* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The MXL V87 is a surprisingly capable entry-level condenser. It’s a solid option for home recording enthusiasts or podcasters needing a decent vocal mic without spending a fortune; the included accessories are a genuine bonus, and the sound is generally pleasingly present, though it won't replace a studio workhorse.
