Don't Use the Wrong Headphones for Audio Production
Bluetooth headphones and music headphones like Beats or AirPods feel convenient. No cables. No snags. No accidental coffee slingshot. The problem is that they’re not built for recording or postproduction, and they can quietly wreck your workflow.
LATENCY
Bluetooth can cause latency between your voice and what you hear. It doesn’t seem like much until you start talking over your guest or second guessing your own timing.
SOUND DROPPING OUT
Bluetooth is sensitive to interference from routers, phones, and even your own movement. You may end up hearing tiny pops or dropouts that make you think your recording is glitching when it’s actually fine.
MUSIC HEADPHONES
Bluetooth codecs and tuning on Beats or AirPods boost certain frequencies. That makes it harder to judge EQ, noise reduction, or mouth clicks. Basically, those styles of headphones can make things sound better than they are, or worse, completely mask bad audio. While this is definitely important during recording, it's absolutely crucial during post that you hear raw audio.
NOW WHAT?
Use wired studio headphones when you record or edit. They give you accurate monitoring and consistent timing so your edits translate everywhere. If you want help choosing the right pair. There are some really good Black Friday deals going on, so you can pick up some high-quality studio headphones at reduced prices. I’ll be happy to point you to options that fit your budget and workflow.
