(upbeat music) I'm Danny Brown, and you're listening to One Minute Podcast Tips, the show that helps you be a better podcaster in just a minute a week. If you want more specific tips just for you in your podcast, check out the Magic Mic membership at oneminutepodcasttips.com/support. And now, this week's episode. 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 don't want heavy bass from 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 headphones are at the top of the list. Until the next time, happy podcasting. Thanks for listening.
