Review on 🎀 Enhance Your Blue Yeti Mic with Mic Cover Foam Windscreen - Size A, 1 Pack by Richard Payne

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better than a pop screen

For a streamer, this item is priceless. I never liked seeing all these people talking into their mics with these clunky pop filters on their mic stands. If you're a singer who SINGS into a microphone, then of course I see a need for something like that. But for the rest of us, you don't need that stupid thing. Of course, I suspect this will make your mic look "studio quality" to some people, but let's face it, it's not necessary. This cheap little foam cap does everything a pop screen does and just slips over the mesh of your YTI mic. 10 seconds to install and you're done FOREVER. You don't have to adjust or move it like pop filters, just set and forget. This comes from a guy who bought a fancy pop filter for his latest mic and got tired of messing around with it. When I got my YTI a few months ago I wanted to test this thing out and it worked like clockwork. I'll never fiddle with a pop screen again when I can just throw on a foam windscreen. Another thing people don't understand about pop filters is that they only protect your mic from wind in ONE DIRECTION. Depending on where you're recording/streaming, the weather, and such, where your vents and even ceiling fans are, they can mess up the mic with pop filters. Ceiling fans blow air down or pull it up, a pop screen can't stop it. Air conditioning vents, dammit, be sure to pick up the extra sound of the wind. How to avoid it? Get this windshield! It blocks wind and air from ALL directions and I've tested it with box fans in the room to see if it's possible.

Pros
  • musical instruments
Cons
  • boring packaging
