They have a frequency range from 5 Hz to 25 kHz and come with straight and coiled cables. If you’re simply looking for the best closed-back headphones and price isn’t a factor (well, up to $500 that is), get a pair of the Shure SRH1540’s.
#Studio microphone and headphones full
The other type of headphones that are commonly used in studios are open-back headphones, which purposely allow sound to bleed because they tend to be more full and accurate-sounding – great for mixing, not so great for recording. When recording you should use closed-back headphones so that the microphone doesn’t pick up audio bleeding (sound coming from the headphones). You’ll want to use either a USB microphone with a headphone output for zero delay monitoring or use an audio interface or mixer to achieve the same zero-latency monitoring. When you’re recording a podcast, it’s important to use headphones to monitor the audio so you can listen for static, loudness and other issues.
