  • if you don't have the Rode mic this was designed for don't waste your money

Reviews around breeze (5.00 of 5)

  • Great for camera mounted mic scenarios when indoors, and when outdoors on days with gentle breezes.
  • Wind noise is eliminated in nearly all circumstances, probably not under gale force winds, but steady breezes are eliminated really well
  • In high winds or gentle breezes, the risk of getting any wind noise is virtually eliminated with these

Reviews around price (3.34 of 5)

  • While the product arrived quickly and it was very well priced, it really wasn't meant for the Zoom recorder
  • My only complaint is that this product is a little on the expensive side, and you can definitely find other products on Amazon that offer nearly as good wind screening with much, much cheaper prices.
  • Overall, definitely worth the 'price of admission' to use this on nearly all recording sessions or occasions even if you're inside (because it can get rid of some background noise
  • I broke down and spent the money on this over priced dead cat.
