Blue The Pop - Pop Filter for Kiwi & Mouse Microphones

Comments about Blue The Pop - Pop Filter:

This pop filter looks very nice.

As far as I can tell, it is doing a nice job at filtering the pops too.

It is, however, a bit difficult to use. It is hard to position the filter, and keep it from dipping below where you would like it. The goose-neck just doesn't stay as rigid as one would like.

Also, keep in mind that this doesn't fit the Blue Yeti microphone. Despite being the same company, there is nowhere to easily secure the filter on the microphone/mic base.

It's a bit pricy at [$], but well worth having once it's installed. If you have the mic, you must this pop filter. Fits nice to the mic and does the job!

This pop filter is ideal for any recording, from vocal to instruments, it does what it supposed to do, block P's, B's and S's on top of it all it is made with great quality, and looks good. I have yet to find anything bad or relevantly discouraging in this product and recommend it to everyone who is in need of the Pop filter, and the price is perfect. i have used it with different mics not only blue and got the same results A++++++

I've used the regular nylon pop filters and the Stedman (which is good), but this Blue Pop filter is by far the best. NO plosives, clear frequency response and it looks AMAZING.
Music is what I do for a living, so it matters to me how the pop looks to clients.. and they all love it.
What I don't love.... nothing.
Buy this.

Strictly in terms of the sound, it softens the p t and f noises very well. I tested it on my Yeti mic with and without the Pop filter... completely smooths out the wind noise but still makes these sound natural. I didn't notice it affected the other noises... for example, I'd hold a vowel sound (a, e, o) and add/remove the Pop filter with no noticeable difference.

HOWEVER... and this is a big problem... the clamp attaches very poorly to the Yeti's stand, even when following the photo which Blue Mic supplied online. The more you tighten, the more it slips up/at an angle till it eventually comes off. If you don't tighten, it's just plain wobbly and falls off with the slightest touch. What I did was hold the clamp in place real hard with one hand while tightening with the other till I found the very tenuous sweet spot (not too tight or loose) to achieve a tenuous hold. I suppose I can probably trim an eraser/piece of rubber and clamp around that like a shim... might work, have to try that.

The other very annoying thing: the neck doesn't hold the weight of the filter very well. Once you get it in place and let go, it immediately sags out of position. Again, you have to fiddle till you finally get it in place and don't move the entire setup.

In conclusion, great sound, but the clamp isn't quite right for the Yeti (I reckon it's designed for a mic stand). And thus, I suspect that's why the neck isn't strong enough for the angle at which it needs to be to accomodate the Yeti. Optionally, don't attach it to the Yeti's stand and attach to another stand or the table.

Needed a pop filter for my Yeti Blue mic. Though not a perfect fit, this one can easily be clasped to the back of the Yeti, allowing me to speak really close to the mic and get great bass without any plosives.

The color is a bit off, not the same shade of steel as the Yeti, but still looks good enough for those looking for an aesthetic solution.

Overall great buy, very satisfied.

I've only had a pair of pops for a short time, but my initial impression is that they're sturdy and well made. The flexible arm is plenty long enough, and unlike other pop filters i've used before, it stays where you put it.
I also like how the screen wraps around the mic a bit.
Nice pop filter, i'm impressed.

Seems to do the job. Well-built.

Simple to set up and easy to use!!!

Because of it's size and curvature, this pop filter is large enough for practically all side address microphones. Unlike some flat metal louver screens, it does not stop 100% of the airflow from explosive Ps and Ts. However, when positioned an optimal distance from the microphone they are not destructive. [I'm using ~2 inches] The best feature is that it is extremely transparent and neutral, sound-wise. Plus, the mounting and positioning hardware are sturdy and attractive. In short, I like everything about it and it does it's job well.

Works great as you would expect, although it is a bit on the pricey side. Fortunately, you can tell that it is made of quality materials. Also note that it isn't compatible with the Blue Yeti unless you have something cylindrical for it to clamp on to such as this: AD-7B Long Microphone Tube by Atlas Sound

I'm using this with the Yeti mic, and it's everything I needed it to be. The curved filter is perfect for the shape of the mic. Since I don't have a mic stand on it, I just screwed the filter clamp on to the base of the Yeti. No problems! [...]

Solid build quality, good looking, easy fittingfor different mic types and setups. At [$] I'll have to buy another one.

Comments about Blue The Pop - Pop Filter:

I use this product for musical/and production purposes, it eliminates the distortion when speaking into a microphone. In comparison, this pop screen filter is by far top notch in it's industry. What i paid on [...] was better than what i would have paid on other sites for a used one.

Bought this to work with the YETI microphone and was worried that it may not attach well based on previous comments and description. However, this attached to the side of the YETI stand and works great.

Will need to be modified or you will need an extension tube to work with the Blue Yeti. Look it up, lots of modification pix. I made an elbow bracket and it works great. Looks great on the mic also.
Made with a metal mesh, it looks to be a double screen kind.

B&H had far and away the best price on this high quality pop filter from Blue Microphones. Outstanding deal.

Comments about Blue The Pop - Pop Filter:

The filter is well made and metal plating is great. I was worried that the filter was too small to use with a large studio mike - it does the job perfectly. I used this pop filter with an AKG Perception 220 mike.
