Value priced, meets or exceeds description, works as advertized and is a value.
I purchase several things on Amazon, and was giving pretty in-depth reviews. From this point on, here's the new agenda…. if it works as advertised, is well made, meets or exceeds the description, is a value, and arrives in a fair amount of time, it will get a "star rating" equal to what my expectations were/are. If it doesn't meet these criteria, then I will most definitely and descriptively tell the short comings of the products and you as a consumer will not have to go through the trouble of buying the product without some background knowledge. If the sell pulls that item and relists under another description I will put the exact same review on the seller's feedback page. Seller's have done this a couple of times in the past, and I was true to my word then as well as now. DR

Works well, inexpensive, low-profile, extremely lightweight.
Pop filters are kind of funny to review, because even the cheapest ones work - when they stay in place.After dealing with the cheap, bendy-arm units that flop over at the mere mention of a stiff breeze, I gave the Sywon a try when it was on sale. I use large-diaphragm condenser mics on a couple of podcasts - the Behringer C-1, MXL-440, and MXL-770. The Sywon slips over the windscreen, stays in place, is lightweight so it doesn't affect the mic positioning, and works just fine, despite my attempts to hit it with big plosives and sibilances.I grabbed my three units on sale and will buy more as time goes on. Extremely handy, works great, and easy on the pocket.And if you're in the mood to hear three idiots ramble on about wrestling, movies, comics, and horrible events in history - check out The Rabblecast.

Works with the Yeti (kinda). Details below.
So the description of this item (as of 5.21.18) says it does not fit on the Blue Yeti mic. Which is kind of true. However, in the photos below the description (screenshot of both the description and photo they included are uploaded with my photos) shows the filter on the Blue Yeti. I decided to bite the bullet and try it out for myself.I have been wanting a different kind of pop filter aside from the standard 6" clip on kind. I like the idea of this one being connected to the mic itself but also not as unattractive as the foam sock that just goes over the whole mic. I use the Yeti in cardioid mode so I only need the one direction when it comes to filter plosives. This works. It does it's job just fine. The only thing with it is I had to stretch the bands that came with it in order to get it around my Yeti. It came with at least one spare band in case one broke so I took the risk. I don't mind having the bands on top of the mic itself as shown in the photo. The Yeti looks off if you try to get the other bands around. Plus due to the shape of the mic, the filter is going to be under the necessary area in order to filter the plosives. Only half of the filter will be covering the actual mic and you may even cover up your mute button. But because I am not moving it much when I use it the filter stays perfectly fine as it is.So if you are looking into this style of filter for your microphone and it is the size of the Yeti or smaller (I do not think you will ever find one for a Blue Snowball) then I recommend this one. If you have a bad experience when using it you could always return it for your money back. At the time of writing this it was still fulfilled by Amazon so they are excellent at returns.Anyway I hope you enjoyed my review and found what you were looking for. I am happy with this purchase and so is the new amount space I have along the arm my mic is on as my desk was already kind of cramped. Moving from the clip on pop filter to this was a great decision for me.

Goodbye big, ugly pop filters!
I've been using a popular cheap pop filter from Amazon for a few months but it was extremely annoying to use. The clamp was wearing down and didn't hold onto my boom arm.It also took a ton of screen space due to how large it is. Had to replace it but didn't want to ruin the badass look of my Mic with an ugly foam cover filter.This shield was exactly what I was looking for. Easy to install, took 2 minutes. Blocks out all popping noises and the like. Dirt cheap too, plus with its solid quality I don't see this wearing down for months if not years. Don't look any further if you're investing in a pop filter!

Keeps mic noises to a minimum
I needed a reasonable windscreen for the Razer mic I purchased and works wonderfully well. During my gaming streams, I use a floor stand fan to keep it a bit cooler in my studio and without the windscreen was picking up the fan blowing like I was outside in wind. With it on, eliminates the wind blow sound along with minimizing the mechanical key presses during game play.I am happy with the purchase and would recommend this as a low cost solution to broadcaster background sound pickups.

Compact, but not quite as effective as other designs
I bought this for use with an AT2020 microphone and it fits it just fine. This particular design is used by a few small-time manufacturers on Amazon. It was appealing to me because it's much smaller than other, more traditional style pop filters that can sometimes have cheap/flimsy adjustable arms that don't stay in place properly, or are too big to be used by streamers on video. Unfortunately, it's just not as effective as some of those other pop filters. You can find videos showcasing the difference and these just aren't great performers. It's still better than using nothing at all, but not by much. I'd say there's probably a 25-50% reduction in the intensity of audio clipping caused by plosives (like the P sound in "Peter Piper"), at best. It's fine for the price but there are much better options out there if you're willing to spend the money.

It's good
It works well, I had a brand less pop filter for a while and it's was one that connects to the arm, I got this one and was a little scared bc the yeti is a wide body, but it fits perfectly, it does take a bit to make fit, but once you do, it works like a dream, it makes my mic sound more like a studio quality mic then a blue Snowball which I used to use
