- The fake sm7b can easily fool anyone, especially if you’ve never heard your own voice using a genuine sm7b.

Hey man , Just returned a fake one that I got from Amazon. Now trying to get that seller banned for cheating so many people.
hahaha we got the replica police here
Thanks for the video. There’s enough in here that I’m fairly confident mine is genuine after doing some disassembly. Audio interface hasn’t arrived yet so it’s nice to have some early assurance.
I bought mine 2 years ago from a random website, after watching your video i decided to disassembled mine and comparing the pieces looks spot on with the real sm7b, always had a doubt so .. thanks for the help!
Best video in this topic! Thank you so much!
Excellent video!
I got mine few months ago and I had some doubts that is not genuine but after I sent it to Shure directly, they confirmed its Real.
How can I send mine to Shure to evaluate if it's original too?
@@keisell4337 You just make it up like the guy up there - why would someone send a mic to shure unless it's for repair?
Being able to register a fake mic on an official shure website is absolutely nuts! How the heck do they manage to do that?
This video had the potential to be fantastic, but it's quite challenging to follow. The main issue is the lack of clear labeling for which mic is real and which is fake. The positions of the real and fake mics change from clip to clip, making it confusing. I appreciate the effort you put into making this video, as it takes a lot of work. However, please visually label the mics in future videos so viewers can easily spot the differences. Thank you!
The fake is on the left side
Thnks for the look at the differences! BTW,, on a dynamic mic, you really aren't supposed to turn on phantom power---- it's for condensers.
what do you mean by the fakes dont work with phantom power? the sm7b does not use phantom power/its not good for dynamic mics as far as I know and if i use a dynamite preamp it doesnt pass the 48 volts to it anyway so im a little confused about what you mean there
Thanks for the good video. I wish you spot the fake one and the real one during the comparison one the screen. (Not just sound)
Fr it was really hard to follow
Great video. BTW the S in Illinois is silent.
ive seen some very great copies of the sm57 lol. same documentation, almost the same body and the grill. Its kinda scary
I got a fake recently that was so convincing. Every detail and I mean everything was exact except the paint was just slightly rougher and the foam was slightly lighter color. So close that I was about to consider those changes as typical tolerance from Shure. Same weight to the gram. I was 100% convinced till I compared the sound of the mic, the counterfeit was more open and the low end was much leaner. Compared the counterfeit to an SM7b I purchased from Sweetwater. Got it from an ebayer with many positive reviews from happy SM7b buyers. I'll never buy a SM7b again unless from a reputable store. Without the comparison I'd have no clue. I'm actually baffled someone would copy so carefully. I'm still wondering if Shure changed their mic sound it was such a good copy.
@Scentedstyle Help! Hello. Shure SM7B with green and yellow wire, original ? Time 5:52. I look through the translator, not everything is clear. ?
The yellow is the real one. "The wire, although is thicker on the fake. Shure uses the green and yellow wires" @5:40
Thank you so much! Health to you and your loved ones!@@davidglobex189
got a fake SM58 from a guy the other day. Said it was real.. some checks said its fake! Reported it to paypal and the guy pretty much instantly gave a full refund for the purchase.
what if the wires are black green and orange? everything else expect the wires seems legit
Got mine from Guitar Center yesterday.
Opened today and saw the seal was already cut. Looks like maybe someone returned it?
Not going to lie... the sound is oddly muddy/muffled. Maybe I'm just used to my Zoom H4n?
With the rare case of someone swapping their fake out for it and returning to Guitar Center.. I might take it back.
Did you take it back?
@@mbthedaytrader I did not. I ended up testing against a friend’s sm7b and it sounded identical. Was just used to the different EQ of my old mic.
@@podnucmo5 Oh ok glad it was good in the end. thanks for the reply
Can somebody help, I opened up to look at my wires in my shure sm57 does opening it up pose any risk to the sound quality? Can someone explain what are the wires for ?
No not at all unless the wires get damaged.
Your video got a little confusing with the label of real and fake around the 6:00 part of the video. So is the one with the yellow and green wires the legit sm7b???
Green wireless are from shure. He sed.
I have one from a musician and it has green and yellow wires
At 5:00, which box is the real one? I got the one on the left. With the white foam. Is this the fake? Your video is really confusing.
left is fake.
if i got mine from amazon and the shure store am i safe? i don't wanna invest in something that could be fake
You should be fine as long as your buying directly from Amazon and not a third party seller. Just make sure it says ships and sold by Amazon and it will be legitimate.

Is it okay if I buy the fake one and use audio interface, will it sound good? I mean no floor noise?
Are you interested in mine? I'm not getting a response from the other guy on here, so let me know if you do!
I even think the fake one sounds acceptable for my budget. Where did you get it? I would be glad to start with something like this,it also looks more professional than my lav mike
Hello! I have one that I don't want! I posted mine on OfferUp if you're interested!
@@iKaleighCupcake add me please for the link deutschingrr
@@allesprobieren What do you mean add you? I don't think I can post the link here but you'll probably find it if you search it.
@@allesprobierenHey, are you still interested?
@@iKaleighCupcakeshure! ;)
the transformer is not in circuit on the fake mic, you can measure that with a multimeter.
Salut,te rog să îmi zici dacă microfonul cu firul roșu,albastru,negru este cel original?
Salut, din păcate, nu cred. Cel original folosește fire verzi și galbene, nu roșii și albastre. El a menționat asta aici 5:39
is the green and yellow wire original? on 6min video
На сколько я понял по переводу. Да
JUST opened mine up to check the wires lol
Can u give the link to the fake one because I couldn't afford the real one, I also love the design
barely every item on aliexpress is fake, but bro u better save some money for the real one, in the long run it'll be better i promise you (as a person who works with sound)
@@danhxrdy ok thank you
@@danhxrdy What if u change the capsule to the real one shure uses?
I know a singer that had a fake, her voice was amazing with it. She got a real one and it was harsher sounding. Weird
Ok so basically I recommend not buying the Fake sm7b because The fake sm7b is sounding harsh on the top end just like any 25 to 30-dollar mic would sound. I have an sm58 and a 30 dollar Behringer ba85a and the main difference between my sm58 vs behringer mic is the top end the sm58 top end is very smooth and silky just like the sm7b and the Behringer mic top end is harsh just like the fake sm7b. Now if you still wanna buy the look of an sm7b than make sure to use a de esser to tame some of that harshness
Why would anybody want to buy fake mic being aware of that? :D
Can the cloudlifter be used with the fake SM7B?
preamps dont pass the 48v to the dynamic mics so I have no idea what he meant by that
the original shure sm7b is really hard to drive, you need a good preamp.
Hey! , what do you mean for hard to drive?
My budget for a Mic is 170 dollars, should I buy the Fake Shure Sm7b or HyperX Quadcast S
Yep am actually looking for the fake now 😂, I mean it sounds really good
Better buy fduce SL40 or SL40x for less than $50.
you'd better of with a rode podmic or rode NT. At least you get a very good sounding mic from a reputable company with warranty than giving your money for a fake mic that won't last you a long time.
Anyone still looking for a fake SM7B? I have one I don't want and I paid $270 for it. Wanting my money back so I can get the real one!
Buy an sm58
haha that cat wanted to play xD. that was funny
Wish you would have labeled on-screen which mic is being shown, fake or real...
Fake on the left
@@Scentedstyle At 5:37, it seem the right one is the Fake, real on left...
At 1:00, the left one looks fake: no Registered logo, button cheaply done and even material and screws look cheaper. Are you sure, you didn't mix up the labels because it's upside down?
Do you keep the real one on the left and fake one on the right the entire time? I'm getting lost trying to compare mine. Edit: I got burned on eBay thought I was saving a few bucks and got a fake one
Correct
@@Scentedstyle They got me. Mine's a fake. 😞
@@MichaelDespairs Pretty sure mine is fake too.. I just ordered a real one to be sure.. I will let yall know..
Yeah, the one that I got that came from China ended up being a fake.. It was a really good fake but you could hear it in the audio recordings for sure.
@Scentedstyle Help! Hello. Shure SM7B with green and yellow wire, original ? Time 5:52. I look through the translator, not everything is clear. ?
👍
I got scammed, i bought one on ebay and it literally had parts spilling out of it *facepalm*
zoned out because of the cat :D
MAKE IT AGAIN AND Always put video label which is fake ....hahahaha no joke!
I’m actually working on another one with a better version
man should hv made a fixed angle of real and fake, or at least label it.
This FAKE SM57 Sounds way better on large diaphr. headphones than original 😂😂😂😂
Cringed when you let the cat knock them over.... and again... and again... You know that's not good for the internal circuitry and especially the diaphragm! Unlike good mics used in shows that can take a beating (somewhat) Mics like this are a lot higher risk for damage. Cute cat though.
My one did not come with a cute cat, does it mean it fake ? #mfilesband
Seems to me that China is on their way to giving us the same exact mic for a 1/4 of the price. If they master the Unidyne iii capsule, I'm not shure it will be worth it to buy a real one. If you want to keep your design to yourself, never have anything made in China.
nice video, i like the fake
Bro I got sm7b $25 💀💀
😒 "Promo sm"
Not a promo, just trying to help people from being scammed. I use to think if the fake sounded bad it means it’s fake. The whole purpose is to keep you from being scammed.
Thanks so much, I did not realize there were counterfeit ones out there. I was going to buy one from offer up tomorrow and now I am not! You just saved me $200!
