Everything I was looking for. Works great with SM57.

Great pop filter, sounds great and protects against plosives. Great price too.

Gets rid of all plosives, and helps eliminate background noise. Has an adjustable plastic cap with the base. Be sure not to lose it, as it's part of the pop filter. At $15 this is a bargain, you won't go wrong with Shure here.

The product works as expected. In my opinion, the gray color helps hide the small particles of dust, lint, or dirt inherent in the environment that tend to settle on this type of windscreen, and is usually more noticeable on black filters. The price could be a little lower, but since it's an original Shure product, it's understandable that it's a bit more expensive than average.The filter attaches to the microphone with a small flat screw, which ensures a secure fit and the filter won't move at all. You don't have to worry, as the inner end of the screw doesn't make contact with the microphone itself, but rather with a wide internal plastic washer, which has a vertical cutout for easy adjustment.The filter, installed properly, prevents and/or reduces plosives without affecting the sound quality of the microphone.It was also easy to install. When installing the filter on your Shure SM-57 (or similar model), remember not to insert the filter all the way to the bottom, but rather leave it a few centimeters away (allow a gap of about 0.5 to 1 inch between the top of the microphone capsule and the inner part of the filter). Note that if you press the filter from the top, there should be some room until your finger or hand touches the top of the microphone capsule. I'll upload an image to illustrate how I installed the filter on my microphone.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I could have gone with the "standard" pop filter but the quality and security of she shure sm57 filter is top notch. Looks great on the microphone as well.

Works great

I've had my SM57 for about 3 years now. After almost upgrading i decided to instead try this cheap alternative for my singing to have less emphasis on P and S noises (I have a pop filter, but it's just not thick enough to be suitable to my needs)Works fantastically and very easy to secure with the small screw on the side.Now I'll be using the 57 forever.
