How do you pick headphones that are right for you in an absolute sea of choices? In this episode, I’m going to fill you in on the different types of headphones you can use when recording your podcast. We’ll explore the benefits and limitations of each type and I’ll share with you what I’m using and why it works for me. But do you even need to wear headphones? If you’re recording by yourself in a quiet room, you actually don’t need to have headphones on when you’re recording BUT if you want to monitor and hear what your microphone is picking up, you should definitely throw a pair on. In fact, in most situations, it’s preferable to wear headphones. I’ll run you through the benefits and limitations of earbuds (both wired and wireless) and overhead headphones. I’m currently using Rode NTH-100 Headphones and they’re super comfortable, not too heavy and are wired. I have to wear headphones for hours and hours of editing podcasts and often find different brands can become really uncomfortable and start to hurt my head and ears. The frequency response is also a true indication of the sound which is so important because I need to know how it actually sounds to everyone before I do any editing. I’m giving away a FREE pair of the Rode NTH-100 headphones!
