PROAR Professional Microphone Pop Filter Mask Shield For Blue Yeti and Any Other Microphone, Mic Dual Layered Wind Pop Screen With A Flexible 360° Gooseneck Clip Stabilizing Arm

Filter size is too small, and the handle is short, not for professionals

No one is paying me to write this review nor am I associated in any way with the makers! Period! I am a professional singer/songwriter, producer/engineer that’s just trying to pay it forward.First: Anyone who says this pop filter is too small is talking nonsense. Large microphone capsules are generally around 1 in. The largest I have ever seen/heard of/used is 38mm (Lauten Audio Atlantis) which is 1.49 inches. I have used this with my Soyuz 017 Tube which has a capsule of 34mm (1.33 in.) and obviously it works great. I saw a pic of the exact measurement in a different review and I’m 99% sure no human has a mouth bigger than that.Second: This does change the sound of your recordings, but that’s literally it’s job! Pretty sure the point is that you don’t want plosives etc. Where it matters - articulation, presence, clarity etc. - there’s no discernible difference, especially compared to typical mesh pop filters that take out too much high frequency content IMO, and especially when your recordings have been processed or treated (mixed etc.) in a professional manner ie. after compression, EQ etc.Third: The fact that the arm is bolted to the attachment base is a good thing IMHO (especially compared to the cheap welds you get on other filters).. means it’s easily swappable should it fail and also you can tighten it. The video review showing someone touching it and it drooping didn’t tighten this filter to the stand hard enough. Mine.. I really didn’t have to tighten it too, too hard, but it did droop on me when I didn’t get it tight enough at first.Fourth: All-around it’s well thought out, does it’s job and is affordable! Handles plosives better than your typical metal filter and is more transparent than your typical nylon/cloth filter.I have gone through dozens of pop filters (including the one this is “cloning”) throughout my career ranging from $20-300, this one is probably top 2 and the other one costs $237.I will update should anything change!

This is a great value, no nonsense pop filter. Some windscreens fail to do the job but this works. Very happy with it.

The PROAR Microphone Pop Filter is a must-have. Its thick sponge effectively eliminates plosives and wind noise. The flexible gooseneck and sturdy clamp make it easy to use. If you want to improve your audio quality, this pop filter is worth it.

Compared to the metal mesh pop filter I was using before, Proar's pop filter tremendously helps mitigate plosives. Functionality: it does its job 110%, however, the only downside is the locking system. The screw-on-lock is too flimsy combined with the stiff gooseneck, the lock barely holds on and requires you to fully engage/screw on the lock. But I wonder how long it will last if I have to have it on really tight as I am consistently switch between the pop filter and the windscreen.

This is supposed to be clone of the Hakan P110 pop filter. On youtube, you’ll see that people claim the Hakan us made out of an aquarium biofilter sponge. This Proar is likely using the same material.Testing it out against my other pop filters, this is the best so far to my ears. It reduces plosives & yet is pretty transparent sounding with minimal sound coloration.My only issue is that the gooseneck isn’t as flexible as I like. So it’s not as easy to work with.Last thing: On youtube, they recommend pairing the following sponge with this proar holder. I never got it as I’m happy with the proar sponge.
