A pop-filter, or popper stopper is to guard your microphone from unintelligible "plosives" that tend to appear when recording some consonant sounds. The frequent criminal consonants in the english language are "B", "C", "K", "P", "S", "T" and "Z". Although some "plosives" can be corrected during the audio-editing stages of the recording process using equalization, compression and de-essers, it is preferable that they don't appear in the first place. The immediate introduction of a thick fabric between your mic and your mouth will usually annihilate the plosives, but that will make the quality muggy. Industry standard fabric or metal fabric made in a circular frame can be clipped onto the mic stand's pole or they can be placed on top of their own mic stand. Prices for a pop filter range from about $20 to $100 depending on the material used and if you intend to purchase the pop filter's it's own stand.
