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.

Calidad incomparable por el precio

I was looking for a mic to use while streaming, and Shure is already a name I trust, so I figured I'd give this mic a shot.I use this mic about 2 feet from me and my audience hears me clearly. I use it on my desk with the stand, but you can put it on a dedicated mount by removing the rubber screw-in foot on the leg in the back. It comes with an adapter to fit a smaller post, but I found it incredibly difficult to remove once screwed in. I had considered putting it on a tripod but that adapter was so hard to remove that I just decided to use it on my desk for now.Using the touch buttons makes things pretty easy, since you don't need to interface with software if you don't want to.I only have one gripe, and that's the abnormally short 3 foot cable length. This might be fine if you are using this with a mobile device that is right next to the mic, or with a laptop that is also very close. It couldn't make the distance from the back of my desktop tower to where I have it resting on my desk without being almost completely taut. It comes with multiple cables, but they are all this unreasonably short length. Contrary to what I have read in another review, the cable is standard. I am using a 10+ year old USB-A to Micro USB cable from a Blackberry and it is working perfectly. If you don't have a similar cable around, then I'd strongly suggest getting a longer cable if you plan on using this for any normal distance.Aside from that, I have no complaints. The build quality is solid, heavy metal and it's been working wonders for me in the couple of months that I have been using it.
