RECOMMENDED HEADPHONES

1. Audio Technica ATH M20x

The Audio Technica ATH M20x headphones are a great low-budget pair of headphones. The value of all Audio Technica headphones is very hard to pass up at any price point. The isolation and comfort that the earcups offer aid in mixing the mic levels.

Depending on your preference, you may not need to spend more than $50 on headphones. These are great headphones for making sure your audio is clear and understandable.

• Excellent sound isolation for mixing in any environment
• Comfortable & durable design
• Clear audio delivery

Review:

Amazing sound quality at a very reasonable price. They seem well-built as well. The plastic of the headphones is tough and premium, but also reasonable light. Likewise, the cord seems planted in the headphones really well, so simply yanking on the cord a few times definitely won’t ruin these things, whereas on those really cheap headphones, drop them, yank them just a few times, and they’re pretty much dead. Not these.

On SOUND, remember that these are “professional/monitor” style headphones. They offer a very “true” sound. Quality highs, mids, and lows. The Audio-Technica M20x’s hit WELL above their weight class for audio quality and is built tough to match. If you’re looking for a serious audio upgrade for a very reasonable price, this may just be the ticket!

2. Sennheiser HD 598 Cs

Sennheiser HD 598 Cs headphones are very good isolating headphones. The closed back helps to shut out the room noise while checking audio levels. The construction of these headphones is sturdy and comfortable. The cushion on the overhead band and the earcups is very soft but fully supported and adds to the isolation well.

Sennheiser is known for great audio quality in all their products, so you can’t go wrong in choosing these headphones. You will be able to hear your audio levels clearly to make sure everything sounds balanced for your deposition videos.

• Closed back for sound isolation
• Comfortable & durable design
• Two cable options for versatility

Review:

Very well worth the money. Great sounding. I am sure there are better, but for the price I really don’t think these can be beat. These are the most comfortable over-ear headphones I’ve ever owned. They are light and snug, yet just snug enough to not pinch on temples or put pressure on any part of your head.

Well worth the money. Sound is great. Comfortableness is amazing.

3. Audio Technica ATH M70x

Another good option from Audio Technica is the ATH M70x headphones. These headphones take the audio quality of the M20x model and turn it up to the highest degree. The closed back and sturdy cushion gives them great isolation and clarity. The cushion around the ears is very comfortable as well.

As with all Audio Technica products, these headphones are a great value in this price range. You will be able to mix your audio with ease while using this pair of headphones.

• Crafted for lasting durability
• Closed back for sound isolation
• Comfortable for long periods of wear

Review:

Comfortable for hours, even with my glasses on. The cushions seal external sound well, and prevent sound leakage quite well. The headband is comfortable, and the earpieces turn to accommodate different head shapes or to be worn open around the neck.
