Some are simple foam caps that are placed over the head of the mic though others might be attached a small length away from the mic being used to record the sound. In all cases the pop filter will reduce undesirable effects while preserving as much of the source material as attainable. It is constantly suggested that you use some form of pop filter otherwise the unnecessary outcomes cannot be fixed later in post production with compressors or an equalizer.
