Reviews

Great little microphone!

This is a solid little unit, with metal construction. I'm using it with my iphone 16 Pro Max. It is recognized immediately, and the MOTIV app works seamlessly with it. The sound quality is excellent. Just don't expect it to sound like a $ microphone and you'll be fine. For the reviewer who thought it should have a headphone jack, what are you talking about? If you need that kind of monitoring, buy a zoom field recorder. This mic works exactly as advertised and is excellent.

Convenient mic
This mic sounds good and very useful for recording rehearsal and performance videos.
Music background: Singer songwriting multi-instrumentalist
Unexpected Sound Hack
I got this Shure MV88 USB-C in order to do my audio book narration when I am traveling. I needed a high-quality plug-and-play microphone that would capture the highest level of quality without compromise and still be portable enough to travel with me essentially everywhere. It does exactly what I needed to do with that exceptional Shure quality built to last.

The only downside or negative aspect of this mic is that there's no way to monitor yourself while you are recording, which is a bit of a slip for someone who does voiceover and audio books. For that, I'd say that if you need that feature, don't get this one. Get the Rode VideoMic Me C plus. It would be a much better option for you. If monitoring is not an issue, this mic will probably hit the Rode mic out of the park in terms of pure quality.
Needs a headphone jack
Love the specs on this, but disappointed there is no headphone jack. It would be nice to use with a multitrack recorder.
