Blue Yeti, Snowball, Quadcast & Shure Mic Pop Filter - Professional Windscreen with Thick Sponge & 360 Gooseneck

I actually really like this pop filter. Some have complained about the size but I actually love it for that. Someone else mentioned it but people have to keep in mind of the size of the capsule and not the microphone itself. It just needs to cover the capsule enough. The only note I have about using this kind of pop filter is your proximity from the pop filter itself. I’ll repeat the pop filter, not the microphone. With “P’s”, “B’s” and “S’s” (most especially) there will be a tonality change of how they sound. To the normal ear it doesn’t sound like much at all. The tonality sounds more like an added “HHH” to those sounds. As mentioned not terrible what so ever just an observation. I’d recommend to get the most transparent vocal is to be about 3-4 inches away from the mic. If you want that proximity effect than bring the pop filter about an inch away from the mic and then mouth 3-4 inches away from the pop filter. Hope that makes sense. Test it for yourself. Overall, I think this does a great job, looks professional and is compact. Highly recommended.

As far as pop filters go, there is a general consensus that the best one on the market is one that looks a lot like this one but costs five times the price. After seeing this one pop up on Amazon while searching for some aquarium filter media to make my own, I decided to give one a shot since it was less than $20. If it was good, I would be happy. If it wasn't, it would be no loss because six pieces of the actual filter media used in the $100 version is $5 here on Amazon, and at least I'd have a gooseneck.My tests between the $5 filter media and the included media in this pop filter are one in the same. Trying this filter out between an Audio-Technica AT2020, SE X1A, and Neat King Bee II netted exactly the same excellent audio. Gone were the harsh "p" plosives and "s" sibilances. All that was left was good, clear audio from each microphone. When it comes to the King Bee, I like this pop filter a lot better than the snap-to-capsule version that Neat includes because the sound is far more transparent and less exaggerated in the mids. I can actually enjoy the buttery smoothness of the low end on that mic without hyping certain frequencies with their pop filter!The gooseneck itself is constructed well and stays in place. I've read the same complaints in the reviews here as I have with the $100 version in that the nut holding the gooseneck to the clamp comes loose. Whoever is producing this version seems to have fixed that problem. The one I got has no loose parts and stays exactly where I set it. If flaws become apparent, I'll be happy to update this review in the future. As of now, it's pretty solid and does what it promises.Would I recommend this pop filter? Absolutely. I don't see any differences in sound quality between the $100 filter and this one, which costs five times less. If you ever need to replace the foam on your expensive version of this, you're just going to buy the same $5 foam for it anyway. Start here and your in the door cost is far more reasonable.

This is supposed to be clone of the Hakan P110 pop filter. On youtube, you’ll see that people claim the Hakan us made out of an aquarium biofilter sponge. This Proar is likely using the same material.Testing it out against my other pop filters, this is the best so far to my ears. It reduces plosives & yet is pretty transparent sounding with minimal sound coloration.My only issue is that the gooseneck isn’t as flexible as I like. So it’s not as easy to work with.Last thing: On youtube, they recommend pairing the following sponge with this proar holder. I never got it as I’m happy with the proar sponge. But one might want to try it out:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PDMQF8H/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_9?smid=A1AE07NH5TJLPD&psc=1

No one is paying me to write this review nor am I associated in any way with the makers! Period! I am a professional singer/songwriter, producer/engineer that’s just trying to pay it forward.First: Anyone who says this pop filter is too small is talking nonsense. Large microphone capsules are generally around 1 in. The largest I have ever seen/heard of/used is 38mm (Lauten Audio Atlantis) which is 1.49 inches. I have used this with my Soyuz 017 Tube which has a capsule of 34mm (1.33 in.) and obviously it works great. I saw a pic of the exact measurement in a different review and I’m 99% sure no human has a mouth bigger than that.Second: This does change the sound of your recordings, but that’s literally it’s job! Pretty sure the point is that you don’t want plosives etc. Where it matters - articulation, presence, clarity etc. - there’s no discernible difference, especially compared to typical mesh pop filters that take out too much high frequency content IMO, and especially when your recordings have been processed or treated (mixed etc.) in a professional manner ie. after compression, EQ etc.Third: The fact that the arm is bolted to the attachment base is a good thing IMHO (especially compared to the cheap welds you get on other filters).. means it’s easily swappable should it fail and also you can tighten it. The video review showing someone touching it and it drooping didn’t tighten this filter to the stand hard enough. Mine.. I really didn’t have to tighten it too, too hard, but it did droop on me when I didn’t get it tight enough at first.Fourth: All-around it’s well thought out, does it’s job and is affordable! Handles plosives better than your typical metal filter and is more transparent than your typical nylon/cloth filter.I have gone through dozens of pop filters (including the one this is “cloning”) throughout my career ranging from $20-300, this one is probably top 2 and the other one costs $237.I will update should anything change!
