When it comes to podcast equipment, a lot of the discussions are usually around mics or interfaces or software or other tools, but for some reason you rarely see headphones mentioned, and yet they're probably the most underrated piece of equipment around. When recording, you can hear any unwanted sounds, noise, artifacts, uneven levels, and more. During editing, you can pick out the tiny details you'd otherwise miss, including where the mix might need improvement.
So I always recommend a good pair of headphones when it comes to podcasting, and to make sure they're monitor headphones with a neutral sound. You dont want heavy bass for music headphones, for example. I use the Sony MDR7506, while the Sennheiser HD200 Pros are also really good, and I'll leave links to those in the show notes so you can check them out. So the next time you're looking at podcasting equipment, make sure your headphones are at the top of the list.
Until the next time, happy podcasting. Thanks for listening. If you enjoy One Minute Podcast Tips, be sure to share with your friends and other podcasters so they can enjoy it too. Until the next time, happy podcasting.
