I had some doubts about how a little microphone like this could handle some loud jam sessions, but it surprised everyone. It's very easy to use including the Android app, and it sounds great. It handles the drummer randomly deciding to go hard on his rimshots like a champ while also picking up on some of the more subtle noises in the guitar FX. For this price, this thing is a champion. Anything else of this quality or higher is going to cost you a whole lot more.

I bought this for my husband to use with his iPhone. This mic & stand, used with the Shure app, improves the recordings made with the iPhone significantly. It's easy to set up and easy to store back away in its case. All of the essential cords are included. Nice outfit.

I like Shure products, and the MV88+ works well for vlogging and recording voices just a few feet away or across a table. The kit includes a hand held or desktop tripod and all the parts needed to set up an iPhone. I have an iPhone 15 Pro MAX, and the MV88+ has two cables, one for Lightning and one for USB-C.The kit's iPhone holder is a disappointment. Instructions say the holder will accommodate horizontal and vertical positions with a protective cover. Not true. It holds only in the horizontal position without the phone cover; and frankly, it's not sturdy. There is a workaround: purchase the Manfrotto Smartphone clamp, pro version MCPIXI. It works in both a vertical and horizontal position with a cover. It's sturdier, and accommodates the mic at the top; plus it's on Amazon.

This is by far the best mic! I plug it right into my phone and it makes professional sounding recordings!! Love it!!

I chose this mic specifically for shooting video on an iPad. There are no other options out there for a high quality, landscape stereo oriented microphone for iPads or iPhone. What they don’t tell you in the description is that this mic must be used with Shure’s video app and that app does not run alongside Apple’s native camera app. That means you can only use Shure’s app camera and it’s a clunker. No zoom. No slo-mo. You can tap two choices: wide and ultra wide. That’s it. With a bit of a delay before your choice registers. Worse than that, the app does not forward your video to the camera roll. It stays in the Shure app “gallery”. That means it is not accessible to iMovie. So editing is out. The mic itself might be good, but this type of interface is clunky and useless. You must disconnect the mic or plug in headphones directly to it if you want to hear the audio.I tried out the audio only app and I could not find any setting that was not mono. I just didn’t understand what exactly they were trying to do here. It seemed designed by people who didn’t know much at all about producing video with an iPhone or iPad. I wish there was someone out there that would produce a mic for an iPhone or iPad that was stereo, had an effective windscreen, and would not bring about all the limitations that come with this Shure mic. Part of the problem is Apple, who refuse to acknowledge that their built in mics have major limitations outside where there is wind. What is needed is an OS change that allows for an external mic to just work without an app and that will give excellent results. No such thing exists and this Shure mic is no exception.

This mic sounds really nice and is super handy for a portable recording setup. Unfortunately today I went to unplug the cable and afterwards heard a little rattle inside the mic. Upon inspection, I found that the micro usb port has broken off of the circuit board... There doesn't appear to be any damage, it just looks like the glue and/or soldering gave up and it popped off. I didn't have to force the cable out or anything, it came out as usual but I guess it was enough to pop the port off. Anyways, great mic but I am super sad that mine broke and I'm not sure if there's any chance at repair since it is past the 2 year warranty.

The mic functions well, but does not capture lower frequencies. I use it for recording Didgeridoo B1#, 63 Hertz playing (as measured on the T1 tuner app). So, I won't be able to use it for quality recordings.It has very short cables and I got a 6 foot lightning to mic.I very much like the simplicity of the Motiv app that it comes with. It has some simple EQ and decibel settings. I can trim recordings. A few other helpful things too. Ultra simple to just set the decibels I want after a few tests and then press the record button.
