i probably bought this product with amazon like three years ago and i still have it on my mic stand and use it everytime i record music, if anything would recommend you take care of it since the spit protector is very thin like pantty whose wise but still a great buy for better sound production to cut most of the pahhh sounds when recording.
Like another reviewer said, this is all that's needed, since you aren't going to "blow it away."Neck: Not the most rigid goose-neck, but holds its own weight. I didn't expect anything more or less than this. This pop-filter does exactly what it suggests: Filters out the pops. It works for me very well. I no longer have to worry about plosives. As for the individual attributes:Screen: Just a simple mesh, multi-layered, surrounded by a plastic ring. It wouldn't hold up in a sword-fight however ;)Stand-Attachment: Made of metal, and triangular, with a screw that tightens to the stand. Once again, it works well for me, and I can't imagine needing anything more.Overall, I recommend this filter, especially given its price.
It has two layers of material with a space between them so you have to be breathing like Darth Vader to get any kind of puff past it. It works well with either a vertical stand or a boom stand (with the caveat that if you attach it to a boom stand, you can't retract the boom all the way because it's attached to the boom, and it's sort of heavy so you need to crank the boom tightness lever tighter than you normally would). First of all, what it is, is a professional-quality pop filter for use with professional-quality microphones and professional-quality microphone stands. The stalk has plenty of ability to be twisted to where you need it, and is stiff enough to not flop around. If you have some non-professional microphone or non-professional microphone stand, do *not* expect it to work for you, because that's not what it is. It might work in that case, but no guarantees.As for how well it works: Pretty much as well as it could. One aspect of this thing is its size -- it's big, really big, so if you're accustomed to reading a teleprompter above or below your microphone to know what you're supposed to be saying (or singing) then you may have to adjust the filter. But that size means it definitely will give your microphone sufficient coverage to prevent puffs from making it go pop.
This is a no-brainer. Don't even think about using pantyhose and a coathanger. It makes my amatuer vocal performance go down flawless (well, the sibilance is gone, it just needs a little Auto-tune). I'm so glad I bought this silly little thing, 'cause it made a big difference.
Not a bad filter, but sure there are better ones. I wouldn't spend a fortune on one anyway, so this does well.
