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

A pop filter is basically absorbent cloth over a frame, so it's hard to go wrong with it. You could make your own, if you had to, out of old nylon and coat-hangers. But having said that, the Auphonix device is of a nice solid construction: no frills, but good workmanship. The Yeti's shape in its desktop configuration is really not ideal for attaching a regular pop-filter. The Auphonix clamps to the base of the Yeti mic as advertised and gets the job done for vocals. I sort of hemmed and hawed over which surface to clamp it to, but it looks like it's made to go on the curved back-brace: the screen folds around neatly in front of the front of the mic. It adds no vibration or sound to recording, so far as I can tell. The screen itself is a good thickness for cutting your plosives without soaking up your breathier vowels. And isn't cutting plosives without soaking up your breathier vowels what you woke up this morning hoping for? Did you not turn to your significant other with a wistful look and murmur, "I want to cut my plosives without soaking up my breathier vowels"? It is, and you did. Your search is over.

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.

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.

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.

I am new to home audio work, but after looking at a range of pop filters (at a range of prices), I decided to settle on this one to go with my Blue Yeti microphone. I am able to work in a relatively quiet environment, but was ready to kick up my recordings and try to get away from lingering ambient noises and that hollow sound like my voice was in a cavern. I do not have the resources to build a whole noise cancellation booth, but I decided to pair this pop filter with the Foam Windscreen for Blue Yeti (available here on Amazon) and the Monoprice 602650 mic isolation shield (also available here on Amazon). Between these three items, ambient noise was blocked entirely and things like footsteps, computer clicks, and breathing/various small sounds from other people in the room went away. My voice became clear and strong even when speaking in a normal, conversational tone. I am lucky to work in a relatively quiet environment, but this kicked things up significantly in sound quality and I have no regrets investing in this piece of equipment along with the other three. I had no problem with the clamp attachment on this piece and getting it to stay secure on my Yeti. Highly recommended and I am very, very happy that I spent a little more to get such a quality piece of equipment that will last.

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!

This pop filter looks great and was a great deal. It moves well so it's super adjustable. My issue is with the clamping part. It's been a week and the rubber padding is already about to fall off! I'm willing to accept that there is probably some user error involved, because I was under the impression it would be super obvious where to attach to my Yeti and Yeticaster but it wasn't really. I tried some places but then it was too long and hard to adjust to be where I needed it and then I finally settled on one place right where the compass attaches to the arm. It seemed like it attached well and everything was fine, but I noticed this morning just how messed up it is! I'm assuming it has been sliding for this whole week very gradually but I'm just surprised it would slide at all after this short of a time. Pretty bummed. I guess when this thing finally breaks I'll just have to be without because I've already spent so much trying to make sure that my students can have decent audio quality during virtual music class.

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.
