Good Wireless Headphones

[Bouke Vahl]

Wireless most of the time includes a delay. You can’t have that when editing.

Got to the audio forum and ask there about wired ones.

As Bouke says, you want wired headphones if you’re going to use them professionally.

BUT, know that headphones are terrible for audio mixing. You will rarely get a mix that sounds the same when played back on amplified speakers if you do the mix on headphones.

That’s why pros never use headphones unless they are in a situation where it’s required, such as editing in a remote location where speakers are impractical.

Thanks Bouke,

I never thought of the delay thing. Oh well. It would have been nice to be free of the wire.

Take care,
Trevor

Thanks Walter,

It’s true. Speakers are the only way to objectively get the actual audience experience sound. I’m thinking headphones because I’m entering a situation with a bunch of edit suites crammed together with thin walls.

Take care and thanks for your input.
