Headphones

Headphones let you judge your audio and catch problems as they happen. For recording, isolation and comfort matter most.

Buying advice

Closed-back designs leak less sound into your microphone, which matters when recording.
Comfort counts. Broadcasters wear headphones for hours, so weight, padding and clamp force matter.
Prefer a detachable cable for easy replacement.

Closed-back vs open-back: Closed-back isolates and reduces bleed. Open-back sounds airier but leaks sound.
Impedance: Higher-impedance headphones may need a stronger headphone amp. Check what your interface can drive.
Cable and connector: Detachable cables and standard connectors are easier to live with.
Frequency response: Look for a reasonably neutral sound so you make accurate decisions.

Wired is the safer choice because wireless adds latency and battery concerns.
