Better Broadcast

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.

Specifications to understand

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.
