As shown in the picture i received this today and it is a genuine sm7b. Checked the inside and it all matches. Excellent upgrade from at2020 in my opinion. It was shipped and delivered within 24h (instead of 2 working days) to NL.

Been looking for a new mic for years. Had the Blue Yeti before this purchase. Seeing loads of streamers, podcaster etc, finally bought it.No regrets and a safe bet OOB. You do need an audio deck with a XLR connection.

Não é atoa que está presente em todos os podcasts, a qualidade de som é fenomenal, só precisa ter uma inferface de áudio potente o suficiente para dar os dbs necessários

Excellent microJe m'en sers que ce soit pour discuter sur des tchat vocaux ou faire de la guitare ou encore du RolePlay

Product is defective and doesn’t work at all, straight out of the Box. and as I search online many people who bought this product fromamazon and not straight from the Seller has faced this same issue

Podcast industry standard for a reason. If you are just chatting or want a solid mid grade mic that is good enough to record songs on this is a good pick. If you have the money there are better mics on the market for the purpose of song and instrumental recording such as a Neumann. Just be ready to shell out four digits per mic for those.Those of us that want a good general use mic that we will most likely not outgrow get the SM7(dB). You WILL have to buy extra stuff to make this mic work, and WILL NEED to spend time setting the mic up. It is not plug and play. You can slap everything together needed and just go with it, but you will sound bad. Search online for how to set the mic and your XLR amp up properly.The SM7dB is the upgraded version of the the series and I bought it over the normal SM7 because it takes into account customer feedback about the older version. If you want to save some money the normal SM7 just needs a good dial tunable XLR amp and some decent audio software to make up for its shortcomings. The money you save getting the baseline SM7 over the SM7dB will allow you to buy a decent XLR amp if budget is a concern. So the choice over the SM7 or the SM7dB is budget vs personal preference.Things you will need to run this mic:-Mic stand or boom arm-Special adapter to fit the mic to the stand or boom properly if needed-XLR amp-XLR cable (do not be cheap)-High quality USB-C to USB-A cable or USB-C only cable to connect the XLR amp to your PC-Recording software of choice (freeware works fine)-Fine tuning of operating software settings to match the micMy setup with the SM7dB and everything mentioned above totaled about $900 USD all said and done. You can save a couple hundred by picking the SM7, a cheaper XLR amp, and a lower price boom/stand than I did, but this should give you a rough idea what the true cost of this mic will be. Keep in mind this is still below what it cost for just a Neumann TLM 103 mic with nothing to run it, and that mic is what professional radio and recording studios have considered industry standard for over 25 years. So if you aren't doing professional singing and want to be able to run the whole setup for less than what the cost of a Broadway quality mic alone is, get the SM7(dB).
