Okay, so I bought this because I do app review videos for a blog and my Blue Snowball mic was picking up the awful “pop” sounds that this is supposed to filter “hard P, hard T, hard B, S, and a few others.” So I got this. Here are my pros and cons:
Pros
1. It works. I tested in Sony Vegas pro with and without the filter. The “pop” sound is completely removed with the filter. Which means it does what it was designed to do. 5-stars. It does not affect voice volume at all, just smooths those rough edges in your speech 😀
2. It looks nice. Attached to my Blue Snowball, it looks like a professional product. It doesn’t really matter since I work from home and not in a public place, but it’s nice to know I can show it to people and it “looks nice”
3. The clamp, bendable arm, and everything work appropriately. The clamp is designed to hold onto a bar and not a flat surface. So mounting this to, say, a desk probably won’t be a stable as attached to a round thing, like the stem to a mic.
4. I don’t know why people think this “isn’t sturdy”…I mean you’re not going to the local rink and playing hockey with the darn thing. The build quality is quite excellent considering that it’s 2 fragile screens attached to plastic and metal.

Cons
1. It’s pretty big. I used to shorten the stem on my Blue Snowball and stash it in a cubby hole in my hutch desk for easy storage. I can’t do that anymore with this pop filter on it. Now it’s become a permanent member of the front of my desk.

Outside of this thing doubling the space my Snowball takes up, I have no complaints about this pop filter. It works well, it attaches nicely, it does what it is supposed to do, it looks nice, and the quality is good. This should be the last pop filter I have to buy for a long time.

The only thing I don’t like about this product is that it comes in a plastic clamshell. The filter has two layers of nylon mesh that are extremely delicate and easily ‘picked,’ which will allow a continually expanding hole to develop. (Think of a pantyhose run.) Take care, therefore, when removing the filter from the package so the mesh does not brush against the sharp or rough edges that result when the packaging is cut open.

I suggest slicing through the clamshell all the way around and completely separate the two halves before removing the filter. I was in a hurry and just snipped open the top, thinking I could safely pull the filter out through the opening. I could. I did … and I picked a hole in one side of the mesh. The filter still works, but the dime-size hole will grow until the filter becomes unusable.

Do as I say do, not as I did 🙂

Five stars for the quality and functionality of the product. One star for packaging that can be hostile to the product itself.

 The Nady MPF-6 Pop Filter is a great value, since it works very well and is a lot less expensive than some of the other manufacturer’s alternatives. We have been producing professional instructional videos for several years (some are available on Amazon)for my wife’s business, but we recently decided to offer our services to local businesses as well. That required us to put a little more effort into making our studio area more professional looking for clients, which meant replacing the double thickness of stocking stretched over a wire coat-hanger form we had been using as a Pop Filter.

It works very well for attenuating the sharper “P”, “T”, and “S” sounds that cause spikes when doing voice-overs. This is a well made unit that connects firmly to the microphone stand with a screw clamp (see my picture in “Customer Images” of this unit connected to our 

Blue Microphones Snowball USB Microphone (White)

) and has an flexible neck so it can easily be positioned as needed.

I am very please with this Pop Filter as it works as expected, looks good, and didn’t cost very much!

Highly Recommended!

The only thing I note is that the metal gooseneck seems slightly loose and will sag after positioning. Once it is positioned correctly, it seems to be stable, but it’s hard to tell whether it will loosen further with use. At half the price of many competing filters, it’s hard to be too critical but for people who reposition it a lot, this is something to be aware of.
