If so why are they not as popular as the reg ones??

Is a BMW worth the money. Some might say yes. To those who do, is the appropriate question "Why arent they more popular". I would respond "Because they cost more".
Or, in audio speak -
Is the Ibis or Martech or Aurora or on and on worth the money? Some might say yes. Then why arent they more popular? Because they are more than a couple bills.
I think for most hobbyists purposes - the stedmans arent necessary. I think most people will be just fine with a nylon screen. Is the Stedman/Royer worth it for you? This is a question you must answer.
Was the Stedman worth it for me - Id say overall its a good piece. I wouldnt say it is the turning point of my setup though.

IMHO, the metal pop filters are worth the money, because the metal screen doesn't attenuate the high frequencies as much as the fabric screens do. The metal screens retain some of the openness and "air" that you'll lose with a fabric pop filter.

they also diffract the airstream away from the microphone. The nylon ones also get smelly overtime (spittle from vocals) The metal ones are really easy to warsh.

Is that the Stedman? It sure looks like it, but it doesn't say anywhere what brand...

Stedman makes the Royers, I wouldn't be surprised if they make them for SE as well.
The ability to wash them is a big point...if you have a lot of people come through, you've already spent more on the nylon one the first time you replace it.
It's pretty easy to tell that the nylon ones block more sound than the metal ones...close your eyes and talk or sing or hum or whatever you feel comfortable with. Move the pop filter in front of your mouth. You'll hear the sound reflected off of the nylon one, and you won't with the metal one.

i'd contact the guys at stedman before saying they make the se. i do know they are concerned about chinese knockoffs so this could be one given that se is a chinese mic company.

The Stedman Pop filter is well worth the money. I started out buying
some $20 pop filters from Mars Music. After a few months, the
goosenecks started to wear out, and wouldn't stay in position.
Later, I bought a heavy duty nylon unit that has held up well, but it
puts a lot of extra weight on the end of the mic boom. The Stedman
weighs much less, but is equally rugged, and you don't have to
replace the nylon.

well, stedman invented this item only recently. if you don't get what's wrong there. i'm sorry you paid $59 but you apparently paid list and that's your problem. the street price on the usa made stedman is around $43.

aslo, you can wash the Stedman, so when you record a singer who's on the Whiskey and Cigarette diet, you can wash the foul residue off.
