Thanks for the review My wife and I are thinking of recording ourselves musically She is a huge apple- Mac fan I’m pretty crappy at everything We want easy to use entry level She plays guitar and piano I play blues harp and a little ukulele Thanks again
A great review and well structured presentations. Thank you! I’m considering between the Mv5, and the MV88+. I understand it’s a different types but if you can do a quick comparison between the two it would be awesome 🙏🏻
I was considering buying this mic for recording unfinished songs I am working on on my iPhone. It came down to this or the Samson Meteor Mic. I chose the Samson because of price and on webinars that I do I use another Samson mic that I have had a good experience with. Back in the day I would use Realistic brand mics (think Radio Shack) and supposedly they were Shure mics rebranded. Regardless those Realistic mics performed well in gigs and home recording. Also the Meteor Mic doesn’t have all the bells and whistles as the Shure but it does what I need it to do. Good review and thanks.
I’m using this mic for zoom. When i use the flat or instrumental mode, it will be quite soft for the other party even though i have turned the mic volume to 100% on the zoom mic settings. However there is no problem on the chat mode, normally I have the mic volume set to about 80% and people are able to hear clearly. Is there any other way to increase the gain on the mic itself? I think there are custom settings I can set from the motiv app. Not sure if that can be done. Thank you.
Hi, there is no way of adjusting mic gain on the mic. You can adjust in the System Preferences -> Sound on a Mac, or in the Control Panel on Windows. If you are using the Motiv App, there are more custom settings, but generally they are to adjust compression and EQ rather than overall gain. So I guess stick with the vocal mode for Zoom ...
Thanks! I almost find it hard to believe the quality of sound that came from that little mic during your comparison to the android mic. Amazing! I appreciate the comparison to the snowball as well. I use Windows 10 and apparently the blue snowball when used on a windows 10 machine produces a terrible static noise! For that reason I’m buying the mv5. Would you say the mv5 audio quality is better than the snowball? Or just different?
Another fab review. I have this mic. I need another mic stand option for recording guitar at my desk. Could I ask what stand and adapter setup you are using in the video?
I can't seem to find the Shure Motiv software that will work with the MV5 If you have a link would you be so kind as to share it? Thank you for your helpful videos.
Dear friend: Thanks for useful demo. Request your opinion on: SHURE MV5 usb mic...&... RODE NT USB Mini... can you please tell which of the above TWO mic - has crisp- clear- warmth sound quality suitable for Vocal- Singing for home recording. Thanks Dilip, India
thanks for the great video, I am struggling to pick up a mic for online teaching, my head just saying buy Blue yati but I also like these small ones. any recommendation please, thanks
At 5:35 you said "you can record yourself along with a backing track". Can you say I little more? A bought that mic for a gift after your review and cant get that feature to work. Background music stops when you start recording. Thanks.
Hi there, I feel like we made our set up too complicated by getting a canon 77D and then subscribing to ecamm. We're also using a centrace USB mixer that has wired mics, and we've been noticing that that both live and on the recordings there's a slight delay between the lips and the voice... Any thoughts? Also, we're trying to figure this conundrum out, which is regarding the class recordings... the quality of the zoom recordings are not that great. Ecamm recordings are better. The issue is that when we play the music through "share audio" feature on zoom, it's not saving on ecamm recording, and when we play audio music through ecamm the people live on zoom can't hear it. Any thoughts? Should we get rid of the canon camera and just get a USB webcam and USB mic? Okay, one more question while I have your attention. I hope you don't mind. The setting should be "turn off original sound." YES? If yes, is there a way to change it in the zoom default settings because I noticed all our meetings are set to "turn on original sound," and I can't find the master button for this... Thank you for your time. Your videos have been so helpful!
Thank you very much for the video. I love this mic but having difficulties setting the equalizer when recording female singing voice, I like it with little bass, less treble, please help , thanks.
Depends how you want to use it. Would be very good for live-streaming with the built in DSP. The other mics you mention, you could record with them and post process. You can hear unedited recordings of all three in action here soundcloud.com/musicrepo
Hi, it is a very good mic for the money - if this is the max your budget would allow then it's a good contender. You can compare all the mics I've tested here, and listen to hi-res audio recorded with them, without any post production, so you can get an idea of how they stack up in a typical home environment. www.musicrepo.com/which-usb-microphone/
@@MusicRepo Thank you! I have the rode Nt-1a and the shure mic that goes in my iphone and saw this mic on sale for $55 and wondered if it was worth picking up.
Have you tried comparing the pickup from different distances away. I was wondering how well it would pickup a group for singing as well as on a small conference table. Being a cardiod pattern I would think it would work well but I haven't found any info on this.
Can you please tell me how to enable sound in iPad device ( internal speakers) when shure mv5 is connected. I need to always remove the lightning cable from device to hear sound
You can't do that I don't think ... if the Shure MV5 is connected you hear the sound through heaphones connected to the mic. I don't think there is a way on iPad to use separate devices for recording and playback. But I might be wrong.
Gosh .... I think this one in speech mode is pretty good, can record at 24-bit, and is cheaper. Audition them both here, to see which one you think sounds best at full res, but on balance I think the MV5 is quite a good choice. And multi-platform out of the box soundcloud.com/musicrepo
Can anybody pls tell me how to use this Shure Mv5 for sound input only? I use it for zoom meetings for better sound input quality, but don't need to use it for sound output. Is there a way I can keep my laptop built-in speaker working without wearing a headset to hear sound output when using this Shure Mv5? Thank you so much!
Yes, in Zoom just select your computer speakers as output, and the MV5 as mic. Zoom very clever at echo cancellation so this is not an issue. I almost always use different devices for sound in and out with Zoom. Just go to the audio settings

Wow! Blown away by your thorough reviews and the info you offered. Thank you!
I was looking for a portable microphone and this looks so useful and also very cute!
Great review - have been looking at this mic for some time and your review did it for me!
I really appreciate the fact that this review is in a home office setting! Thank you, I'm now confident in my decision to purchase it.
Great review, thank you, dear colleague!
Thanks for the review
My wife and I are thinking of recording ourselves musically
She is a huge apple- Mac fan
I’m pretty crappy at everything
We want easy to use entry level
She plays guitar and piano
I play blues harp and a little ukulele
Thanks again
Got it for €50, so I believe it was a decent purchase. Thank you a lot for the video! :)

Hi, don't have an MV88+ so unfortunately cannot do this comparison - sorry
I got the red one and I love it :)
Great review. Thanks.

I had to press the mode button whilst putting it on and sticking in the mic otherwise it didn't work and even the brochure didn't explain that
Dear friend: Thanks for useful demo. Request your opinion on:

Nice review...Thanks
Would you recommend for someone starting out with a podcast? Was also thinking about getting an MV7 down the line.

Very good video thank you. may I ask which mic you would recommend to record an acoustic upright piano? thank you in advance for your help.
Nice & Thanks :)
is this also a condebcer mike ? by the way fasinating prrsrntation i have subscribe to your channels thank you madam
Thank you very much for the video. I love this mic but having difficulties setting the equalizer when recording female singing voice, I like it with little bass, less treble, please help , thanks.
Compare to the MV51
Which one. For vocals. Is it only used for recording. I have been looking at the se v7 microphone
Do you think it's worth the price? ($100dlls in my country) or i should get a blue yeti instead or maybe even some cheaper like the blue snowball
Depends how you want to use it. Would be very good for live-streaming with the built in DSP. The other mics you mention, you could record with them and post process. You can hear unedited recordings of all three in action here soundcloud.com/musicrepo
Very nice. I love your voice
What adapter would I need to connect it to a Samsung phone? Does it come with it?
Could I use this microphone to record drums? will it clip? recording into an iphone video
how do i plug it in my pc? and is there any other ways to hear my voice from the mic without using headphones? i only have speakers.
Would this be good for paid voice over work?
Hi, it is a very good mic for the money - if this is the max your budget would allow then it's a good contender.

@@MusicRepo Thank you! I have the rode Nt-1a and the shure mic that goes in my iphone and saw this mic on sale for $55 and wondered if it was worth picking up.
It's a good mic for that price!
I have a question but nobody talks about it anywhere in RUclips. How does it get power? Through the iPhone only?
Hi, how Shure MV5 compares with The nano blue yet? Thanks
Can you recommend which mic is great for iphone user?with lightning cable included so no need to buy otg connector
Can I use it for zoom , teams meeting in iPhone/iPad? When i tried, they said to close all app that uses recording
Have you tried comparing the pickup from different distances away. I was wondering how well it would pickup a group for singing as well as on a small conference table. Being a cardiod pattern I would think it would work well but I haven't found any info on this.
Hi, I haven't done that, this guy has ruclips.net/video/g-MhUGLGCVQ/видео.html
can I use this mic with Android phone
What exactly is gain and how do you change it?
would you recommend this mic for aspiring recording artists?
if not, could you give me some recommendations on which mics are good
It’s a good starter mic forsure I had like 3 they kept getting stolen
Can you please tell me how to enable sound in iPad device ( internal speakers) when shure mv5 is connected. I need to always remove the lightning cable from device to hear sound
You can't do that I don't think ... if the Shure MV5 is connected you hear the sound through heaphones connected to the mic. I don't think there is a way on iPad to use separate devices for recording and playback. But I might be wrong.
For Voiceovers would you recommend this mic, or the AT2020USB+?
Gosh .... I think this one in speech mode is pretty good, can record at 24-bit, and is cheaper. Audition them both here, to see which one you think sounds best at full res, but on balance I think the MV5 is quite a good choice. And multi-platform out of the box

what cable to connect to pc?
This mic is so durable u can throw it full speed to the floor and it will work like nothing happen some other mics not so much
Interesting ... I'm not in the habit of throwing my mics on the floor to test them in that way 😬
How about the microusb port? it seems flimsy
Can anybody pls tell me how to use this Shure Mv5 for sound input only? I use it for zoom meetings for better sound input quality, but don't need to use it for sound output.
