Shure MOTIV Series MV5C-USB Home-Office Microphone
Reviewed by Simon on B&H Photo Video
This mic makes a huge difference in audio quality over the built-in mic in my laptop or headphones. When you're working from home, it relaly helps to have a quality mic which makes your voice more understandable. It's very reasonably priced for what it does, and is true plug and play - no drivers are software needed.
Great, affordable microphone

I purchased this microphone in order to get better sound quality for sermon videos. It's very affordable, and the sound quality is quite good. It's very easy to use with an iPhone. Just plug it in and start recording, a lightning cable was included. It's just what I needed, and was money well spent.
This mic is great for mobile recording.

I use this mic to record live drums. I turn the gain down to half capacity and have my drummer lay down his part while listening to a pre recorded track of a song I made on Garage Band. I then sync these tracks up later on GB. Lower the high and crank up the lows. It's sounds pretty good.
much better than built in or airpods

If you're trying to get better sounding zoom calls etc I did three tests comparing built in apple mic, AirPods Pro and the Shure MV5. Hands down the Shure was much better sounding. No hollow sound like the built in microphone on the laptop and no thin, tin sound like on the AirPods via bluetooth. Definitely the winner.
Great value

Just got this to make Zoom meetings sound better, works well. I needed something that would still sound good from over 16" away. It sits on my desktop, out of camera view, and I'm told it sounds like FM radio. Easy to use.

I've had a preference for Shure microphones since the 80's. I didn't know they had gaming mics. I was shopping on B&H for a new compact gaming mic for a Mini ITX gaming build because I knew you guys would have high quality mics and was surprised to see Shure gaming microphones. Everybody that has heard me online has said my new mic sounds great! Thanks again B&H!

The connectivity options and the small size make this microphone very versatile. Whether you use it for teleconference or music recording on the go, it does its job decently. I found it to be at the sweet spot in terms of features, performance and price.
Great Combo setup........

Reviewed by Frank on B&H Photo Video
The mic is so easy to setup and very clear according to the people I have talked with. The speakers are perfect size and volume for conference calls, which is what I use them for. If yo are looking for a decent conference call setup where you don't have to wear headphones, this is a good combo.
Yes!!

Works great and is priced perfectly! I wouldn't pay anymore or less for a mic functioning at this rate. A little laggy but that is fixed with using a separate audio recorder and dragged into the other one.
Great Product, Amazing Portability

Great sound quality. Although, with the Shure motiv app, you have less options when it comes to sound quality. Great use with computer.

I bought this microphone to record voice and video, understanding that it would be an upgrade to the program that brings the IPhone XR but it really wasn't much help because it wasn't much the difference between recording directly from the phone to using the microphone and its application!

So glad I didn't let other reviews that were focused on the the plastic scare me away from this little jewel. The MV5 is tougher than it looks and performs very well for the money.
