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!

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.

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.
