Shure Brings Back MV88 as USB-C Snap-On Phone Mic, Now Available for $159

The revived snap-on design targets mobile creators seeking plug-and-play, case-friendly recording with on‑mic noise reduction.

Overview

  • The MV88 USB-C is on sale now for $159 and includes a foam windscreen and protective carrying case.
  • A direct USB-C plug restores the mount-to-device format for recent iPhones and Android phones, with an extended connector designed to fit cases up to 2.1mm thick.
  • Built-in DSP features include Auto Level for real-time gain control and a Real-time Denoiser to reduce background noise.
  • Recording options span four pickup patterns with adjustable stereo width, a hinge that lets the mic point up or toward the subject, and MOTIV apps that add presets and tools like five-band EQ, compression, limiter, and a high-pass filter.
  • Early hands-on tests at CES reported a substantial improvement over built-in phone mics and effective background noise reduction in real-world use.
