Better than a Potato Chip Clip Mount

Nice cleanable filter, decent hardware.........But 50 bucks! come on! The foam screens are not easily cleanable, which is why I decided on this one. I just wish my vocalist would spit a little less when he sings. I'll just make him clean it every time! Buy it though, it's better than the rest in this price range! PEACE

Waste of Money

I bought this a year ago, and I'm sorry that I did. First, the quality is poor for the very high price point. The flexible arm is far too short, and it barely maintains it's position. Within a week of buying this, the protective rubber guard that goes around the screen peeled off, leaving a sharp edge that can cut you and scratch equipment. As far as blocking plosive sounds, it does work but not as well as a nylon mesh. Since it really just redirects the air flow downward, it would work better if the goose-neck was longer. Then the thing could be positioned more than than a half inch away from the mic. Recently, I bought a $7 nylon pop filter which does a much better job. The goose-neck is nearly twice as long, very flexible, and it blocks puffs of air much better. I own three of those now. I tried to find a GC one to recommended, but none of their inventory have long necks. You want one that is 36cm and not 22cm long. (14" vs. 8") It was a poor decision on my part to buy this, and I recommend you save your money

    I've never struggled so much with a pop filter. I think for the price, it's not worth it. It's hard to place where you want it. The neck has no strength and moves where it wants.

  • Not worth the price

    This thing drifts like crazy. It's a pain trying to get it to stay in the right position. The arm length makes it difficult to place in front of certain mics. All in all, it's not worth the price.

  • Nice for recording

    Offers an even better, clearer sound than a mesh fabric pop filter.
