Frankly, I'd never heard of a "pop filter" until my popping p's and b's came into consciousness at the same time that this device popped into my field of view on an Amazon web page. The hardware and build-quality are about as solid and heavy-duty as you could wish for. I'll bet that a couple of layers of women's nylon stockings would be just as effective, but this contraption pretty much purges your elocution of the offensive phonemes (they're called "plosives"). I'm still hearing the "s" phonemes (sibilants) along with some guttural artifacts ("back" vowels prefaced by an "h" that ignite a momentary gargling effect), but this filter doesn't purport to be able to do anything about those buggers.As for the price, after seeing the gooseneck, the base, the generous-sized screws, etc., I'm prepared to say that this one is fairly valued (I doubt that the Shure or Blue pop filters, at almost double the price, offer anything more than brand-name status). (I know I'll never be able to blow it away). Unfortunately, the clamp seems designed to fit on a mic stand rather than a computer screen, which is almost a half-inch too thick.
They are easy to setup, and quite adjustible. Worth every penny.
guess what. I was a little worried as to whether or not these would be as good as the more expensive pop filters.
No plosives, pops, salava, etc. They rock.
Got them in yesterday and the band came over to record. They are actually double screened (not in the description) and that helps buffer the wind even more.
Feel confident buying these.
This product works just as it should, I even tried to force popping to occur in my recording and had to try pretty hard. I also use a table top mic stand but had little trouble attaching and positioning the screen properly. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to prevent audio pops from occurring
It works to filter out the "puffing" noises that speaking "p's, t's, and d's" makes. Works great.
A bit worried at first because of the low price point. However, was pleasantly surprized when the package arrived. This is a great investment to keep mouth moisture off of the mic and also prevent "p" pops. At $18, you can't go wrong with this purchase.
