If you are getting the SM7B for home recording, unless you have a top quality pre-amp, you will need an in-line preamp like a cloudlifter or dynamite dm1 (which is what I went for) to boost the gain. You'll find loads of 'advice' on YouTube, but if you are using something like a focusrite scarlet interface, you'll definitely need the extra gain - and that's coming from a screamer who generates plenty of sound so don't fall into the trap of thinking 'he's just a quiet singer'!!! That's exactly what I did - if you want the best from the mic (which is awesome) you will need to boost the gain!

I'm a streamer and work on the internet, so wanted to upgrade my vocal set up. Can't get better than an Sm7B

Needs a fethead to boost the level, but sounds great.

Very good smooth sounding mic, and being a dynamic it is less critical of home environments and poorer sounding rooms than a condenser. It's possible a little expensive, but it's well worth having.

This mic is the best mic I've ever had. It's a little bit on the expensive side, but it's well worth it. The quality of sound compared to the other USB condenser mic's I've had (Blue Yeti, HyperX Quadcast) is instantly noticeable. Some of this will be because I've connect the Shure SM7B to the GoXLR via XLR. Both of these are making my stream sound incredible.

Great clarity combined with lack of sibilance used for vocal home recording with Audient iD14. (The spellchecker on site _ or my Fire pad - changed sibilance into ambulance and Audient into ancient and I nearly didn't notice .......

Andertons didn't recommend this mic because it was popular but because it was an excellent fit for the purpose to which I wanted to put it.
The mic copes with appalling vocal technique, including blowing into the mic (I tried it just for fun), rejects rear and side sound like a champ, and really suppresses sibilance and vocal clicks. Okay, most dynamics are good at that, but the SM7B excels.
As a spoken word mic it sounds very warm and slightly (slightly) compressed to my ear.
Yes, it requires a ton of preamp gain but my preamp (a Sound Devices 702T, 70 dB gain) will provide more than the required 60 dB recommended by Shure, see link below:
https://www.shure.com/en-US/support/find-an-answer/sm7-output-level-and-preamp-gain-specifications
Durability? I can't tell given that I've only owned this mic for a few weeks but it looks like it's built like a tank.
Are there better dynamic mics out there? Sure there probably are but this one suits my voice (sibilant, plenty of vocal clicks, slightly thin).

SM7B is everything I expected it to be, been meaning add one to the studio since I first used one 30 years ago, never quite got round to it :-)
Glad I have now, very smooth.

Sound is very professional. It's perfect combined with a cloud lifter or fethead.

Wonderful. There are more than enough reviews of Shure SM7s out there - but I will say it’s incredible.

theres a reason it's still being made over 40 years after it was designed, rock solid dynamic mic from a great manufacturer 100% would recommend for voice over work

I can’t say anything more than 5 stars. The absolute gold standard for affordable microphones. Already recorded heavy metal vocals and cleans. As long as you keep the gain down for the screams/louder vocals, and make sure your preamp/system/recording hardware operates between 50-60db (preferably the higher end of this) then I can’t recommend any other mic on the market for the price!

Anyone that knows anything about microphones will know this is sets a standard in the broadcasting sector. Not a huge amount in it but, given the choice over this or RE20, RE320 etc. I'd always go the SM7B route...
