As a pop filter, it does work well against plosives, although be aware that when air goes through the grill, it makes a bit of a noise which can be picked up in the recording. This has been my first and only metal pop filter, so I don't know if this is an issue with this particular model or just a limitation of metal pop filters in general.
Where this product was a complete let down, however, was in build quality. Most of the time, it just won't stay in play and will just drop down. There's a very narrow sweet spot of angle and positioning where it might mostly stay in place. In addition to this problem, which was there from the beginning, within just over a year of very infrequent use, the screw at the base of it, which is meant to secure it on the mic stand, had worn through the metal clamp, rendering the whole thing unusable.
For the price, and with the stability issues it has even before the screw problem, I really can't be bothered to return it or ask for a replacement. It did its job partially for a bit, when I'd managed to get it to stay in place. Time to move on to something more expensive, and hopefully better built.
