X1 mini Professional Microphone Windscreen Wind Shield Pop Filter, Acoustic Filter (Black)

Cuts a lot of excess noise.

Works well as a pop filter as far as I can tell, though it's so bulky that I found it kept getting in my way.

Wasn't the best one I've used, and I don't feel like it eliminated outside noise as much.The design is a little flimsy but I'm guessing that it has to be to fit on the mic and stand.Overall, not the best soundproofing tool I've used but not bad.

Overall, this is a great little mic filter that just works, and works well, as long as your mic isn't too large. You can use it with a large microphone, but with some caveats.This is an excellent little mic filter that serves multiple purposes, from wind screen to acoustic filter to its (removable) pop filter. It's easy to use, you just pull it out of the box and put over your microphone, with its hole in the front (where you'll be speaking), and put the pop filter into the hole. It's a simple design but executed well, and it's made of very high-density foam that works well to reduce echo and other unwanted noises that might hit your mic from off angles. The pop filter is simple but effective, held in by the friction of the hollow plastic disc which is wedged into the hole in the foam filter.If you're like me and your microphone is thick and beefy (I have a Blue Yeti), as you can see, this design... might not fit super well over the microphone. It does work but it definitely takes some push and pull, and the pop filter is just kind of sitting in there, not very securely. Again, it works even in my case, but it's not ideal. If you have anything smaller than a Blue Yeti (which accounts for most microphones by far), you shouldn't have that issue, but it is worth noting.The pop filter is a little hollow plastic disc with two layers of thin fabric which effectively blocks any loud 'pops' of air like when you say a hard 't' or 'p' sound, for example - you'll be familiar with it because it's a very common sound of someone speaking up against a mic without one. It works well, and unless you purposefully try to defeat it, you won't have to deal with that 'pop' sound because it blocks that burst of air from hitting the microphone's diaphragm, without blocking the sound of the word itself.I would avoid getting any food or moisture on the microphone filter or pop filter, because they would be very difficult to get out. It's not at all easy to wash because the outer layer is a thick dense foam, while the pop filter is a thin light double layer of fabric. It's almost impossible to wash either of them outside of dusting them or vacuuming. That's not a design flaw, though, it's just how both of those materials work. If you get food on it, you may just have to replace it, but if you keep it clean it should last for multiple decades.There's not too much to say about it because it's such a simple design, but it works well, and I've got it on my microphone that I use multiple hours every day. Audio quality will depend on your microphone itself, but this won't make it sound any worse at all either way. I'll update this review if any new issues with it pop up, but you can expect this to work well for however long you need it.I only review things that I personally use myself on a regular and continued basis. I always give my full, honest, unbiased and unfiltered opinion on everything I review. I will not hold back or avoid describing any issues I have with a product. I write exactly what I think about things - the good, the bad, the ugly, and the questionable. If I get multiple of something it's because I regularly use and need both of them. And, I will update my review if something breaks, stops working as intended, or otherwise doesn't hold up as expected.

I've been a digital nomad for many years and I've done a bunch of podcasting off and on all this time. I've tried many solutions for getting good audio and isolating from room noise or outside noise, including creating one of those foam boxes from a fabric cube. This is a better solution than that by far (especially since I don't have to talk into a box...) and works as well as long as your mic fits. Even though it doesn't quite fit mine (Yeti Nano), I was able to shave a bit off the bottom easily since it's all foam. In order to keep the pop filter in place I wrapped a rubber band around the whole thing. Works!Recommended.

This pop filter is a must-have for anyone serious about achieving high-quality audio. The high-density noise-canceling foam is outstanding, effectively blocking ambient noise and creating a noticeable upgrade for any recording session. The multi-sided noise reduction with its seal design is a standout feature. It cuts down noise from various directions, and the single-side opening prevents sound from diverging during recordings, making the audio clearer and more focused.I have been using this for the past few weeks, and it has improved my recording without needing a Vocal booth. I have been able to record with a condenser microphone in the same room as my equipment, fans, and AC unit, effectively canceling their noise. Moreover, while it does a good job at canceling certain frequencies, the microphone will still capture it if a loud car passes. However, I positioned the microphone with some foam wall behind it to help alleviate the problem. The foam also makes it so the best vocal performance comes from the front through the pop filter, which does an excellent job with plosives.I love how convenient this filter is. Its portable design makes it easy to install and move around, whether I’m setting up in my home studio or on the go. Just keep in mind that it does add some bulk to the microphone. However, the added bulk is a good tradeoff because, despite its lightweight build, it delivers impressive noise reduction.

It's been a few years since I recorded at home, so when I recently started back up, I realized I couldn't find any of my old pop filters. I was able to rig one using a hanger and my wife's panty hose, but that was just a temporary solution. When I saw this pop filter by "Micfuns," I thought it was worth giving a try. I was never a huge fan of the gooseneck pop filters that look awkward and are sometimes hard to place - but I suppose they are better than panty hose stretched around a clothes hanger. This filter slips right over your mic and appears to be designed to create a mini sound booth by surrounding the rest of the pattern with foam. I haven't recorded with the filter yet, but when I do, I'll test the signal with/without the filter and update my review if it doesn't sound as good.

This type of pop filter is relatively modern, and I believe it’s effective. Not only does it block explosive consonants like "P," but it also acts as an enclosure to minimize unwanted noise. However, if you think it’s meant to eliminate all stray noises, it’s important to note that it’s not a miracle solution. Additional tools like compressors, de-essers, and noise gates may still be necessary. (I mention this to emphasize the benefits of using these filters without expecting them to perform miracles.)In summary, this filter is a great choice. It’s designed for vertical use.
