Shure A81 WS foam windscreens
The Shure A81WS foam windscreen is extremely effective, preventing plosives or wind noise from entering the microphone. Even though they are made to be used on the Shure SM81 and SM 57 microphones they can be used on other microphones with a maximum diameter of 1.25 inches.

As good as it gets
When I ordered this, I did not realize how big it was. Because of its size, it absolutely will not allow any pop to come through. I tried yelling P's and B's into the mic and they were very smooth and did not peak the amp. The main reason for buying this is for a person that eats the mic all the time. Distortion and pops are ridiculous with cheaper windscreens. This baby stops it all. Fits tightly on the SM57 as it should. Only negative is that it takes more gain in the mic channel to get an appropriate sound level at the speaker. This is not a big deal, just crank up the gain.

Just foam? Yes, but...
Okay, so it's just a foam windscreen, and probably shouldn't cost $35. But it works. It REALLY works. It took my Pyle PDMIC78 and makes it sound like a million bucks, because the talent can really eat the mic without and pops. Make the proximity effect work for me. And, yeah, I've tried other foam windscreens and they don't do the job with this mic.

Solid choice for SD microphones
I bought these for using with AKG 460 mics. they are the perfect size for them and have been proven to be one of the best choices without going Rycote or Zeppelin style. I do live audio only not film. Have owned another pair, bought from B & H years ago, and am replacing them as they have been beat up in the gear bag. I would say they protect very well with winds up to 40 MPH. The only con I can say is there is they are difficult to store, but that's more about me than the product.

Great Windscreen Option For the 57
This is a great option for the SM57. I use it in my home recording studio (bedroom) and it allows for a clean vocal recording with no noise. It makes the SM57 even quieter, so you have to pump up the gain a little. It's great. It takes a little maneuvering to get it onto the mic properly, it's a tight squeeze, but that's way better than a loose windscreen. It's also hilariously large, but it makes me feel like I bought a whole new microphone. But it's just my trusty SM57. Do it!

Excellent windscreen for outdoor use
It helps eliminate wind noise even with a steady wind.I've used these for years and they have helped with many recordings.

Just what we were looking for
Husband was looking for windscreens for Geffel 200 mics that were 2-stage foam - finer foam on outside and more open foam on inside. These fit the mics and have exactly the type of foam he was looking for. Also seem to be made well. He uses them for outdoor concert recording, so needs something that is sturdy and will cut wind noise without affecting the music. Also wanted windscreens that were reasonably priced....

Not quite a softee
At a third of the price of a Rycote softee this is almost as good for moderate wind protection. Have used on schoeps cmc/mk mic's for years. It is sonically transparent and protects mic from physical shock, light rain and wind. much cheaper than the schoeps teardrop foam filter. kind of obstreperous for tight interiors but otherwise solid all purpose windscreen.
