Blue Yeti, Snowball, Quadcast & Shure Mic Pop Filter - Professional Windscreen with Thick Sponge & 360 Gooseneck

Among the best reviewed microphone pop screens of all time is the Hakan p110. It's small profile, excellent plosive rejection and apparent acoustic transparency gave it a reputation arguably even better than the venerable Steadman metal mesh pop screen. The secret was in it's mysterious ultra porous sponge/screen.The only catch...it cost $100!Steep yes, but the results were undeniable. Still, all the while there was something naggingly familiar about that mysterious filter material. Then, a resourceful YouTube cat with a channel called Dracomies figured it out. It was Aquarium Biofilter material. And you can get a bunch of it right here on Amazon for like ten bucks or so.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PDMQF8H/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=A1AE07NH5TJLPD&psc=1Dracomies fashioned his own out the biofilter sponge and an older nylon style pop screen with great results. I was about to do the same and was looking for a 4" screen to cannibalize when I found this. A clone of the Harkan P110 from PROAR for a quarter of the price.I do not have direct experience with the Harkan but from what I can determine, the is a one to one clone of it. In my voiceover booth it's a faultless plosive killer and completely acoustically transparent on the recording.And if I ever need to replace the filter I'll pick some up from on amazon or just go to my local aquarium supply.At the end of the day, this one might be a few bucks more than the DIY option, but it's still a fair price for what it is and it outperforms virtually any other pop screen on the market at or near it's price point. Well played PROAR!Edit: Since I purchased this the price has come down almost $10 making this a great value proposition as well as a great plosive killer.

As far as pop filters go, there is a general consensus that the best one on the market is one that looks a lot like this one but costs five times the price. After seeing this one pop up on Amazon while searching for some aquarium filter media to make my own, I decided to give one a shot since it was less than $20. If it was good, I would be happy. If it wasn't, it would be no loss because six pieces of the actual filter media used in the $100 version is $5 here on Amazon, and at least I'd have a gooseneck.My tests between the $5 filter media and the included media in this pop filter are one in the same. Trying this filter out between an Audio-Technica AT2020, SE X1A, and Neat King Bee II netted exactly the same excellent audio. Gone were the harsh "p" plosives and "s" sibilances. All that was left was good, clear audio from each microphone. When it comes to the King Bee, I like this pop filter a lot better than the snap-to-capsule version that Neat includes because the sound is far more transparent and less exaggerated in the mids. I can actually enjoy the buttery smoothness of the low end on that mic without hyping certain frequencies with their pop filter!The gooseneck itself is constructed well and stays in place. I've read the same complaints in the reviews here as I have with the $100 version in that the nut holding the gooseneck to the clamp comes loose. Whoever is producing this version seems to have fixed that problem. The one I got has no loose parts and stays exactly where I set it. If flaws become apparent, I'll be happy to update this review in the future. As of now, it's pretty solid and does what it promises.Would I recommend this pop filter? Absolutely. I don't see any differences in sound quality between the $100 filter and this one, which costs five times less. If you ever need to replace the foam on your expensive version of this, you're just going to buy the same $5 foam for it anyway. Start here and your in the door cost is far more reasonable.

This is supposed to be clone of the Hakan P110 pop filter. On youtube, you’ll see that people claim the Hakan us made out of an aquarium biofilter sponge. This Proar is likely using the same material.Testing it out against my other pop filters, this is the best so far to my ears. It reduces plosives & yet is pretty transparent sounding with minimal sound coloration.My only issue is that the gooseneck isn’t as flexible as I like. So it’s not as easy to work with.Last thing: On youtube, they recommend pairing the following sponge with this proar holder. I never got it as I’m happy with the proar sponge. But one might want to try it out:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PDMQF8H/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_9?smid=A1AE07NH5TJLPD&psc=1
