No more big screens!

I was anxiously anticipating this baby as its small, compact and wont fall off my boom arm. It came today. Easily fit over my mic in the shock mount and sounds GREAT! Not muffled like a smaller mic 'poof' as I worried it could be. Put away the old windscreen and get this...a MUST!!

Small, light and effective

I've never liked the more traditional pop filters. The clamp and gooseneck were usually too heavy and the screen too big. As a professional voice-over, I read my copy from the monitor in front of me, and my pop filter was always in the way... until the PopGard 2000 came along.

It's super light and it does not block my vision. It does block my plosives while it protects the microphone from 'mouth moisture'. Try it out and I think you'll never go back to your old popper-stopper!

These are great

These are just about perfect. I've used other pop guards before - you know, the ones which the goose necks that are not quite long enough / too stiff so the guard is not positioned exactly where you want it, etc.?

Well, these clip onto my side address mics (TF M16II, AK47, AT 4050, Rode NT2) perfectlyl They stay put when the talent moves the mic around, are acoustically transparent, but block "pops", keep lips from getting just too close to the mic, etc.

Cool product

Nice pop filter idea...I like how you don't use goosneck mount. Probably pick up some for my good mikes...T-Funk's, etc.

Voice Over

Doesn't work for me

I read the reviews, everything looked really positive and everyone was pretty much in agreement. So I purchased one, but was very disappointed at how "muddy" it made my voice sound. I do voice over work and have a medium register voice. I was using this on a ribbon microphone which sounds fabulous with the traditional stocking style filter. There's just something about the Wintech metal-type mesh that takes away from the "highs"........at least on my voice. Sorry!
