スポンジのウィンドスクリーン/風防
マイクカバーというのも確かに同じものをさすのに使われるようですが、ウィンドスクリーンというのが一番一般的、的確だと思います。カバーといえば雨よけのようにマイクを覆ってしまうもののように聞こえます。ただウィンドスクリーンの方は何のことなのかわからない言葉でもありますが。風防が一番適切な表現のようですが、マイクのような商品には硬すぎてあまり使われないと思います。

Comment: "Thank you, Kathyさん and Yukiさん. It looks like both answers are commonly used terms for it. But I will go with "一般的、的確だけど訳の分からない言葉”. I am sorry for that I cannot choose two answers.
