ZealSound Furry Pop Filter for Blue Yeti vs ZealSound Podcast Microphone

The ZealSound Furry Pop Filter is a foam-and-fur windscreen shaped for the Blue Yeti, Yeti X and Yeti Nano. It replaces the flat pop shield most people clip in front of a Yeti with something that also cuts the breeze from a desk fan or an open window.

It costs about $11, it fits the mics it says it fits, and owners rate it 4.5 across nearly 600 reviews. It does slightly soften the top end, as every windscreen does.

The ZealSound Podcast Microphone costs the same as the standard condenser and adds a noise-cancellation mode. It is worth being precise about what that does: it reduces steady, unchanging sound like an air conditioner or a fan drone. It does not remove a keyboard, a chair or a door, because nothing at this price does.

Everything else matches the standard model: gain knob, mute, a monitoring jack with no delay, and a desk stand you should replace with an arm. If your room has a constant hum, buy this one. If it is quiet or the noise is intermittent, the standard mic is the same money with one fewer button.

Owners rate it 4.5 across its first 70 reviews, a smaller sample than the standard model.
