Description

Most pop filters trade pop protection for a coloration tax on your sound — the Hakan P110 Pop Killer doesn’t make you pay it. Built by Swedish mic specialist mikrofonen.se, this gooseneck filter is engineered from the ground up to stop plosives cold while leaving your microphone’s frequency response untouched.

The secret is in the foam. Rather than using generic material, mikrofonen.se selected a hydrophobic foam disk that resists absorbing moisture from your breath. That matters because damp foam is a major source of the muffled, colored sound typical of cheaper pop filters — once moisture soaks in, it stays there and warps the tone over time. Because the P110’s foam repels water, it stays consistent session after session, and it’s easy to rinse clean with ordinary detergent, drying quickly thanks to that same hydrophobic property.

The support structure matters too. Many pop filters use a bulky frame that creates its own diffraction artifacts, subtly altering what your mic picks up. The P110’s wire holder is minimal and effectively invisible to the audio path, so there’s nothing extra between your voice and your capsule.

mikrofonen.se backed this up with real measurements: standard pop filters showed a clearly visible coloration curve, while the P110 measured flat by comparison — no added character, just clean plosive control.
