best pop filter for blue yeti

Are you playing with the idea of buying a Blue Yeti microphone or have you already acquired one? In both cases, it’s a good idea to look for a quality pop filter before you start recording. But wait, what’s a pop filter again, and do you really need one for your Blue Yeti?

What’s a pop filter?

A pop filter is a noise protection filter that will protect your microphone from popping sounds. These popping sounds can happen when fast moving air hits the mic, for example when you’re prounincing letters such as “p”, “t” or “k”. If you want to experience the impact of these sounds, just hold your palm about 2 inches in front of your mouth while you’re speaking. You will see that some consonants propel more air forward than others. These are generally the ones that can cause problems when you’re recording without a pop filter.

Whether you’re a YouTuber or a podcaster, one of the most important things to own is a quality mic.

But which of them is the better choice? In this article, I’ll explore the pros and cons of each mic and will offer my thoughts on which one to choose.

​Why are Blue microphones so popular?

If you watch YouTube, there’s a big chance you’ve watched a YouTuber who is using either the Blue Yeti or Snowball. Why is that?

Well, there are many reasons, but the main reason is that both of these microphones are designed to be set up right on your table. In fact, both come with sturdy (and beautiful) table stands. That’s cool because you don’t need to deal with buying and setting up a more complicated stand (although getting a boom arm is a great idea!).

Another reason is that both of them are USB mics. Until a few years ago, you still needed an audio interface if you wanted to work with professional microphones. Thanks to their USB inputs, both the Blue Snowball and Yeti make recording to your computer a breeze.

Now, how do the Blue Snowball and the Blue Yeti differ from each other?​

Let’s compare them.

You’ve finally got your Blue Yeti mic - now you just need to set it up. But how? YouTubers and podcasters usually have a mic stand to help them with that. In this article, we’ll tackle what makes a good setup and what you should know before you buy a stand for your Blue Yeti mic.

Why getting a mic stand for your Blue Yeti is a great idea

Most people don’t absolutely need an extra mic stand for their Blue Yeti. I mean, one of the benefits of the Blue Yeti is that it already comes with a very stylish table stand:
