You guys spending hundreds on pop filters, are you really hearing A) that much degradation from the typical music store filters, and B) a huge improvement in recorded sounds? I have done some testing over the years and the two pop filters I've bought recevently. Hakan P110 and Pauly Pop Filter definately do make a difference in terms of effectiveness and invisibility. The Hakan is $60 the Pauly is $130. When I consider the cost of my vocal chain those prices don't seem unreasonable. |

Thanks, The Hakan looks really interesting, like the stuff on my parent's Marantz speakers when I was growing up. |

I'm shocked to see "In Stock" on those. I'd never approve having one on the shelf if I were a retail manager. |

Both work fine but I'd be willing to give this a shot. The only pop filters I hate are the Stedman metal pop filters. I always got odd whistling with really strong singers. |

Even still, no one is every buying that thing. I don't think even Tommy Lee would put one in his studio. I've got a Pauly and an old Popper Stopper. Both work fine but I'd be willing to give this a shot. The only pop filters I hate are the Stedman metal pop filters. I always got odd whistling with really strong singers. I'm thinking about trying it. I actually don't have a problem with the general music store pop filters I have. I remember Larry Crane saying the Stedman resonated because it's metal. |

For me, it was because the Stedman is metal and has no give. Do a test and blow into different pop filters like you are blowing out candles. The Stedman (and others like it) create a whistle. That drove me nuts till I figured out what was going on. The Pauly is fine and so is the Popper Stopper. I can always add a little 12K to get back anything lost. But still, I'm curious about the Hakan filter material and how that would sound. Does it give enough that it won't create any artifacts? I might just pick up some of the material and do a simple experiment.

You would think, but sadly I’m sorry to say I have seen way to many people with far more money than brains. The good news is they did help pay my rent for years! |

You can find where you don't pop simply by moving your hand around your face while you say "pop."

Yep, it's really good. Very similar to a Hakan, actually, but no gooseneck. I've got two that came with my two InVision mounts. |

I use the Invision and the JZ pop filter. Love the mount for the Rycote. The JZ mount is pretty good and it's really transparent. Both work great but the JZ is also pretty compact and unobtrusive.

I've tried several pop filter types over the years and the Rycotte is my preference. It's similar/same material as the Haken, but not as thick.

I've always wished I could get an actual Abbey Road pop filter, like the ones used for The Beatles. There are others that look similar, but supposedly, the original Abbey Road filters sound better.

I have increasingly been using these. Maybe not as effective as lollipops, but pretty transparent and they do their job. Sleek and nice to work with.  |

MXL, Pearlman make copies, but the Abbey Road original is said to sound better. |

Interesting ab101, thanks. Testing with your ears and someone's voice is something I'll have to try.

Recently discovered the benefits of no pop filter, and moving further back from the mic...10-12" or so away and no pop filter; best sounding and most consistent vocal sound I've gotten.

I got one of these (with a used mic I bought) and used it yesterday - it was pretty effective and the vocal still sounded good... but the gooseneck is long and takes a lot of finessing to get it to hold. usashop.jzmic.com/products/pop-filter |
