While the Shure Mv7 Plus is popular with streamers and podcasters, it’s equally good at impressing your friends and coworkers on meetings and Discord calls. It’s currently marked down to $255 at various retailers, including Amazon, Guitar Center, and directly from Shure. That’s almost $50 lower than its usual price, and just a few dollars off Amazon’s all-time low. If you don’t already have a stand, both Amazon and Shure are offering a bundle that includes the mic and a desktop stand for $269, and the white model is also discounted at Amazon.

Shure’s popular podcasting and streaming mic is almost $50 off

This Verge-favorite microphone for podcasting is discounted, along with other audio products.

Shure’s MV7 Plus is an updated version of its popular USB microphone. The new version features a USB-C port, a customizable LED light panel, and several additional features available in the Motiv Mix app.

When our team shared some of our favorite audio gear in late 2024, we noted that the Mv7 Plus was the mic we send to podcast guests for remote interviews. It’s known for its crisp and clean audio quality, with auto-leveling and denoising, so you can use it without touching an equalizer.

The MV7’s unique shape and sonic profile is inspired by the Shure SM7B (also discounted), a microphone that’s often used in professional recording. This version is meant as a more budget-friendly variant for content creators looking for a simpler setup, with both an XLR output and USB-C, letting you wire into an audio interface or directly to a computer.
