Is this as good or better than a double layered $7 or $19 standard black pop filter?

Probably not. I can really only comment on the fit and since I can't get the filter to fit properly (it's obviously not made to fit) I can't really say how well it functions. The response from Blue was to buy another stand. I'm not at all happy with the filter or the response from the company. If you've visited their website you'd have seen that they're relying on a workaround suggested by a customer. Good luck!

I bought the blue universal pop filter and it works like a dream, its not that expensive and its made by blue.

Worse, not because of the POP technology, but because it does not Fit well. You spend FAR more time fighting it, than recording.

I think they can both be effective. This one will probably last longer though. I like mine.

I wouldn't make a blanket statement about ALL Amazon sellers, but Able's prices are a bit unreasonable. There are other filters for <30USD that not only have the laser cut mesh like the Kone, but an additional ultra-fine wire mesh that gets you pretty close to a paper filter experience, but with a bit more oil/body. Maybe the price is reflected in the fact that Kone is made in the USA? Either way, you have options.

You will definitely need to use your pop filter to stop poping "p" and breath noises. The isolation shield lowers room reverberation that normally comes to the back and sides of your microphone from walls and low ceilings that can cause it sound thin in a room that is not acoustically treated. Think of it as a mini vocal booth. It doesn't kill it totally bouncing reflections but reduces it greatly giving you a tighter clearer sound out of your microphone. A lot will depend on the microphone you are using. I currently have two shields that I use one a pair of Rode NT-1 mics mostly for vocals. The shield works on the sides and rear of the microphone and has little effect on the front of the microphone so you still need to make sure nothing is bouncing off walls directly behind you. I think this shield does a great job.

I have always had, used the filters as shown, white, for my Hoover FloorMate. They're pliable, meant to bend some, but hardly flimsy or of poor quality for normal use in the device. I am unaware of any change in replacement filter, wondering if they have so made a change or if you got a filter for a different model accidentally. I do know from your comment, I will avoid the black rimmed filter, direct purchase or if it comes in lieu of an ordered white one. I doubt I helped you as much as you me, so thanks.

The best value in a protection filter is the Hoya 58mm DMC PRO1 Clear Protector Digital Filter. I can't believe that price. I recently purchased a used Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 it came with a Sunpack UV filter, which destroyed the image quality of the lens. I took a couple pictures with no filter, to make sure I was going to keep the lens, then promptly ordered a Hoya Pro1 Clear filter for it. The larger 67mm filter for the Tamron, is 3 times what the 58mm is selling for, but, well worth it. There is NO degradation in image quality using the Hoya Pro1 Clear filter.

If the $200 item looks like the picture adjacent to the left, then I would buy that one. I think I bought my filter for about $200 and it works really great. These filters are very simple in construction and I don't understand the reason for the large fluctuation in price.

Both units look good to me. I own the hunter, and I have been extremely happy with it. It creates a moderate type of white noise on the medium setting, for me this masks household noise and helps me sleep. I think the cost of the filters should be a factor you look at in comparing the two. It looks like the winix filters are 2X the hunter.

Not sure if serious? Even though it says multiple times in the description, I guess I'll be the nice guy - here's a link to more info on pop filters: http://bit.ly/1xDELmB Good luck with your new podcast.

Get the Simple Cup filters. They fit good and I use them all the time. I buy the box of 300. Got to get another box. They are thinner than the Melitta Java Jig filters. Cheaper though and work great in the MyCafe cups. I use them all the time. I will get 2 boxes this time.

I believe it is. I was not 100% convinced that I should replace my black Berkey filters with new black Berkey filters due to some complaints about glue releasing from them. So I researched quite a bit and discovered the white filters that could be used in place of the black. In my research I learned/was told, that these filters had been used by the queen of England. I have been very happy with my Berkey system and really like the white filters best.

I prefer the black berkey filters. Everything I read about the ceramic is they are not as good as the black filters. Though, should research yourself by reading up on what they do and don't do prior to purchase to make sure the filter you want to purchase is best for your needs.

It really does depend which manufacturer made your mic. If you paid <$100 for your mic, then I would suggest getting this pop filter. However you can also easily make your own pop filter if you wish relatively easily.

I didn't have your model using UF-3 filter, and I don't feel any wrong about the taste. But the system leaks so bad after using almost for a year and Costco accept my return. Now I am using APEX, so far so good.

Personally I use a Blue Snowball with this pop filter. I have a friend who also uses the pop filter with a yeti mic. Id assume it would work well with mics of similar size.

I bought this pop filter because the bracket that attaches to the blue yeti mic stand was to big and got in the way of the mobility of the mic. Only difference I can think of is some pop filters have a fine metal mesh screen this pop filter has a nylon mesh screen which I like better than metal

I originally bought the mb42s and ordered/installed the $30 crossover kit from Micca. While I could not directly compare the two, I did have the originals "unaltered" long enough to notice an improvement in sound, especially at louder levels. Also I felt the mb42s lacked a little high end. After installing the upgrade, the highs were much better. There is a website that gives an equalizer adjustment that really makes them shine. basically, you knock down the 1K frequency by 4/5 db, and boost the 6K about the same a tad less. Definitely worth the $20 difference!

I think the only difference is the color...I do not like the Starkey filters. They are too small and plug up quickly. Just sayin'
