Nice! Awesome info Justin!

I use one of my AKG C414 XLII like this now for my vdo conference and discord chats! 👍🏻 keep up the great content bro!

I love the Pauly pop filters… they’re great

where does something like the Hakan P110 stand in a comparison with these? thanks

the Aston Swiftshield is insane !!! try that one next :D love you Justin!

The sound difference is not big enough to bother. The real issue with pop filters is the gooseneck and how well it can be mounted on a stand with a mic. I wish you'd show that instead. There have been times where I would use a second stand just for the pop filter because it was that annoying. Also you didn't try the type you can mount on a mic (like a shield) which are quite small and have no gooseneck. I didn't try them yet myself but I think I'll do that before buying another one on a gooseneck, expensive or not.

If you're using $3000 mic in a treated room then 'saving' $50 for 'not much difference' is a v false economy. If you're doing youtube vids etc on a blue yeti, absolutely agree. Both scenarios are valid and you have to draw your own cost/performance line between the 2. As far as goose necks go, I'm all about the separate stand, any pro studio will likely have a separate stand - pops and even non-pop impacts vibrate the screen...the neck and off to the mic. This is also why I'm dubious of the ones that attach directly to the mic ie Hook - I've tested and while it's at the extremes they are physically coupled to the mic so...physics. Something else worth remembering is enough distance between the screen and the mic - screens disrupt airflow rather than blocking. Having the screen 1cm from the mic and 10cm from the mouth is the wrong way round - air is still moving around the filter and that close it still risks creating noise.

Thanks, Justin! I've been using an old threadbare t-shirt stretched over a wire hanger for um...13 years now? :)

“Whether you want to rob a bank, or make fire beats” 😂 😂 😂 I forgot to bring a pop filter with me today for mobile tracking so we used a very thin sock and it did the trick! Thanks as always for the also videos!

Haha, thanks for being a member Robb, and for the comment!

This is a really cool comparison. It makes me curious if there would be a way to do this as a null test. Theoretically if you recorded a sentence with some plosives, then played it into the mic again from a speaker, both with and without a pop filter, you could null test those to identify the contribution of the pop filter specifically (and maybe put the pop filters on a different mic stand so you can be certain the mic never moves when you change them out). That said, I would imagine that if the sound for the null test is coming from a speaker rather than an actual mouth, the air might behave differently around the pop filter, so the results might not be very meaningful. Have you ever tried to do a null test comparison this way before? Also, do you have any idea if, or to what extent, the difference between having a loudspeaker vs person as the sound source would affect the results of such a test?

Plosives are a result of air blasts produced by the mouth (lips). A speaker will not produce a plosive.

I've been looking for this type of comparison just for MICROPHONEs too!! haha

HELLO.. Is a pop filter used for karaoke outside? And what kind of professional wired microphone should I use for my karaoke portable speaker?

For outdoor applications, you probably want a foam windscreen that attaches to the mic to cut down on wind noise. Hope that helps!

Do I rob a bank or make fire beats? That’s a question I ask myself every morning.. also, I think you need a little distance from the mic when using a pencil. You need that space to let the air split and go in opposite directions.

i hear your DITHER!!! :o lol

AAAAHAHAHAHAA @ 2:25

The best pop-filter is your mouth and mic skills
