Greetings earthlings, I'm back with a headset review for you guys
So today, I'm reviewing these guys the Audio Technica BPHS1
broadcast stereo headset with
Dynamic boom microphone if you are interested in this little setup thing
It'll set you back around 200 bucks like always
I'll throw some links in the description down below and because this is an XLR and 6.3 millimeter headset
I'm running it into my 2i2 2nd gen with the input gain set at around 75%
I'm not gonna add any compression any EQ
This is just gonna be raw audio with maybe a slight boost in post which I'll mention in the doobly-doo now
Let's go ahead and talk about what you get for 200 bucks
You're obviously going to get the headset you get 2 additional foam windscreens a spare connection screw and some
documentation when it comes to the build quality you would be expecting something pretty spectacular for a $200 price tag
And it is pretty good
It's about on par with the audio technica m50x's
or m40X's the headphones have a lot of give to them so they'll fit pretty much
Anybody's head no matter how fat it is the padding on the headband is plenty soft and does not get
Uncomfortable at all the ear cups rotate on all axes to ensure they contour to your head the ear cups do have plenty of padding
however it does
Not breathe that well
and the ear cups are a bit on the small side so they do get warm and
Uncomfortable over long listening or recording sessions the point where the microphone connects to the headphones is nice and firm
So I don't feel like it will fall off and it stays exactly where I place it
So I can have this microphone set at any angle without it coming loose and losing its position the microphone also
Rotates all the way around so you can wear it on either side of your head the boom arm allows you to adjust the microphone
to any position that you want to get the sound you're looking for then as far as the cable it does have a
Proprietary connection, but given that this is such a specific use case headset that does make sense the cable is a standard rubber
But it is relatively thick and it feels very high quality
So I'm not concerned about
failure the cable measures in at 3.3 meters long and it terminates into an XLR for the microphone and a
6.3 millimeter plug for the headphones as far as the microphone specs this thing has a cardioid polar pattern a
millimeter plug for the headphones as far as the microphone specs this thing has a cardioid polar pattern a
frequency response of 40 Hertz to 20 kilohertz a sensitivity of negative
57 decibels damn that's quiet and in impedance of
560 ohms and that as far as the headphone specs these things have 40 millimeter drivers of
frequency response of 20 Hertz to 20 kilohertz and an impedance of
65 ohms and just for a reference point my buddy over on the podcast mic channel just did a review of this headset
and he mentioned that the headphones are very similar to the m30 X's so here's a quick look at the m30 X's frequency response and
7506's which I love so much
75060 chil of so much
While you were using this headset like in a broadcast
situation or in a podcast
Situation so now I'm banging on a keyboard with cherry MX blues
Which are really loud directly in front of me to demonstrate. What kind of background noise rejection this headset actually has
So does this headset sound perfect
No, but was it designed for a specific use case and do I think it would work really well in that use case absolutely
In terms of pros everything's in a single package and everything runs through a single cable
It also does a really good job at background noise rejection given that this is a small diaphragm
Dynamic cardioid microphone capsule built into a headset
I think it sounds surprisingly good, and as I already mentioned of the headphone sound pretty great to me
Comfortable I'd prefer them to the m40 or m50 X's and on that note in terms of cons the headphones just aren't that comfortable
Comfortable I'd prefer them to the m-40 or m50 X's and on that note in terms of cons the headphones just aren't that comfortable
The microphone is lacking pretty significantly in the low end and the price tag on this
Headset is pretty high for the mic quality that you're getting here now
I know that I just said that
$200 is a lot of money to pay for this headset given the microphone quality that you're getting
But I only say that because I don't want people seeing a $200 headset and thinking I can buy that headset
And it'll work perfectly on everything because it just won't the microphone ignores a lot of the lower omnidirectional
Frequencies which is where you would hear a lot of crowd noise or wind noise or cars or anything?
That's really gonna muddy up the sound and make it difficult to get vocal
Clarity to put it simply this microphone was designed to sound this way to cut down on post-processing times
So would I recommend this headset absolutely?
But it's not gonna be for everybody if you're gonna be recording in crowds or really loud environments than 100%
I recommend it if you need an all-in-one solution for a broadcast
Situation with a single cable running out of it then yes, but on the other hand if you're looking for a gaming headset
I would say look somewhere else
Because for me this headset was not comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time the microphone doesn't sound
Amazing and you can get something better for your money
all right guys well guess what wrap up this video
If you found it hellpful Thumbs up if you hated it thumbs down if you want to influence the gear that I review next geeksrising.com/postcastage
