Auphonix Pop Filter Screen for Microphones - Gooseneck Clamps Compatible with Blue Yeti Microphone - Great Gift

For being a pricy pop filter, I expected quite a bit from it (especially from all the other pop filters, which was strewn with countless pros and cons). I'm currently using this with my Samson G Track Pro, despite the labeling of the pop filter being specifically for the Blue Yeti. Keep in mind: you can pretty much use this pop filter for any other microphone, not just the Blue Yeti! I'm impressed with this filter. Although it does have a small logo on the nylon, it didn't bother me much. The pop filter does do its job efficiently: it blocks out the pops and screeching k sounds from the mic, allowing for a clearer experience to those listening. What began to worry me the most was when I tried positioning it, as it wouldn't keep its position where ever I tried moving it to. Despite it being finicky and worrisome at first (seeing I had payed so much for something cheaper pop filters had a major problem with), I soon realized that the part of the gooseneck that connected to the base clamp of the gooseneck was loose. After tightening it and reattaching it to my microphone, it's been holding its position strong for hours. I barely have to do any readjusting! The base clamp itself is also great, it hasn't scratched off any paint or done any damage to my microphone whatsoever. If you are planning on getting this pop filter, it's worth the money. Just make sure that the part of the gooseneck that connects to the base clamp is firmly attached in order to get it into the position you desire. The material of the pop filter is of quality material, whether it be the nylon or the gooseneck--heck even the clamp! This pop filter can be used for any microphone besides the Blue Yeti, just make sure you put it in a convenient spot!

It blocks air pressure well, but lets a clear sound through! A great filter, you get your money's worth! The only thing I don't like about the construction is that you can unscrew the mount and the filter for easier packing, if you want. This is awesome, but it's also a double-edged sword. Sometimes, when I'm trying to bend the filter towards the right direction, it can unscrew. This is easy to fix: just don't twist it in the unscrew direction. Sure, you could fix this by requiring users to physically unscrew or unbolt pieces by adding an extra screw or bolt to hold the pieces in place, but who wants to spend 2m deconstructing their pop filter to compact it for carry when it takes 15s to do it by hand without having to carry a screwdriver around? I find, also, that 2" for me is as close as I can get the pop filter to the microphone (with my lips right up on the filter) without getting air through to the mic capsules. I enunciate big, so this is fantastic, because my p's can be a little extreme, yet I like to be within at least 6" to turn my gain down to keep my guitar from coming through too much. In addition, the plastic and metal haven't worn out in any way, yet, (but don't get too excited, I've only used it as prescribed, I don't know if it will survive tours where things don't end up where they're suppose to), and it's a sturdy little guy whose mesh is very springy, well-made, and can be stroked vigorously with a fingernail for a few minutes and be smooth as... well, as smooth as when I got it in the mail--which is kind of like silk, but more refreshing, like hosiery. The mesh also has a diameter that should capture the puffs of even very large-mouthed, loud singers. I myself am VERY loud sometimes, and it does a great job with a clear, perfectly un-muffled sound (unless you breath a huge amount right up in it, like a vaccum cleaner filter. Then, all you'll get is muffle, because the pop filter will be trying to stop it all). Lastly, speaking of the mic stand mount, it can take a minute to secure, but it does its job. If you need a pop filter, don't be discouraged, this one is well worth my money.

I've only been using this with the Blue Yeti microphone for about a month now, but it's size and construction make it versatile and allow it to be used with any microphone. So I should be clear here: This filter is not specifically designed for the Blue Yeti. The approximately 13'' long goose neck gives it plenty of range, almost too long for a filter marketed specifically for the Blue Yeti. The clamp fully extends to about 1.25'', you also have the option of mounting it pretty much any surface. However, if you plan on mounting it exclusively to the Blue Yeti, the large clamp will take up a lot of space. Both clamp surfaces are lightly padded with rubbery material so it won't scratch up your microphone or desk. After I made the purchase, I was emailed a link to clear instructions on how to mount the filter to the Blue Yeti, which can be a little tricky the first time around. This smart, because the filter itself is a generic filter and it is large. Without that email, I probably would have mounted it incorrectly the first time. One reminder: if you use the Blue Yeti on the cardioid setting, which is the normal setting for a single person speaking, be sure to speak into the front of the microphone and not the top. Some people instinctively speak into the top of the microphone, because that's what they're used to seeing people use hand-held dynamic microphones like the Sure SM58 Shure SM58S Vocal Microphone (with On Off Switch) . As a result, the correct placement of the pop filter will be in front of the microphone where it may obscure the volume and mute buttons a bit, but it's not a big deal. The filter seems a little big at 6'' in diameter, but I'm glad I went with a larger size. I can use it with other microphones in the future and I don't have to be as precise with the placement to make sure I'm blocking all the wind coming from my mouth. There's a noticeable improvement in reducing pops in my recording, so it accomplishes what it's supposed to do. This filter is a solidly built and I'm happy with it. However, the filter is generic and is not designed with the Blue Yeti specifically in mind, so be aware that it will be big and have a large clamp.

So I've started recording YouTube videos which include commentary. I only recorded one video without a pop filter before I decided it is an ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY ITEM if you plan on getting good quality recordings. I haven't had experience with any other pop filters, but I can tell you I've had a great time with this particular one. I want to get to the meat fast in this review, so here we go. This pop filters ability to essentially eliminate all plosives in my recordings has made me very happy, and extremely satisfied. Not only does it work, but it works great! I have yet to notice any nasty plosives in my recordings after using this pop filter. The goose neck on this pop filter seems to be of quality as well, I can fairly easily adjust it, and it stays where I put it. Feels solid. No problems there. The clamp works very well on my mic stand. I screwed it onto my mic arm the day I got it, and I haven't had any problems with it yet, I don't expect to either. It is still very firmly attached to my stand's arm. Although, do be careful when you first screw this onto your stand. If you loosen the clamp before tightening it onto your stand, the round disk around the screw might get caught behind a lip on the clamp itself. If this happens, you'll feel the clamp get harder to tighten, so it should be easy to realize before anything breaks. (I did this, and noticed before anything happened.) Although if you were to put enough pressure on the disk while it was caught behind that lip, it probably would break. Just use common sense when you're screwing it on, and you should be perfectly fine. You probably won't have to move it to a new stand very often, so it's not a big deal. The clamp seems to work well once its attached, I haven't had any problems with it. Once again, just use common sense while clamping it on and it's fine. Overall, I give it a 5 out of 5. It does exactly what it says it'll do, and I couldn't be more pleased with it.

This is a very nice, functional pop filter, and like the title says, fits nicely on the Yeti using a thumb screw clamp. I attached it to the back of the stand and ran it through the "legs". Because the clamp is flat, you need to crank it down pretty good to keep it rigid. I was concerned that it would scratch or bend the Yeti stand, but I needn't have worried as the stand is very well made and can handle it. Functionally it works great, I used it in a recording session with a female vocalist in a non-ideal environment where there was a lot of echo so it was key to do everything I could do to improve the sound. This filter stripped out the plosives as advertised and the recording came out great. Testing it on my own speaking voice also sounded fine. Bottom line, maybe not as pretty as the custom-made Yeti version, but it's a great price...and curiously, easier to fit to the Yeti itself.

First let me say that I am not a professional podcaster, radio announcer, or anything like that. Like pretty much anyone else looking at this product, I bought this pop filter to use on my Blue Yeti microphone. I mainly use my Blue Yeti while I stream on Twitch and without the pop filter I have been very pleased with the overall sound quality I've got from the microphone on its own. However, seeing and hearing other people use a pop filter for streaming and various other videos I felt like it would be a good investment for me. I can say without a doubt I am pleased with the quality this pop filter has added to my already great Blue Yeti mic. The pop filter was very easy to clamp onto the Blue Yeti base and I have had no issues with the pop filter wanting to slide or fall off. It's been staying put since I first put it on a month ago. The overall quality of the build of the pop filter is nice and seems like it will hold up for a long time. The bendable neck is easy to move around and position how you want it, but is also sturdy enough that it won't droop down once in place. It definitely has improved the sound of my microphone too as it helps with any "P", "T", and other plosive sounds I make while talking. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a good pop filter to use on their Blue Yeti microphone.

This mic filter does what it says it does. It stops the pops on bs and ps, and protects the mic from saliva. However, it doesn't stop the mic from picking up breaths, and atmospheric or white noise. You would need to get a cap for those, in addition to the filter. This filter isn't that easy to install if you have issues with your hands. Another pair of hands may be necessary to get it into position and tighten it into place, in that case. Also, the tab that holds it into placecame fused to the bracket. It took some real brute force to get it to separate. In fact, I thought it wasn't going to come off at all, at first. I finally wedged it free and attached the filter to my Blue Yeti. It hasn't slid or loosened at all. Mine also came in different packaging than what is shown in other user images. No directions or tips for how to best mount it were included. It's not that hard to figure out, but still. The clamp is flush/flat, and the arm of the Yeti mix is not. That takes a bit of finagling to get it in the best spot to stay secure. It's not a perfect situation, hence the 4 stars. Also worth nothing is it's made in China. What's different about the mic filter from others that are cheaper is that the bracket is flat. On other brackets the clamp is curved in a way that it can't fit snugly to the Yeta arm, even though they are advertised to fit it. This one is not made by the Yeti manufacturer (which is odd, as they don't make any accessories for it), but it's the only one that actually fits without sliding. In all I do recommend this filter for the Blue Yeti. It does its job and stays put.

Not much to say about a pop screen. I bought this along with my Yeti mic and it attaches nicely to the base. And, you know what? It stops most pops. Yeah. It actually does what it says. Which is nice. For once. And my podcast sounds awesome. I've recorded a solid half dozen episodes on the Unified Republic of Stars at this point and it shows no signs of wearing out. So, that's quality. A couple of notes about it: 1) It does clamp nicely to the Yeti's stand but you'll probably have to play with it to make it fit on along with the USB connection and the headphone jack. But, it's only a few minutes out of your day and you're probably not making money off what you're doing with it anyway, so what's a minute or two, am I right? 2) It doesn't stop lip smacking from making it through. Listen for it when you record. If your lips are wet, there might be a little pop between words where you press your lips together (I'm sure there's a technical term for this but, what am I? A linguist?) But it's tiny, and probably hardly audible except to the person recording. And I'm sure it would be worse without this filter. Just look for those little blips on the waveform and edit them out. Or... you know... lip balm. 3) Place it a little less than a handwidth away from the mic, since you're supposed to speak into the mic at about a handwidth. Unless you like rubbing your lips up against the filter, which I totally understand but, yeah... it's not really my thing. Plus, I imagine less saliva might make it last longer. I bought the one-pack and that seems more than enough for me. But I'll report back if I find it falling apart after the next few episodes. Also, the bonus ebook. Not a bad little extra. Didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know but, then, I've recorded things before. But for a newbie, it could totally change the way you think about audio. Or not. Hey, it's up to you.
