My thoughts exactly ...

[Simp-Dawg]

the price is heftier too!  

[Chuck]

I'm not sure I'd shell out $100 for 2 of them.

[Brian Skalinder]

Looks a lot like the Shure A81WS - inner less dense core, outer more dense shell.  Why not go with the Shure's for ~$60/pr?

[silentmark]

Whoa ! I thought that price was for a pair, I might have to ask Talyor what the deal is ...

No way I could spend $100 on foam. Thats a crazy mark up. Btw taylor is a good guy

[jpschust]

you would if you had LD mics

[hoobash]

I have LD Mics but the tl's come with windsreens. There is something very wrong with charging $100 for foam. Basiclly everything in the "pro audio" world has a crazy mark up

yeah can someone explain this? why is foam more expensive than weed? Are pot dealers in the wrong market?

Cool... Sound Room has an improved web site.  Been a while since I've looked there.  
Bought mics from them in March.  Good company.  They have time to talk to you before you buy.

$40/piece for the u89 windscreens... that's not too expensive at all.

[Brian Skalinder]

To those questioning the "high" cost of windscreens: try making your own and then think again about whether $40-80/pair is an unreasonably high price.  You always have the option to make your own, use socks, etc.  But there's a reason most people don't.

[hoobash]

They reason they cost so much is becuase the mark up for all pro audio is crazy out of control. I doubt highly if it cost them more then a couple of $$$ to make those windscreens.
