Audio Technica BPHS1

We think this headset is one of the best bargains in broadcasting. But don't just take our word for it, here's what some of your fellow broadcasters are saying:

“Excellent sounding microphone, and good sealed-back headphones make this a great choice for a live broadcast situation. We use these for football, but these would be good for any radio situation.”

“Exactly what I needed for my use in (the) WHBU studio.”

“Clear sound, fairly light weight, and though the mic does pick up a bit of background noise, that's actually desirable at a sports broadcast…. Definitely recommended….”

The Audio-Technica BPHS1 broadcast headset is a rugged stereo headset created especially for on-air news and sports broadcasting, announcing and interviews. It offers natural, highly intelligible and focused vocal reproduction, closed-back circumaural (around-the-ear) ear cups to seal out background noise, and a high-output dynamic microphone mounted on a flexible gooseneck boom.

The headset's microphone has a cardioid polar pattern tailored for pickup of speech with maximum voice intelligibility over a wide range of frequencies. It is more sensitive to sound originating directly in front of the element, making it useful in reducing pickup of unwanted sounds. The flexible gooseneck boom swivels for easy positioning on either the right or left side.
