Congratulations on finding that AT headphone / headset combo. It’s very difficult to find a headset that doesn’t sound like a call center or a pilot, and you did it. I went and searched for this video specifically because I’ve enjoyed the voice quality on your videos. on 87 vs SM7B, I think you can hear a little too much room reflection on the 87. Like you said those sound great in an expensively treated studio but they aren’t so good at rejecting reflections / room noise like the sm7b can do.
I like the cats at the end and only the first sample was bad. I'd go with the second option since it works well in your room and situation. Plus it looks professional.
I agree that the Audio-Technica BPHS1 sounds great on your voice and for speaking applications. I think the Shure 7b sounds good for podcasts and on some singers, but I had to put a lot of EQ processing on the 7b when I was singing and it did not complement my voice. I use a LEWITT MTP 350CM with windscreen which sounded good for podcasts and singing on livestream. I did have to put EQ and multi-band compression for livestream singing for when I sing in higher registers
11:33 Then you should try the BPHS2, which is based on the ATH-M60x headset and they offer it with either a cardiod condenser, or a dynamic microphone that's just a little cleaner than the BPHS1's dynamic.
I live in Denmark and unfortunately these are not that available. I like headsets with microphones because they are very comfortable, I can turn my head, move back and forth and the sound quality is 100% the same.
Aaron, I'm going to get the Audio-Technica BPHS1 as your demos have made me a believer. Which basic (but decent) EQ, or other devices do I need to go with it? Thanks!
They are great but I am now using this version: www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRQR55FK/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_HWYQM3VYXDK9HSSJG464?linkCode=ml2&tag=aaronshortm0f-20
Hey thanbks for the video. The Audio-Technica BPHS1 sounds great for the use you're describing. I'm looking for a headset for a client to record podcast content without an audio interface that they can plug and play via USB. Will this unit work like that with a mini jack to USB adapter?
I’m doing a very basic podcast with someone and we are both remote. I work in a warehouse environment and need a headset that can plug in to my computer. I’m using a gaming headset call the Steelseries Artic 7 but it really doesn’t sound good. Would the usb one you’re using now be better ?
Thanks mate I needed this video for our podcast. Would you recommend needing to plug the Audio Tecnica into a mixer or is there a way to go straight into your laptop and record through garage band and still sound good?
Hey Aaron - a video on studio monitors and headphones would be cool - " All the better to hear you " Be goodl to hear what headphones or monitors your viewers are using - T 😎 🎸 🇮🇪
I don’t agree I prefer cabled and a mute switch can be added in line if needed. Also I can’t find better. Let me know if you have something I should try.
@@aaronshortmusic in a way I could see why someone prefers a tethered headset because the mute command is more reliable... my old gaming headset had a nice manual switch that clicked when put into mute and anything that requires batteries and doesn't allow you to replace them is a piece of crap
@@aaronshortmusic how is it implemented? I like the certainty of the "click" and they dont hear anything at least that's how my old gaming headset worked
@@aaronshortmusic When people use stuff like dxRevive or other AI de-noising software - they make sound too dry. Also the low end and S sounds sound strange after the processing.

great video I came to same conclusion recently, having to stay put with an expensive mic is just so annoying, I like moving around
Yeah I love it!

Thanks! I am very happy with this headset.
Interesting stuff! I’ll listen to this a few times. Thanks Aaron.

I think the headset is the best way to go in noisy rooms. I may even try it for singing…

That does look good. Is it the new version?
U87, if you try different mics, along with a treated isolation booth , then you will find your stats will change accordingly.
Amazing mic but still needs to be used in the correct room.
I live in Denmark and unfortunately these are not that available. I like headsets with microphones because they are very comfortable, I can turn my head, move back and forth and the sound quality is 100% the same.
Exactly! Are they not available from Thomann?
Apogee HypeMic would be interesting for you to test

@@aaronshortmusic Are these still what you're currently using? I'm wanting to buy what you are using.
@@HeathSims-dz7rp Yes that new version is the headset I occasionally use.

I’m using a different Audio Technica headset now and there is a USB version of it available. amzn.to/41kxdKQ

Thanks for a good video. Which of these if any can be connected directly to a PC and smart phone?
You would need an interface unless you find one that is USB.
Awesome review! I always appreciate your videos. What specific plugins and settings are you using?
Thanks! I’ll make a separate video about that when I have it dialed in more.

It will need an audio interface. They also make a USB version that can plug straight in!
Is there an xlr plug with it?@@aaronshortmusic
@@MarkShawMedia With mine there is but there is also a version with just a USB connector.

Will do. I need to revisit the IK’s!
Nice one Aaron ...😎@@aaronshortmusic
Nice. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome!
You mentioned plugins to improve the quality but you didn't put any links or mentioned what software they can be used with.
I use a UA Apollo Twin X.
Will the Pro8hex be usable on live singing performance? Can EQ improve the tone? Anyone knows?
EQ can always improve the tone. I’m not sure I would use it live but it would work.
What microphone you using and suggesting. Description is also confusing
The description literally says which I one I use and which I did not like.
What’s your skincare routine 😮
I don’t have one!
I liked the voicing of the SM7b, but I’m kind just commenting to drive the algorithm for this channel. Sooo..What is your favorite coffee? ☕️
Starbucks espresso or amzn.to/3KAvIky
Number 2
think you were no 1 patsy :)
Can you plug into a macbook pro?
You will need an audio interface.
to be a good headset for podcasting you need a replaceable battery and a efficient mute command on a manual switch
I don’t agree I prefer cabled and a mute switch can be added in line if needed. Also I can’t find better. Let me know if you have something I should try.

@@Howleebra This doesn’t require batteries. I wouldn’t want a mute that makes a sound. I like the way they implemented the mute here.
@@aaronshortmusic how is it implemented? I like the certainty of the "click" and they dont hear anything at least that's how my old gaming headset worked
@@Howleebra Put the mic up and it mutes.
😮
Is it me, or you used too much AI processing?
No AI here.
@@aaronshortmusic My bad then, it sounds so dry.
@@AndrewMcMillenium Saying there is too much processing and then saying it sounds dry doesn’t make sense to me. What do you want it to sound like?
@@aaronshortmusic When people use stuff like dxRevive or other AI de-noising software - they make sound too dry. Also the low end and S sounds sound strange after the processing.
@@AndrewMcMillenium Ah I’m not sure. I do like to use a noise gate as it’s noisy here.
