Aston Microphones Shield GN Premium Microphone Pop Filter and Gooseneck

Awesome windscreen gives my rig a unique look. Love it! Strong grip. The arm is just the right size. Nice upgrade from the typical black circle screen.

Awesome Pop Filter definitely loved it!

The packaging was broken, the gooseneck piece was missing so I couldn’t even clip the filter to my mic. The filter itself is gorgeous but unfortunately it was dented. Had no choice but to return. I’ve read plenty of reviews that it arrived damaged. Clearly this product needs better packaging. Seems so cheap for the price.

This thing rules. I decided to get one after trying it out! It is super transparent, and doesn't seem to add that whistle on the high end that some other metal filters do. Genuinely feel like it performs better than my stedman xl.Now, 2 big caveats: buying this thing on amazon is a PAIN. A number of "NEW" purchases ended up being very obviously used and soiled products. Covered in mysterious brown stains everywhere, and damaged goosenecks. Not a fault of Aston, but amazon taking back returned items and not properly inspecting them before putting them back on the shelves...if you do not have a local music store to buy these from, note that you may have to do a return or 2 before you are actually given a NEW product here.The other caveat is that the gooseneck and clamp BOTH break ridiculously easily. I'm talking, days, here. I like the filter too much to just throw it away, but I'm on the market for a gooseneck clamp with the right thread size to transfer this to. I'm not sure what the quality control for the goosenecks on this were up to, but it was dismal having the issue across various purchases.

I really like the design, Luxury look.It is highly recommended! :)

Very good! I can wash it!

Contrary to the negative review here, this pop filter blows the alternatives out of the water. It’s curved, so it protects the mic from off axis angles (granted, plosives are greatly minimized off axis anyway). It looks stunning, and the stuff gooseneck is really useful - it means it stays in place like a wall once positioned - no more dealing with sagging filters. I had a cheap circular metal filter that ended up warped and looked amateur. This is in a league of its own.Tested with a Mojave MA 300, and when I took the filter off I was shocked at how easily the mic overloaded at the merest hint of a breath or plosives. This one is staying.Side note - Richard from Aston customer support was extremely helpful when I reached out for a repair on my origin. Really love this company - the halo is also groundbreaking. Thanks for innovating, Aston! Looking forward to a ribbon mic next.

I like Aston mics. I've owned two of them and think they're pretty decent. Their pop filter is, however, wildly off the mark. The filter itself is ridiculously large. There is no mic anywhere with a large enough basket to require this stupidly large filter. The filter mesh is very fine, which I think is nice. However, I found no discernible difference in plosives between this filter and a $10 metal filter.Further, the goose neck is much too stiff and too short. Because of the filter's laughably large size, you have to position the goose neck clamp further down the chain so that you can properly arc the filter over or under a mic, depending on the setup. That means the goose neck should have been longer, but it is too short to manipulate the filter around. The goose neck itself is as stiff as three plywood boards. It is ridiculously hard to bend. I have no idea why Aston thought this was appropriate. The filter itself is very light, and the neck is the bulk of the weight. There was no need to have the neck this heavy, bulky, and stiff.Overall, this is overrated. If you intend to clamp this filter to a desk or a mic stand, then it may be fine. But it is useless as a solution for tension arm users. Look elsewhere.
