This is my first pop filter for recording vocals. I've been able to use it a few times and it's very effective. I ran the "Peter Piper Gathered a Bunch of Pickled Peppers" test with the filter about 2 inches from my mic and about 1-2 inches in front of the pop filter. It got rid of all the pops, which are very annoying, with no filter, which is why I rate it excellent. The price was great too. It fits all of my mic stands and installs in front of the mic in just a minute. You can't go wrong with this!
