- Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2025Style: MV88+ Wired KITVerified PurchaseThe 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2024Style: MV88+ Wired KITVerified PurchaseWe run an event company and I use this for our business twice a week and it's great.
When you read the instructions it will tell you that you need to download the app. I use to do it that way, but found no difference in the sound quality if you just shoot through your phone's video feature.
It comes with the cable that you need to plug it into your found and a mount, but if you want to attach it to your phone you will need to purchase a cell phone rig separately.
It's lightweight enough that if you attach it to a gimbal it will still hold it.
You can adjust the sound through the app, but I've never needed to. Red light indicator tells you when the sound balances are off or if you're too close to the sound source.
Great sound capture - cuts out the background noise behind you. Though it's important to note that the sound capture is a "cone" not a "beam", so it will still pick up sounds next to you, just not behind you.
If you were at a concert, this would get a lot of crowd noise around you - but if you're close to a stage or filming something without a lot of background noise, this will absolutely enhance the capture of the sound.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2023Style: MV88+ Wired KITVerified PurchaseThe media could not be loaded.
Regarding our playing, we haven’t played
Yes together in 17 years and our bassist was just playing around. This is us, The Hot Rod Davidians, playing in a small room: Moving blankets on the walls, other band’s amps strewn about, and the PA speakers were at the top of the room.
Finally, using this mic is all about the placement and adjusting the gain so it doesn’t distort. Good luck!!
I leave you with a decent cover of Link Wray’s Rumble
- Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2023Style: MV88+ Wired KITVerified PurchaseI 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2022Style: MV88+ Wired KITVerified PurchaseThe preset profile settings, clarity, and sensitivity of this mic are very impressive. The presets are not gimmicks and work exactly as described. The related app you can download can be used for video and audio. The sensitivity is very good and I had to adjust down for clarity when recording sounds closer to the mic. I would definitely recommend for anyone recording video and audio or just audio with a smartphone.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2024Style: MV88+ Wired KITVerified PurchaseFairly easy to mount, plug in, and get recording in 15 minutes at most. Super crisp clear sound! App is very easy and intuitive, with a decent number of basic tweaking options. 2 different, mic types built-in!! Mix either, also has left/right stereo mixing options.. NOT BAD!!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2024Style: MV88+ Wired KITVerified PurchaseI read lots of good reviews. So I ordered the product and could not get the product to work. Ordered a replacement and no issues what so ever. Love the set up.
Amazon made the return and replacement easy.
Thanks

Style: MV88+ Wired KITVerified PurchaseQue decir de este micrófono? Shure es sinónimo de calidad.
Esperaba una mejora de sonido notable, pero aún así me ha sorprendido mucho, no me esperaba este cambio sólo con la cámara del móvil.
Si usas la app de Shure, se abre un gran abanico de posibilidades y ajustes, dignos de un profesional.
Es bastante caro, pero va acorde con su calidad.

5.0 out of 5 stars Parfait très contente de mon achat
Style: MV88+ Wired KITVerified PurchaseAprès de longues investigations et comparaisons, j’ai choisi ce modèle qui correspond bien à mon besoin pour l’enregistrement d’un podcast voix et de vidéo. Très bon son, solide et facile d’usage avec l’app MOTIV à télécharger = un mini studio

5.0 out of 5 stars Better sound than I expected!
Style: MV88+ Wired KITVerified PurchaseI loved the ease of use with little mic… just downloaded the apps, plugged it into my iPhone and shot a little acoustic guitar video straight away. The sound from the built in acoustic pre-set was better than I was ever able to achieve before with my Yeti mic, although my lack of recording expertise might have been the real issue. The result had hardly any background noise and a nice tone from my guitar even with old strings.
The only criticism of the kit was that the app lacked any basic guitar FX’s like reverb so it was just the guitar raw. It still sounded good however and I would recommend this mic to those who don’t have a degree in sound processing or for bloggers just wanting a decent sound straight out of the box.
For musicians, guitar players in particular, this sounds decent enough but lack of guitar FX might be a deal breaker as it would mean taking the files further into the world of Garage Band and Logic to add effects. Still all up for the price the kit is really good value.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr gute Qualität
Style: MV88+ Wired KITVerified PurchaseFür relativ wenig Geld (im Vergleich zu hochwertigen Stereo Mikrofonsets) bekommt man damit wirklich sehr gute Tonaufnahmen / Videoton hin. Es schlägt absolut das eh schon recht gute Mikro meines iPhone 15 Pro Max um Längen und sogar meinen kleinen Roland HD Recorder. Die Audios klingen ohne Nachbearbeitung sehr, sehr gut! Nehme damit meine Bands (dr, bs, kb, voc, gt) und Klavier Solo auf, einmal den Pegel und Stereobreite eingestellt, den richtigen Aufstellplatz gefunden, leistet es ohne großen Aufwand Hervorragendes.
Kann das SHURE MV 88 Video Kit zu 100% empfehlen. Auch das Manfrotto Stativ - sehr gut.
Kleiner Tipp: ich verwende zum gleichzeitigen Laden des Telefons eine MagSafe Powerbank. Die ist in die Halterung geklemmt und das IPhone lässt sich einfachst und schnell ab- und ansetzen. Das mit dem Apple Adapter (geht einem sowieso schon auf die Nerven, diese tausenden Adapter!) ist nicht die ideale Lösung, so ist es einfacher.
