The second the Shure MV7i was shown off at this year’s CES event, it piqued my interest.

It feels robust in your hand and is made from a high-quality metal.

The microphone has a long list of features, including the customizable LED touch panel I mentioned earlier.

Should you buy the Shure MV7i?

The hindrance of the Shure MV7i is naturally its lack of any stand.

During that time, I used it to record multiple episodes of a non-work-related podcast.
