And now, this week's episode.
Speaker:
00:00:19
When it comes to podcast equipment,
Speaker:
00:00:25
a lot of the discussions are usually around mics
Speaker:
00:00:28
or interfaces, or software, or other tools.
Speaker:
00:00:31
But for some reason, you rarely see headphones mentioned,
Speaker:
00:00:34
and yet they're probably the most underrated piece
Speaker:
00:00:35
of equipment around.
Speaker:
00:00:37
When recording, you can hear any unwanted sounds,
Speaker:
00:00:40
noise artifacts, uneven levels, and more.
Speaker:
00:00:42
During editing, you can pick out the tiny details
Speaker:
00:00:45
you'd otherwise miss, including where the mix
Speaker:
00:00:47
might need improvement.
Speaker:
00:00:48
So I always recommend a good pair of headphones
Speaker:
00:00:50
when it comes to podcasting, and to make sure
Speaker:
00:00:52
they're monitor headphones with a neutral sound.
Speaker:
00:00:54
You don't want heavy bass from music headphones, for example.
Speaker:
00:00:57
I use the Sony MDR7506, while the Sennheiser HD200 Pros are also really good.
Speaker:
00:01:03
And I'll leave links to those in the show notes so you can check them out.
Speaker:
00:01:06
So the next time you're looking at podcasting equipment, make sure headphones are at the
Speaker:
00:01:09
top of the list.
Speaker:
00:01:11
Until the next time, happy podcasting.
Speaker:
00:01:16
Thanks for listening.
Speaker:
00:01:17
