the t.bone MS 180

It`s really cheap and does what it`s for perfectly... It`s easy to mount on any mic stand. It helps in eliminating the harsh pushes of air which create a 'pop' sound in the audio recording, so you get a better, cleaner sounding audio without 'popping' B, P and T sounds. The filter`s is made out of a double layered nylon mesh which holds back the air. The flexible steel arm holds the filter perfectly in front of the microphone capsule. It`s necessary for small and large diaphragm condenser microphones, it`s not needed for dynamic mics. I have never used my microphone without it, because it even protects the capsule from the accidental water drops coming from my mouth. My opinion is that it makes the microphone setup look much more professional on live stream or in videos.
I don`t really like the elongated steel piece which connects the mounting knob to the end of the flexible arm, I think it`s a little bit goofy, but I can live with it, because of the low price.
I think that there`s no point in buying anything else because this is the cheapest pop filter on the site and it does it`s job perfectly.

We bought the t.bone MS 180 as we needed a pop filter. Not much can be said about the functionality... It is a pop filter, it does it's job.

However, when talking about the quality it isn't the greatest. The filter itself fell off of the goose neck on the first use. On inspection the filter is held on with a glue, which for some reason just wasn't holding, it has now been glued back using superglue. Along with the above, the goose neck has a tightener to stop it swiveling, however no matter how tight it is, it comes unscrewed on its own while trying to get the filter in the right position.

The filter is okay if you are on a budget, but expect what you pay for.

This is a good choice for your first pop filter. If you just want to get one to try how it feels or to get used to the feeling of having one in front of your face, you won't go wrong with it.

The fabric itself is quite thin, I'd advise being careful where you store the item. Thankfully, it's also a bit elastic, so it can take at least some pressure on it.

The screw holds the entire thing well, I haven't had problems with it falling or sliding of round mic stands.

The gooseneck is not super nimble, hence the 4 stars. Don't expect any acrobatics from it. It can definitely hold the filter for long periods of time but if you've got to twist it into peculiar positions, it will start to unwind on its own.

Pros:
- cheap, handy, does what it's supposed to do;
- a good first pop-filter if you've never used one before;

Cons:
- potentially, there's a high risk of ripping the fabric;
- the gooseneck is sometimes acting against your will.


Overall, I can recommend it.

This pop-shield is 'double-glazed' in that there are two sides to the mesh giving extra protection to the microphone. The mesh is like a fine gossamer, about the same as a 12 denier stocking. The shield diameter of 150mm is more than adequate for all but the most out-sized studio microphones. I found the screw mounting easy to use and it attached to my microphone stand easily without damaging the finish when tightened. The goose-neck is sufficiently flexible to enable positioning of the shield quickly in most any position. All in all I was very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking to get the best results from a studio quality microphone on a small budget.

I got this "popkiller" as part of a package (together with the millenium ms-2003 microphone stand).

It was quite hard to figure out how to fix and tighten the popkiller to the stand. After tightening the screw multiple times to make the whole thing as stable as possible, the screw ended up breaking (!!! yes, it was apparently made of plastic !!!) after less than a month.

I can't say much about the "pros" of the product, as I didn't get to use it a lot ...

I'm not a professional so I don't "need" that popkiller but still, it gave me a poor impression of this product.
