I'd give a perfect score if the thing had feet for sitting it on a desktop; it seems built only to mount on a mic stand. Of course you could sit it on whatever you wanted, but it's likely to scratch since it has no feet or any obvious place to put pads. I set it up using the Monoprice gooseneck mic stand with a Blue Snowball ICE USB mic. A little tricky to get the balance just right, but I figured it out. Monitoring in Audacity, it looks like this shield takes normal background noise from about -35db to -45db. Very approximate, but it's a noticeable difference. I wasn't sure if I had all the necessary parts for setup, but once I disassembled the mic attachment I got it sorted -- the manual isn't great. My whole setup is very ad hoc; I had to throw it together when COVID-19 meant I'd be producing a podcast for work from home instead of the slightly soundproofed room we made at the office. If you're in that kind of situation, I recommend this isolation shield. Pair it with a sturdy mic stand (and something soft like a blanket behind you) and you're set.

Product far exceeded expectations: I use it to record from my home office during the pandemic, short daily radio programs and news broadcasts which are saved to MP3. Response from station technical manager, "Absolutely! Great purchase :) I noticed something was different when I pulled it up! Very nice and clear, and definitely added more bass to your voice. Sounding really great Ben".
