I had one years ago, but didn't particularly think it did much. But I'm actually opening up my room a little and wondered if this might be a good solution again. Any thoughts? If I already have my room treated reducing flutter and Kos etc., is there any point?

I have one, in my treated room it doesn't make much of a difference, so I don't use it every time. However, I was recently reading some quotes about it and I want to start using it again!  In my experience, it's way more important to treat the space in the back of the singer, as I'm sure everyone in this forum knows... |

I use a sterling one but recently had a sibilant artist and had to completely re do the mic position. Mic was mounted mic grill up with pop filter and reflection filter behind.. well to mount mic with grill pointing downward and slightly away from the singer there is no way to attach the reflection filter now .. it dam sure doesn't screw in upside down so now with the mic setup like a traditional vocal booth it is just sitting there being unused.. I am liking the more open Vocal sound as well...
Have tracked mixed and love many vocals with it tho as well so maybe it was doing something when I was using it lol idk if anything I feel like it helps with computer fan noise for me 😂😅
If you are opening up your room that's a sure fire way to close it back down haha

Yes, It would probably be better if you strapped the reflection filter to the back of the singer's head. |

I think these days they come from the schools with them already strapped to their heads. Might be why some can't even get out of the door

Forget singers, I must like the sound of my voice as I'm about to double post
We use the 'instrument' sized ones occasionally with ribbons and SDCs, e.g. when using SDCs on toms or on amps when tracking live
Or the 'vocal' ones when we want that tight, dry, above-the-mix kind of sound or maybe if we plan on using lots of effects on the voice
But you know, it depends on what the situation calls for. Maybe a drummer can't help but hit them or maybe the singer needs to feel less closed in or whatever
