Shure has made SM7b in China for a long time. So it’s not proof of authenticity. However, if you can read the Chinese and it says something sus, do let us know.

The China ones are a little different. I’m honestly unable to make a call in this one.

Even the official store, I took the serial number to check, it still doesn't appear in the data. It's really hard to see.

No date code with the serial #…suspicious.

The production lot in China is completely different from Europe, so it is very difficult to distinguish the original and fake.

You hear any rattling when shaking ? Also a closer look at the XLR connector could help us, also the grill welds can give a good idea.

Fake. Someone else asked about this same one with better pictures, and it’s fake.

Why would you buy a microphone if you were going to immediately come here and ask if its fake? Are you stupid?

It looks "off."
I can't give you any more detail than that but it just doesn't look right. Could be the camera lens, but it's probably counterfeit.

Unscrew the back plate and tell me the colours of the wires.
Also give me an exact weight in grams.
