After noticing how incredible a few of my European colleagues audio sounded on Teams calls and when recording a webinar, I confirmed they were all using various forms of dynamic podcasting mics. I'd been using the built-in stereo mic from my Insta360 Link, which was solid, but noticeably lacked in comparison to my colleagues when listening to a playback. My decision then came down to the MV7, the SM7B, and Rode's Podcaster Pro USB. The MV7 won out because of the USB convenience when I'm in my home office, the "far mode" (I don't want the mic in the shot during regular business meetings, but will close-mic for other purposes), and the ability to use the XLR connection when working from my studio where I have a Scarlett 1820i interface. That kind of versatility is rare but appreciated.
Performance-wise, this is immediately an elevation to your sound. I have it plugged in via USB to a Lightning Hub, which my Macbook Pro then plugs into. The MV7 was immediately recognized and I set it to my default audio device. The Motiv software is basic, but useful in terms of setting it up for manual or auto control. I've left it in Auto "far" mode for meetings, meaning it dynamically adjusts the gain to compensate for the 16-18-ish" inch distance I sit from the mic, and the results have been amazing. Flipping to manual control for closer applications takes a couple clicks. This is the best voiceover mic I've ever used. The USB vs XLR difference is predominantly in the bottom end and the lower-mids. The character is exactly the same regardless of interface type, but with the XLR connection running through my Gen3 Scarlett, the MV7 can be made to sound almost indistinguishable from an SM7B, and I don't say that lightly.
If you are thinking about getting this mic, you should probably just get this mic. The only other mics I've ever recommend this highly are the Shure SM58 and the AKG C414. All provide exceptional value, quality, and capability for their intended purposes.

What you want to know is, does this high end microphone live up to the hype? Answer: Yes. Sound quality, even through a USB C connection (the mic also takes XLR), is superb. The product is well made and substantial. As others have noted, adding a pop filter would help since it is sensitive to plosives.
The shureplus motiv software (downloadable from their site) is simple but functional. It provides a variety of equalizer settings. The mic also sounds great without them.
I’ve had no issues using this mic with Microsoft Teams or Zoom on a MacBook.
The Shure mini tripod with the mic on it is pretty substantial in size and is not height-adjustable though the mic can tilt and spin. A boom is a better choice if your desk space is limited or your desk height isn’t adjustable.
The photo above shows the mic on a Shure tripod relative to a MacBook Pro 13 inch. The tabletop to the top of the mic is about a foot. From the tip of the nearest tripod leg to the tip of the farthest tripod leg is about 7.5 inches.
The next thing you want to know is: How does this mic compare with the Yeti, which is substantially cheaper and very popular?
The answer is that this microphone is far superior in sound quality and build. The Yeti is more than 10 years old in design, and has wonderful features such as the ability to switch the directional mode of the microphone from capturing one person to capturing a group. But it is an entry-level microphone, assembled with relatively inexpensive parts. The Shure, by contrast, is a professional quality microphone with a correspondingly professional build—and cost.
So if you need the higher quality, and can afford it, the Shure is a big step forward from the Yeti.
