It may be the most overrated microphone ever!

If you want it for podcasting, okay, go for it.... but if you want it for recording vocals, instruments, etc., just forget about it!

With so much money, you can buy amazing condenser microphones that simply outperform the SM7B in terms of performance, clarity, etc.

Even the AKG P120 is far better than this!

The product is very good and you will also see very good reviews wherever you read. However, compared to the condenser microphone I have at half the cost, it has less clarity in voice purity. Of course, anyone who chooses this microphone chooses it because they want to "pull" less noise in environments with inadequate sound insulation or to speak very close without distortions and intense proximity. The build quality is one of the best you can find. I give it 4 stars only because of the cost. I believe it could cost less, even with compromises in build quality.

Edit: After at least 1 year together in a personal recording studio, I have only good things to say. No matter which condenser microphone I worked with, none of them had such a high-quality result in terms of noise reduction. I feel like I love it and wouldn't change it except for the electrovoice re-20, not for the quality but for the last one's ability to adjust the sound intensity with small head rotations. If you don't move much in your chair, then the Shure SM7B is the best you can get for a studio with low or moderate sound insulation and with strong noises in the mouth. It's no coincidence that M. Jackson used it for the legendary album Thriller.

However, you should know that it requires a lot of dB gain. I have connected it to the golden age pre 73 dlx preamp, which has 80dB gain. In order not to work at maximum with resulting noise, I have used the Triton Audio FetHead. Now there is a lot of amplification with a very clean result without needing to stick to the microphone to have sufficient intensity in the DAW and without needing to digitally amplify the signal.
