This mic also outputs via the XLR and USB at the same time!

USB, dynamic microphones are still rare. Most dynamic, USB mics are condenser and for that reason they are not usually the best option for recording in spaces not specially treated for audio recording. For most podcasters, streamers, YouTubers, creators, a dynamic capsule is going to be optimal for rejecting more of the sounds you don't want (background noise and reverb) and capturing more of what you do want, your voice. The MV7 does a great job of bringing the look and sound of the Shure SM7B (my daily mic.) to a USB microphone. The sound is more mid-range focused which means it will sound a little brighter than the SM7B but they are a very close match to my ear, for my voice.
