 "Poof goes the dream of a practical Pop" 2010-01-16
By Samuel Chell (Kenosha,, WI United States)
The high-end mics I've worked with at the radio station don't require a pop filter between the microphone and the announcer (thank heavens). The filter is internal, built into the mic. But when recording at home with a mic costing a hundred or less, you'll soon discover the necessity of a pop filter for muting those P and S sounds (unvoiced stops and sibilants, they're called). And even after picking up a pop filter, don't be surprised if you still find it necessary to consciously mute those particular sounds, de-emphasizing them vocally by speaking more softly and off to the side of the mic.



The hope is for a pop filter that isn't as large, heavy, and awkward to use as most. The Blue, unfortunately, isn't it. The instructions say to hook it to a mic stand, which should be understood to be a heavy-duty, floor-standing mic stand, not the little desk stand that many if not most audio hobbyists use while employing a Blue mic with their computer. Granted, I'm able to attach the Blue and other pop filters to the thick and heavy base holding up the screen of my desk-top computer, but it's an awkward arrangement, a nuisance to set up and requiring constant adjustment.



One of these days someone will invent a practical internal pop filter or a miniaturized, lightweight one that can quickly and efficiently be used in conjunction with a small desktop or computer mic. But we're not there yet. We're still at a stage where building your own "pop filter" with a piece of stretched nylon stocking inside a jar lid is apt to be at least as effective as the commercial ones and a lot less expensive.

 "The POP is the TOP !!!" 2010-01-10

I'm not sure why the previous negative reviewer called this overbuilt(???) but this is a professional, all metal heavy duty pop filter that is widely used in many high end studios typically selling for $70-$100. I bought mine here for $28.10 and now it's priced at lower $24.63!!! This is the typical price for the cheap plastic pop filters that keep falling off mic stands. I have a large diaphragm condenser mic which works excellent with the large Blue Pop. Check other websites for reviews on the Blue Pop and you will find that this one is clearly the winner!!!

Looks great, but the screen is so overbuilt and heavy the gooseneck can't adequately support it. I returned mine.
