Can you link to the earpads you used? I would like some new ones for my BPHS-1 because I agree, they suck.

I've used these for streaming and gaming for over a year love them. Great review.
Thanks for watching!
stop blocking your microphone with a face
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Thanks! Great review. I just purchased a BPHS-1 (and replacement ear pads) so that I could jump onto away hockey broadcasts when travelling with my team; as long as the home broadcaster has an open mic spot on the mixer ( I also carry a headphone splitter), I'm golden. I've always loved this model, there's real value in the AT headset mic (it has a great mic, it's remarkably durable and the cord which gets constantly tugged and stepped upon is easily replaced). Ironically, for my podcast, I just purchased a EV RE20 microphone (I'm in heaven) as shown in the video so this presentation was doubly helpful.
Thinking of getting this for my daughters music class. Can you turn the microphone off/on?
Thanks
If you were too upgrade from the Audio Technica BPHS1 what would you do buy the BPHS2 or go with a Sennheiser broadcast headset? :) I'm looking into getting Sennheiser HMDC 27 it's £449 a lot of money but I think the microphone mite be just as good if not better and the headset itself sounds better :)
My complaint about the Audio Technica BPHS1 I purchased a while back is that mine makes a lot of noise. The frame is plastic and makes noise for every little movement even when the jaw moves to talk. It's annoying enough that I never ended up being able to rely on it. I'm curious to find out if others were ever confronted by this issue.
We need a 1080p60fps usb camera guide for streaming. I have a Brio but it does not seem to cut it for me, not sure if I have a bad specific camera or Brio is just bad for 1080p60
If you want to pick up one of the expensive Sennheiser broadcast headsets, be advised: These tend to come with unterminated cables, meaning you are expected to attach your own plugs.
oh joy. alright. thanks!
Good to know
You made it sound worse with that processing haha. Cut the HF, boost the lows, maybe dip the high mids at 1.5-2kHz by 6db
Thanks for the idea with replacement pads. Which model of Brainwavz did you use as a replacement? Couldn't find fitting BPHS1 in their descriptions.
I think any of their oval pads will work. I went with their pads with the cooling gel in them, the velour pads are great as well.
Thanks for great review. How well do these work connected to a computer and what kind of adapter is needed? They were recommended to me by a gamer/musician/teacher for online teaching. Lots of teachers (especially second language) right now trying to make themselves intelligible over Zoom, so would be great to hear from a sound expert like yourself.
You would need need an audio interface with XLR inputs that connects to the computer via usb, the Podtrak P4 is a good one
I had bought a pair of these before I really knew what I was doing audio-wise, and really didn't like how they sounded at all, so I returned them. At the time the price was pretty steep for me as well. Good review, though I gotta say, I preferred the unprocessed audio over the 286s processed audio (and I know you said the 286s was setup for your RE20) - just made you sound more hollow. Thanks for doing the review, though; I think if I ever have a need for a gaming headset, I'd definitely reconsider these or the Sennheisers as you mentioned - little bit $$$ though. :) Ah, one question for you - the audio during your narrative portion of the video (where it wasn't visible at all) - was that an under-the-shirt lav mic or something else? Did you have to do much post on it? Just sounded really great, nice and clear, and very natural looking not seeing any hardware at all (no cans or mic). Thanks!
It sounded very good when I had the 286s tuned for it, just couldn't go back and do that in time for this review right now.
It's the Sennheiser MKH-416 I reviewed a while back
Nice! After posting, I wondered if it might be a shotgun mic. I love my 416 as well. :)
I also use a broadcast headset from time to time and most people can't even tell the difference between my main microphone and the headset. Mine is a Beyerdynamic dt797 PV.
I looked at these 2 years ago wondering if i should just get the all in one package headset, good to know the pros and cons now tho. I wonder how this stacks up to the gaming audio technica line up?
Why not to use shotgun microphone? It can stay just out of the frame so you can't see it at all and the sound quality is amazing!
because in broadcasts they move their heads around a lot
How long can you wear them until they get uncomfortabel?
Anna Gladka 40 minute is my maximum
If that's your normal voice. U have a fantastic voice. Haha. Proper video.
5:39 for mic test
Thx
wonder how they compare to DT 109
so i bought this headset and only got the phantom thing. would you recommend using a mixer for this? behringer um2 for example?
UM2 is an interface, not a mixer, but would be great!
Audio Technica headset, sennheiser- wirless mic systems, Sure wire mics, the Sound devices as a recorder mixer this is my top list after my experience but I'm not sound expert just regular indie videographer
Nice! I'm guessing this was in your old apartment again? I'm guessing your finally getting back to your old videos like you mentioned in your AskEpos episode?
Indeed. When I'm unable to shoot/edit new stuff, I edit the backlog :)
EposVox Well, you found what works to keep you motivated! I've gotten motivation like that too when I couldn't motivate myself and edited a video I realized I forgot to edit about 6 months ago! That's great that you've gotten back to some of your old stuff!
What would be the cheapest stand alone microphone you would recommend for meetings at work, as well as recording and providing live presentations via Microsoft Teams and Webex?
Hello. Silly question. Can I use this mic without a mixer? Like, Can I just directly plug it in the back of my PC?
Great video, by the way.
No, the mic needs an interface or mixer of some kind to work.
EposVox Thanks. Would love to get these but if I add a mixer in there, it'll definitely be out of my price range.
Given the size of the input jack, do I need an audio interface to use these headset? Or can I just settle with an adapter for 3,5 jack input?
I can’t wait for the BPHS2 to come out soon :)
The cat😂😂🐈❤️ 3:22
Maybe a middle ground, between better sound quality and a good mic, since you talked about Sennheiser, would be their gaming line, PC373D and/or Game Zero, Game One etc series. I personally have PC363D but I use them without the included USB tiny sound card, more like I would use PC350SE, and they sound pretty good. I have the 595/598 HD but since I need too often a mic, I end up using PC363D as a "daily drivers", even if in some ways HD598 sound better, larger, more precise. If you have Massdrop, PC37X is even cheaper than the regular PC373D . Of course, there is always the Mod Mic, option.
fantastic video, great review, you have a good radio voice!
Great video and review. I also loved the kitty, who came in and said "oh, you're doing that...I'lllll come back." :)
:)
I’m curious why not just use a lab mic instead?
Orded three for wok a few weeks ago. Glad you approve
Personally I think the mic and the headset itself is absolutely amazing. But I don’t think it’s really worth 200 dollars. I could get lots of other microphone bundles. But hey whatever you decide, it’s your choice.
It's 300 minimum now, thanks to scalpers sadly
My problem with it is that for 200 dollars you can get a really, really solid dynamic mic. And everyone has headphones anyway at this point. For 200 dollars, to me, this just sounds way too much like it has some sort of "digital" filter over the whole thing. Meanwhile I spent maybe 50-100 dollars more to get a standard SM58 setup on my PC and it sounds at least 50x better than this. Like this doesn't even sound as good as some 20 dollar gaming headsets I've personally tried out.
How does the mic sound compared to the mod mic
Thanks for the review. I just wish someone would make this into a bluetooth setup. I’d imagine that someone could easily cobble together a dynamic mic and a set of headphones, add an 18650 lithium battery powered bluetooth setup.
Then I can work from outdoor cafes or stream from them as well during my remote work.
People would buy these headsets in hundreds of thousands quantity.
Couldn't you use an 2.5 or xlr extension? Granted that would add noise issues possibly...
Yeah you can use a XLR or 1/4" extender.
Considering the target audience I'm assuming they assume you already have one. Still stupid they would seal the cable like that.
Can I use this without external audio interface?
No
Have you tried Shure BRH440M?
Can you do a video with the updated ndi for obs? Idk if i need a switch with my router for it to work properly.. i have 400 download and 20 upload and both pcs are connected with cat 7 ethernet
i think ill use this headset for vr streaming
Sennheiser has one cheap-ish broadcast headset, the HMD-300 pro, which I wanna see review on
The aspect ratio scared the shit out of me for some reason. GG
2:1 is the best
What microphone are you using in this video?
wow I was actually thinking about this topic yesterday - and started messing with my yeti and plugins to take it away from the view but keep the good sound quality and remove noise... uff any ideas?
Unless you live in a silent chamber, that's not how microphones work
wow wish I can get one T.T but id rather get an elgato with that headphones aren't a must for me
I think these kinds of headsets have a place but I would be really interested how they stack up against a pair of normal cans, like Fostex T50RP MK3, paired with a modmic.
Well given that literally any good pair of headphones are better than these, specifying that isn't necessary xD
I was more thinking about the microphone to be honest. Since that is what makes a pair of headphones into a headset, that has to be the point of comparison. If a modmic can get close, that combination automatically wins, like you said.
What do think? Mic shootout? Out of box and with your DBX?
I had an extra microphone from piano and I really like to sing.
I'd definitely use this in a noisy environment. Sennheiser's I cannot afford.
I knew you was my dad. Always telling me what to do.
LOL
The BPHS2 is coming out any day now. :-)
Wait, really? o_O
Maybe I can get them to send me some :)
what game is that
Nioh
Yet you seem to be using the mic off axis and reasonably far from your mouth. I use mine a lot closer.
Otherwise I get bad plosives. This is how I see that compensated for during sports broadcasts
@@EposVox OK. I guess I place mine not in front of my mouth to try to reduce it.
I really enjoy your videos but sometimes when going to face cam the audio seems just the slightest out of sync and its bothersome xd. If I did this in a class for varsity I would lose so many points
I would mix that mic so much better bruh. People with Logitech Pro X have better sound after processing
this would work great in a call center
+EposVox
I got myself the Beyerdynamic MMX 300(v2), still looking for a proper preamp.
Mayflower ARC Gaming Amplifier & DAC is a good one, but i am wondering if anything better came out.
I have audio technica ath-ag1x and it was overpriced tbh it's good but not as good as I expected it to be
As soon as you put the headset on it sounded awful. The multi effects unit then made it sound worse. I was about to buy one for a project but not any more.
His mic settings usually sound off to me no matter what mic he uses.
THE CAT :)
Those pads are designed for sound quality.
I've tried the brainwavz pads with my ATH-M50xs and they COMPLETELY destroy the sound.
I actually started wearing a hand towel between my head and the headphones lol.
I really don't see the point of these when you can get ATH-M50xs and a mic on an arm.
The mic on these sounds like absolute ass, I don't get what you hear in it.
Nothing about the listening experience of these headphones are "designed for sound quality" so that doesn't even begin to make sense.
Hi
HAI
I’m getting these because air pods gave me an ear infection, my ears apparently can’t use them. Over the ear headset/mic only. I can’t believe how clear the raw audio was.
Uh oh, you've been kicking your cans all over the place...
It sounds like s*** when compared to the amazing mic you used for making this video. Listening here on big studio loudspeakers and nice headphones.
