Only thing I found those things good for was at an outdoor gig when the wind kicks up.
That's is directly their intent & why they are called wind screens. I never got where people believed these made mics sound better or made them think it will help aid in sickness prevention?
Windscreens keep the S's from hissing and the P's from popping. Since most karaoke singers don't have a clue about proper microphone techniques, it can help.
You don't need that if you have a decent mic.

The best reason to use them at karaoke is in case the microphone gets dropped. The foam can help to cushion the fall and save it from severe damage. The foam also helps keep the microphone from rolling off the tables.
I hate those spit collectors. I avoid shows which mandate them. For a deep baritone like me, they are a disaster.
