Do you really need a pop filter?

Simple – pop filters are used to stop plosives. ... Plosives sound louder in microphones than they do in the real world. So while you don't need to carry around a pop filter in your back pocket for every time you sing, a pop filter for recording vocals is necessary. Plosives are especially harsh in condenser mics.

Do pop filters really work?

Salts in human saliva are corrosive, so the use of a pop filter may improve the lifespan of the microphone.
