The mv7 is a versatile microphone that delivers excellent sound quality. The build quality is top-notch. My only nitpick is the foam windscreen is not as good as it could be.

The mv7 has a dual usb/xlr output. It also has a built-in headphone jack with zero-latency monitoring. It has onboard gain control, zero latency monitoring, and headphone mix.

The mv7 captures every nuance of your voice with precision and detail. Its intuitive touch panel controls allow you to fine-tune your audio settings. It has a cardioid polar pattern, which helps to reduce background noise.

Overall, this is disappointing. The software is not optional it is mandatory. With all the much less expensive options available, this definitely is a disappointment.

The micro-b port on the mic is extremely unreliable as a slight movement on the cord can result in disconnection. It's also a little puzzling that there is no stand for the mic.

The issues with the dell xps 13 seem to be related to drivers. Fixing it requires switching between devices or a reboot. The solution for linux is long and painful.
