 Great microphone, easy to use! Feb 28, 2009
By James Wright
"rob wright"
I am a middle school music teacher that works with pro audio in my spare time. I do a lot of work with Pro Tools using professional-quality microphones, but it isn't always convenient to have my DigiRack and/or preamps with me. I got this microphone to record my classroom rehearsals in stereo using Garageband. It is plug and play, and yields great quality recordings, with good lows and highs. For the price, it's definitely worth purchasing!

Wonderful! Mar 05, 2008
By R. Miller
As a music director, I bought this for its portability to record concerts in stereo. Just hook it up to a laptop computer (plugs into a USB port) and record away - anywhere! The resulting WAV file is already on the computer ready to tweak in Sound Forge. The stereo sound quality is rich and accurate. We have been very impressed.

 Great Condenser Microphone Apr 11, 2010
By Josh Adams
"Rock Crushes Paper"
This was the first condenser microphone I purchased when looking for a USB solution to start a podcast. I chose this microphone for various reasons, but the one that stuck out to me the most was its ability to record in stereo. I know, that might not make sense at first. Why would a podcaster want a microphone to record in stereo? Well, in addition to just doing the solo approach during a podcast, I wanted a versatile microphone that I could use out at events to aide in interviews. With this mic I am able to set it on the tripod provided and place the microphone between me and another person while conducting the interview. During playback the listener will hear two voices on different sides simultaneously, mimicking a real conversation as if the listener was in the middle of it. Perfect.
Pros:
-Awesome hard case provided with it.
-Very solid build on everything included, even the tripod. It all just "feels right"
-Ability to record in stereo AND mono
-Indicator light lets you know it's working.
-Windscreen (NOT a pop filter) is included. Most other manufacturers to not include this.
-Low, Med, High attenuation switch on back of microphone to allow adjustments quickly.
-USB plug and play works flawlessly
-Great documentation provided
Cons:
-Skip the free audio editing software, not worth your time
-Windscreen fits a little loose over the mic (could be a problem, ahem...IN THE WIND)
-Doesn't seem to have the total audio quality as the AT2020 USB, but it's so close that
your opinion could be completely different.
Overall, in this price range you cannot go wrong with the MXL 007. Highly recommended.

A great microphone for home studios. Dec 25, 2008
By Yoshie B.
After reading the reviews and carefully putting it to thought, I bought this microphone in hopes that I would be able to record my piano compositions. And those hopes were fulfilled. This product records crystal clear (so clear that it sounds like I went to a professional recording studio!) and it's easy to use; just plug it into your USB port and record. However, one drawback is that it tends to easily catch small noises, such as clicks or noises that are going on in your house/apartment/etc. Therefore, recording in a dead-silent room would be the best thing to do. Unfortunately for me, I have to record in a room that's always busy.
To show you how crystal clear the sound is, here's one of my compositions that I've recorded through this microphone: synthoxide.net/music/Composition19.mp3

great but watch settings on audacity Feb 21, 2011
By Grace Welch
I bought this microphone for recording voice for e-learning courses. It seems perhaps a little overkill for the purpose, but there was a sale price, the reviews were good, and I wanted something that would easily plug into my laptop. I use audacity as the recording software. I have very little experience with audio recording but was able to easily get the MXL USB007 microphone set up and working with my computer. The sound is so much better than the logitech headset I was using. One minor glitch - I had to change my settings on audacity to make it work and thought it would be helpful to share it here. My current working settings are playback device: conexant HD audio output and recording device: microsoft sound mapper - input.
