Review on 🎤 Black Large Foam Mic Windscreen - Ideal for MXL, Audio Technica, and other Large Microphones by Alexis Brown

I did some sound testing on the windshield to see how effective it is. I ran tests in Audacity, a free audio editing and recording software, and tested the sound with and without the windscreen. The top rail is entry WITHOUT a windshield and the bottom rail is entry WITH a windshield. I spoke into the microphone and performed several breath tests at close range (10 inches with 45% audio gain) and at far range (2 feet with 80% audio gain). As you can see in the spectrogram (3rd photo), at the 6-9 second mark you can see that the normal part of the breath sound shows almost no difference with and without the windshield on both lanes. At the 12-15 second heavy breathing mark, some of the windshield noise suddenly reduced some of the breathing. Near the 24-27 second mark on both audio tracks, I ran a mic click test to see if the audio clipped the "P" sound. The top track shows a fair amount of pop, while the bottom tracks show less of it. Upon further sound testing, the rest of the two tracks show almost no difference when I breathe normally next to the mic. All in all, this windscreen is ideal for those on a budget to reduce wind noise when breathing or slightly muffle computer fan noise while recording an audio track.
