2-Pack Blue Yeti Windscreen & Dead Cat Foam Mic Covers
Product description
What you get: a two-piece set consisting of a synthetic-fur windscreen (often called a dead cat) and a dense foam wind muff. The pair is designed to be slipped over the microphone capsule and held in place by an elasticated opening sized for Blue Yeti and Yeti Pro style condenser capsules.
Materials and build: the furry cover is made from artificial fur designed to break up gusts and breath noise, while the inner cover is a resilient, closed-cell style foam that tames plosives and reduces high-frequency hiss. Both pieces are lightweight and won’t add significant bulk to the mic.
Compatibility and fit: specifically intended for Blue Yeti and Yeti Pro condenser microphones, they also fit many other USB condenser models with similar capsule diameters. The elastic rim stretches to accommodate the mic head and stays put during normal handling, though fit can vary slightly with nonstandard capsules.
Protection and performance: these covers protect the microphone from dust and moisture while lowering wind noise, breath pops, and unwanted ambient interference. The foam smooths vocal sibilance and plosives; the fur excels at stopping direct air blasts for outdoor or breathy recordings.
Uses: ideal for podcasting, live streaming, voice calls, YouTube videos, music recording, and ASMR work. They’re easy to install and remove for cleaning, and they provide an inexpensive way to improve on-mic audio without changing mic placement or settings.
Pros
- Reduces wind noise and plosives effectively
- Includes both foam and furry covers in one kit
- Lightweight and easy to install
Cons
- Fit can be loose on some nonstandard capsules
- Furry cover may shed slightly at first
- Not a permanent replacement for a professional shockmount or pop screen
VerdictA simple, affordable upgrade for Blue Yeti-style mics that noticeably reduces wind and plosive noise while protecting the capsule. The foam and furry covers fit securely, are durable in regular use, and work well for streaming, podcasting, ASMR, and general recording. A few users report a slightly loose fit on some units or initial shedding from the fur, but overall this pair delivers clear, clean

Chris Brown 3/5
Too loose on my unit
It felt very loose on the mic I tried it on; I had to pull it down far to get a grip.

Attractive and functional
Neat appearance and does the job well.

Mike dane 5/5
Nearly zero wind interference
Performs as advertised; noticeably cuts wind noise. Slightly larger than I imagined but functions well.

Perfect for ASMR
Works wonderfully for my ASMR recordings — easy to use and effective.
-
Antonio Cabrera 5/5
Adjustment rim could be more flexible
Material matches the description and quality is fine, but the elastic is quite tight. A useful accessory that seems built to last.

Small upgrade, clear audio change
Used for a few weeks while podcasting and streaming; now a permanent part of my setup. It calms plosives and wind that the mic otherwise picks up. Construction exceeded my expectations for the cost, the foam feels dense, and it stays in place on my stand. A low-cost add-on that genuinely improves sound.

Durable, effective pop solution
Used this set for years on a Blue Yeti and noticed a big difference in clarity. It controls sibilance, plosives, and background hiss. Durable for everyday use until heavy wear showed; simple to put on and remove, and it doesn’t alter the mic’s look. I sometimes layer filters, but alone it already improves recordings noticeably.

Solid product
Good product.

Good fit and performance
Both covers slide on my Yeti without trouble. I prefer the furry wind muff to the flat pop filter — it softens harsh consonants and airflow. Color and weight are good, they grip firmly, and the fur sheds a little at first but becomes denser after a short time.

More versatile than expected
Bought for ASMR textures — the fluffy cover and the foam both worked great for scratching and soft sounds. They fit snugly. They also slipped onto a Movo UM800 (even a bit better than on the Yeti). Foam smooths hiss and plosives; the fur blocks strong breaths. Have used this set for over a year and would buy again if they wear out.

Very disappointing — not as shown
Does not match the listing for Blue Yeti; far too large and not like the photo. Poor quality and misleading.

Fits Blue Yeti snugly
Snug fit on my Blue Yeti — no issues.

Fits Samson G-Track Pro nicely
Used over a Samson G-Track Pro and it fit the capsule perfectly. That mic usually ships without a foam cover, so this set was a great match and works well.
