It looks very similar to the now iconicShure SM7dBjust a little smaller and condensed.

It comes with a very sturdy and nicely designed desktop stand that simply screws onto the microphone holder.

For your money, youll also get a 1-metre-long USB-C cable which is disappointingly short.

A less noticeable difference is through the digital popper stopper which aims to reduce the harsh puh sounds.

It does manage to make it sound more pleasant to listen to and reduces the poppy sound.

Should you buy the Shure MV6?

Sure, you could splash out a little bit more funds on the MV7 model.

And sure, you could want to use XLR over USB-C as your connection.

Alongside my use of the microphone, I used the Motiv Mix App as mentioned in the review.

While streaming I used OBS to stream to Twitch and for script recording I utilised Adobe Audition and Audacity.
