The sources (2)
the MV7+ does an excellent job of reproducing a warm yet detailed recording of your voice
the MV7+ has no issues keeping plosives at bay and sibilance to a minimum
I found myself muting the mic by accident quite often when attempting to adjust the microphone position
the MV7+ is incredible at minimizing ambient sounds, plosive pops, and fricative hisses, while maintaining the natural cadence and depth of human voices
I think the digital popper stopper isn't as effective as it could be
At $279, it's noticeably pricier than rivals
