Sound for Video Session: Mixing Headphones - 5 Headphones Compared

If you're interested in learning how to record and post process dialogue sound for video, please look at my courses available at http://school.learnlightandsound.com

In this week's Sound for Video Session, we compare 6 sets of headphones for mixing film and video projects (plus a bonus set that almost nobody can afford, just for fun). We also cover why using headphones alone is not ideal and can make mixing a frustrating experience. We also underscore the importance of reviewing your mixes on lots of different playback systems: Near field monitors, hifi system, car sound system, smartphone earbuds, TV, etc.
