I agree with John, the metal pop shields are reflective things which should not be used. The cloth or foam ones are usually more transparent. And, yes, the KMS105 grille cannot attenuate all "pops" (it is intended to be also acoustically transparent), but typically at a distance of 5 or more centimeters, and working a bit with the microphone and optimizing the technique, additional pop protection is not needed.
