I work from home and take a lot of phone calls and web meetings using Skype, GoToMeeting, WebEx and Zoom. I also do a lot of web presentations through powerpoint and software. I'm probably not the average consumer for this mic, since I wanted a really great setup to handle conference calls. My bluetooth and usb headsets were irritating me in regards to voice quality. Maybe I'm similar to a streamer?I tested it by connecting to my 2018 MacBook Pro and using QuickTime and Zoom to record simple audio clips.Like all the other reviewers say, this mic is built like a tank. Weighs 1lb in an all metal casing, really nice input and output jacks, touch panel is responsive and everything just feels like it was built with care and pride.Voice quality. I have this about 5-6" away from my mouth, with 50% gain, in neutral mode and my voice sounds really clear. Finally a setup that I can comfortably say it does exactly what I was looking for, which is crystal clear audio. And by crystal clear, I mean crystal clear to a fault.Since this is a condenser mic, it will literally pick up everything that remotely resembles a sound wave. My toddler banging toys around the hallway or whining? Yep. Someone washing their hands? Yep. Talking in the other room? Yep. Birds chirping outside while my window is closed? Yep. BUT my voice is still super clear! Yay!So how to remove the unwanted background noise from a condenser mic when using it in real-time? Remember, I can't do post processing because I'm on a live conference call, not making a recording. Some reviewers will say lower the gain and get intimate with your mic, like really intimate. Um, no thanks. I'm on conference calls 4-5 hours a day. Others will say ditch the condenser mic and get a dynamic mic with XLR connection, run it through a USB audio interface into your computer, and problem solved. Um, no thanks. I don't have the Taj Mahal of desks to add more boxes on it.Solution for noise cancellation? Add a noise gate app, which is a bit of software on your computer that takes your audio, runs it through its algorithm to eliminate unwanted background noise, and outputs a cleaner version. I found one called Krisp AI, and as of May 2019 it is only available in Macs, but there are other noise gate apps available in Windows as well. Basically, under my mac's input and output I have Krisp available as a selection, so in the Krisp app I choose the Shure MV51 as both the output and input but in my web conference app I choose Krisp. And I kid you not, this app worked miracles. And by miracles I mean I was doing a test run and my 2.5 year old started crying in the bathroom next door because he fell in the toilet (still potty training) and my recording picked up zero crying. Zero. And oh yeah it doesn't pick up my keyboard or mouse clicks that are 3" from the mic. Safe to say, a noise gate was the way to go for me.Conclusion? Love this mic. Lots of great USB mics available out there, specially in the $150-200 range. I mainly chose this one because I like the look of it, had good reviews, and there was a touch sensitive mute button. Mostly because there was a touch sensitive mute button. Seriously. But I'm glad I went with this one anyway.

So as a fairly new live streamer I was pushed by friend in the Gaming Content creation towards a specific company, and I picked said mic as my " Starting mic", everyone I know was like once our comfy you should stick with them and step up to the next level lets call it the " Sweati " lol, anyway I was not content going that direction instead I recalled working as an intern at a Radio station in high school and being exposed to good quality audio equipment.Which brought me to Shure I always loved the Super 55 but as I don't want to have to play with XLR and a mixer and the possible need for a cloud lighter etc, I started looking at the USB mics looking for something that gave me the same vibe as the Super 55 , then I saw it the MV51 the fact that it looked so much like the old school shure model 51 sonodyne dynamic microphone sold me almost immediately.So fast forward to the unboxing I love how well packed it was and once you get it in your hand the metal construction feels like I should have paid so much more for this mic, hooking it up and integrating it in to OBS was a breeze, my first live stream my viewers loved the sound quality the built in DSP settings really helped to bring my voice to where I had wanted it all along, I not only get comments on the sound but everyone LOVES the look of this mic, its different its not the " Meta " and I adore that about this mic.My only complaint and its not worth giving it any less then 5 stars in the length of the cable, thankfully I had a rather long cable that worked perfectly fine. I can not say enough wonderful things about this mic , thank you Shure for helping me take my live stream to the next level!

Muy buen micrófono, excelente me gustó la calidad y la parte de poder modificar la ganancia y los modos que tiene, lo pude conectar al iPhone y a la PC.

Excelente

All I can say, is that this microphone is outstanding. It is well thought out and not based on "Marketing" rather than performance and function. I am an audiofile and enjoy some high end home audio equipment. When the pandemic hit like many I was having "zoom" meetings and found so often people were asking "what did you say" or "sorry can you repeat that" so like many I went online looking for a better "COMPUTER MICROPHONE" I must have spent like 1-week looking at different funky brands... some spent more time talking about the LED's and ability to changer colours then they did about the performance and operation of the microphone itself.One day I woke up and was listening to some high quality Media (CD's) and one just sounded so good. I thought boy I wonder how this disc was recorded... I opened the little booklet and as I was reading in the details of the recording, there is was SHURE brand microphones... I almost wacked myself in the head and said... hey I forgot about SHURE! so I went online and looked them up and although they are not the typical branded computer microphone... I found this one and I ordered it.Not a word of a lie.... the first zoom meeting in the first conversation, one of my colleagues asks.... what did you do to your computer? I am like "What do you mean" he says... "I can hear you like you are sitting beside me in the room at my computer." For the rest of the meeting everyone let me talk and say my thoughts and frankly I realized that I had more attention and authority in this meeting than I had in any previous ZOOM meeting. I realized that this came from the fact I sounded so "REAL" and clear. I know such a silly thing... but these zoom meetings lose that personal touch, that "in your face" type conversation but one with subtlety and inflection. The nuance in the way you deliver a word that changes its grammatical meaning.All these calls and meetings and I waisted so much time and effort talking and not being heard (Figuratively speaking). This Shure microphone gave me an immediate presence and advantage and honestly has become my closest business friend. I am constantly being called and asked about what I use for a webcam, and when I ask what it is about their inquiry caused their call... they always say THE AUDIO! I then explain that although I have a good quality webcam (1080P) the audio is my microphone and when they learn what I am using most say, "hey I remember Shure is that the same brand that makes microphones for the stage and concerts?" and I say yes, then they usually say...wow why dont more of the computer systems come with shure branded microphones... I say I have no idea... and in the few situations where my colleagues have purchased the shure microphone... I always get a call back with a thank you for recommending such a good well built excellent performing microphone! I highly recommend buying this unit and can seriously say... it is SOOOO MUCH better than most of the "computer brand marketed" units... with fancy blue LED lights! Shure does what it has always done on stage or in studios... makes you sound really really good! Andy Garbas

Smule di Lusso se accoppiato a degli auricolari decenti, tipo gli shure aonic 215! Ingresso cuffie sulla parte posteriore del corpo del microfono. Qualità costruttiva eccellente, perché va detto che Shure è sempre e comunque una garanzia. Personalmente, ne ho avuti molti di microfoni Shure nell’arco della mia vita: PG58, SM58, BETA 58A filo e radio, BETA 87A, ed ora questo gioiellino tecnologico MV51. Non deludono mai, e se trattati bene sono virtualmente indistruttibili. Oserei dire ereditabili, considerando che il più vecchio che ho era di mio padre e ormai ha quasi 50 anni (ma funziona ancora perfettamente). Questo modello in particolare però mi ha lasciato letteralmente esterrefatto. La qualità del passato e la tecnologia del presente che si abbracciano, fondendosi in un unico, piccolo meraviglioso oggetto. Compatibile con tutti i dispositivi, e con ogni tipo di asta microfonica, grazie al set di cavi e all’adattatore incluso. Allenarsi a cantare non è mai stato così bello.
