The proliferation of the SM7B makes the audiophile in both happy and sad. It's a great podcasting mic for a wide range of voices, but a world where there is essentially one mic being used by all podcasts is a sad world.

I dislike the in-frame mics, so if you’re looking for a shotgun mic, the MKH416 is truly amazing.

I suspect this review had a butterfly effect on the popularity.

I tried his more expensive set up and was too much of a pain on a MacBook Air.

Honestly, I’m more of an RE-20 person. SM7 always sounded weird to me.

Have been using an AT875r for quite some time. Has been a great low-cost, good quality option that is more travel friendly.
