Review on Microphone Windscreen Anti Vibration Suspension Diameter1 8In by Joshua Nation

Firstly, yes, the fastener design is metal, not plastic. The pop filter is made of plastic with rubber bands. The shock absorber is said to be designed to reduce the noise generated by vibration from the boom, table, etc. Honestly it only makes a small difference, unless because it's just installed and the suspension is still stiff? I'm not sure, but while the included pop filter is better than nothing, it's pretty much rubbish. I only use it to have a double layer with a nylon pop filter. This is a good buy if you're on a tight budget and just need a quick upgrade. However, if you have the money, I recommend getting a metal mesh pop screen and a more expensive shock.
