Great mic, using it mostly for vocals (female) and I've finally found something that compliments my voice and leaves me very little work to do in post. With and without foam wields different, and equally pleasing results too
High End mic worth every penny

Is it expensive? Yes but it's worth every dollar. Absolutely great microphone. It has a great sound and will meet all your needs. Remember to purchase a cloud or similar DB amplifier. If you don't you'll never get the volume you desire.
Great Mic

Great mic! Needs a fair amount of gain, but as long as you know that going in, it really does a wonderful job. (If you have a 2i2 or something, you might want a passive gain stage.) The arm is pretty good too! Nice and sturdy.
Awesome...

Great mic but it needs more
Shure SM7B Cardioid Dynamic Microphone
Reviewed by Elyot on Guitar Center
It should be advertised that a phantom power source such as a cloudlifter is necessary. I am using a good pre-amp but the signal to noise ratio is very bad. I am having to use a gate and SIX notch filters to cancel out the noise after eliminating all other possible sources for the noise.
Great Sound Taylor Swift used this in her reputation album

I love this, I use it on every vocal take I have done recently and many other use it too. I use it with my cloud lifter and it is just wonderful. Its not that expensive so it will save you some money. People like Taylor Swift, Andrew Huang and MJ used this mic.

This mic is a workhorse and worth the money. I use it to record spoken word, singing and instruments. I'm very impressed with the build and sound quality. The Cloudlifter really helps. You'll need it.

This mic has been used on some of the most iconic records out there, it works wonderfully in podcast situations, as well as recording live and studio. It's incredible for churches who are now adjusting to recorded worship scenarios.
Great mic with one minor flaw
Shure SM7B Vocal Microphone
Reviewed by Jared on B&H Photo Video
Using this mic almost daily. It's been a great improvement over my previous setup. The only complaint is you'll need a pre-amp that is capable of boosting the output of this mic. The Focusrite devices here on B&H don't quite have enough gain to do so.
A world of difference!

I had been using an SM57 microphone for voice until I could save my lunch money to get the SM7B/Cloudlifter kit. Once it arrived, I immediately installed it and noticed an improved difference in the way my voice sounds. I am definitely glad that I have this kit.
The best investment

Nice rich sound, versatile settings. Remember! Use this microphone with a Cloudlifter CL-1 and adjust your inputs for phantom power, otherwise, theses microphones will not work optimally or at all. Great product with a lot of history and a look that makes your studio look real professional. :-)

It's a great mic! You'll need the cloudlifter cl-1 but one you have it, It's going to be an amazing mic. There's a reason famous podcasters and famous musicians still will use this $400 microphone. It's a great sound.
Amazing. (but probably an overkill)

I bought this for my podcast recording needs. It sounds amazing with an untreated room, absolutely no ambient noise. It's probably. more than what you need, but you won't be disappointed at all. if you get it.
The best broadcast set up out there

Reviewed by Tristan on B&H Photo Video
I love the sound of the SM7B (with the close-talk windscreen) and the Cloudlifter - although you need the Cloudlifter if you have a low noise studio and a nice pre amp. More natural tone than you get from other similarly priced broadcast mics.

Obviously when paying this much money for your mic, you are getting something that is top of the line. This definitely lives up to that standard, and works perfectly for my stream! Only can say great things about the quality and the look!
The standard as advertised!

Reviewed by Mark on B&H Photo Video
The Shure SM7B is the standard as advertised. It may be the most versatile microphone in its price range. Novice and pro will get what they need from this product - a quality mic that lasts. As with most dynamic mics, pairing the SM7B with a powerful mic preamp or inline gain booster is recommended.
It's the legend

Reviewed by Richard on B&H Photo Video
What else can we say that hasn't been said? It's the legendary microphone, and you'll absolutely love it. If you're worried about the price, there are alternatives that come close for less, but if you have to have it, you're probably not reading reviews anyway!
