. Which means I can go next level with it If I want to. Also the software with the SM7 it makes it really easy to use for new time mic users. The Yeti is more versitile though, with all the different mic setups. But if your just going to do podcast/streams/youtube the. I highly recommend the shure. The Shure is more versitile with a boom as well. The yeti always felt a bit clunky in that regard. Anyway, both amazing mics but personally like the Shure better overall even though it's more expensive. Good vid!

Thanks for the comments. You're right about the software, that's a big deal for the MV7 and the Yeti is a bit big and clunky. As for the price, the XLR and USB version of the Yeti is the same price as the MV7, so there's not much difference in that regard either.

Super helpful and awesome video! I do have one question. Using the shure MV7 with Zoom.

I don't know how to quantify it, but the Shure just has a bit of a smoother or richer tone. But the differences are so minute, hard to pinpoint, and really only perceptible when you're scrutinizing both mics back to back. I don't have a Yeti X unfortunately. Do they have the same capsule? One's just XLR and the other is USB?

Hello! Thank you very much for this video. I watched a lot of reviews on various USB microphones and did not find information about the possibilities of connecting, for example, Blue Yeti without a computer directly to a DSLR camera via a headphone output with USB power through a power bank. Tell me is it possible? Do you know?

@PhillipRPeck

Жыл бұрын

Hi. I'm really not sure if that setup would work to be honest. I think the Yeti and other similar USB microphones need driver software to interface correctly with the computer and therefore I don't know what would happen if you just plugged one into a camera via a 3.5" cable. Could be worth a shot but it might be easier just to get an on-camera video microphone and run a long 3.5" cable to it. Something like the Rode Videomic NTG

I've been looking to upgrade my mic, I'm really new to the game. My first mic was and is the razer seiren x. It was a major improvement over my old headset mic I feel, but my room is too noisy. My pc puts out at least 55-65db of straight fan noise and i have a ceiling fan on max always. so I use Krisp to remove it. After hearing both the blue sounds really the same to me but from your description it sounds like the shure will be better.

@PhillipRPeck

2 жыл бұрын

It's tough to do much with all that fan noise but the MV7 might give you better results. You could try to get your current mic as close to you as comfortably possible and turn its gain down so it's getting your voice more in relation to all the other noise

Many thanks for your vid and this comparison! Really helpfull! I think I prefer a bit sound of Yeti which is brighter and more dynamic. And mic is more versatile. And I've noticed a lot of "pop" with MV7 and no with Yeti... But MV7 got a deeper and mat sound, and for what I need it for, I think it is better.

Hiya - Question - I have been using the Yeti for my YT channel for almost 2 years; good mic, I have realised I actually have a slight room reverb, I didn't know anything when I started. So Research has lead me to looking at MV7 because I don't have a treated room, and need USB. You mention its rather sensitive for a Dynamic mic, would you still recommend it to me? My room isn't echoing, its not really too bad, but it could be better so if I can improve it, I want to. Also, mouth sounds as a side issue are also a battle which I clean up with software etc, but I would think a dynamic like MV7 would pick up less mouth sounds than Yeti by way of being less sensitive?

@PhillipRPeck

Жыл бұрын

It could help with reverb because you're generally going to need to be a bit closer to the MV7 than the Yeti, but you could try just getting a bit closer to the Yeti and turning down the gain so it isolates your voice a bit better. If that's possible. The MV7 will definitely be less sensitive to mouth sounds, but it is pretty susceptible to plosives so you have to be careful there. Lot's of people pick up the SM7B windscreen for the MV7, which helps a lot. A little reverb isn't a big deal, it helps your recording sound more natural. But if it's a big, echoey room, then yeah, could be distracting. You could add some rugs, hang some stuff on the walls, etc. Breaking up and absorbing sound waves with everyday objects helps a lot, too

Very well done and interesting, thanks. As others have said, I am surprised how similar they sound. But, you are going a great job at recording, and I suspect there's a bigger real-life difference in more typical conditions. I don't have the MV7, but while you indicate it's sensitive for a dynamic mic, I doubt it's going to pick up a faucet running downstairs, or the cat scratching 2 rooms away, or simply your clothing rustling if you fidget or move your hands around, as the Yeti does. I'll take a decent dynamic mic over even an expensive condenser mic, for real world recording.

Thank you for the comment. I think if the Yeti, or any condenser mic, is picking up that much noise, you have the gain too high. They are usually cardioid (or have that option), so they should reject noise off-axis just like a dynamic

But doing the best to eliminate ambient sounds to the degree possible is the best practice. Thanks again

I feel the yeti a tad bit darker, or with abit more lower frequency precense than the MV7. The MV7 sounds abit more balanced. Both incredibly similar, and great audio quality!

Hello, you think shure mv7 is really good for home studio music ?

Hi Kevin. I'm not a musician so I can't really say. Check out Podcastage and Audio Hotline. They include instruments and singing in their reviews. In terms of specs, it should be fine.

Hey love this video. Just subscribed. This was just the comparison I was looking for. Thanks. I have the blue yeti and it works very well for what I do, but I’m always interested in upgrades when new shiny objects are released. :) I’ve been reluctant to get an XLR when the usb mic seems to work well for the basic stuff I have produced. Do you have any thoughts on upgrading if ‘nothing is broke’? Or, rather, how do you decide if you need a new mic or not? Thanks.

I tend to buy a lot of stuff that I don't exactly need, so I'm not the best person to offer advice. But, since you asked ... I'd encourage you to keep using what you're using if you're satisfied with it. I think you should "upgrade" if you can identify specific things that you aren't able to do or that your aren't satisfied with in your current setup. I started looking into XLR mics when I had a business case for doing it (running live streams & podcasts). But if it were just me in my studio, a USB mic would be perfect

Hi Phillip, Thanks for this comparison. It's very interesting to see how the Yeti still holds up. If you can it would be great to see these types of mics compared to shotgun mics. I see a lot of people using mics like the NTG4+ and Deity mics for studio work. What do you think about this?

Hi James, thanks for the comment and I agree, the Yeti sounds great. I was actually working on a comparison including a Deity Shotgun mic...so stay tuned.

Are you using any filters or apps while recording this sound or is it just "raw" sound

No, it's straight from the microphone. I would definitely tell you if there is any processing on the audio

Do yo have to have a deep voice for this mic to sound good?

@PhillipRPeck

I wouldn't think so. I don't think either mic favors the low end too much

Seems like the MV7 would be better at cutting out keyboard sounds if typing while talking. But, the Yeti is more forgiving if you're not super close. Is that correct?

Is the mv7 good for voice/music recording

@PhillipRPeck

3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I think it would do a nice job but the frequency range isn't quite as broad as other dynamic mics that are more purpose built for that application

with shure mv7 there is an app you can play around with. I kind of always wanted to get one just for gaming amongst other projects, but I might be overdoing it

Wow! You sound sooooo good with the blue yeti! I have a blue yeti right now- looking to "upgrade" to the mv7 due to the Blue Yeti having this weird static problems with it. Have you ever experienced this static issue with the yeti? (KZread it. Others are also experiencing the same thing. Some are claiming to be interference)

There was still interference/static noices :( This audio dude told me it was something with sample rate but I checked- used both 44.1 and 48k. Both had static. idk what to do so the plan is to buy the MV7 and try it and see if it was just the mic. [and pray :( ]

I just got a Blue Yeti for $60 second hand. I already have the Scarlet set, but I left it back home. Got the Yeti for a more “portable” setup… and it also looks more aesthetic for my improptu singing videos. :)
