Audio Technica BPHS1 Over-Ear Broadcast Stereo Headphones Headset w/boom Mic

The Audio-Technica BPHS1 is a broadcast headset that puts a cardioid dynamic microphone and closed-back stereo monitoring in one piece of gear. It was built for on-air news and sports work, announcing, and interviews, where the announcer has to be heard clearly over a loud room and still hear the program feed.

The boom microphone uses a cardioid pattern and a frequency response shaped for speech, so voices come through natural and intelligible while crowd noise arriving from the sides and rear drops back. Neodymium magnets in both the microphone and the 40 mm headphone drivers give high output and detailed reproduction, and the closed-back circumaural ear cups seal around the ears to keep stadium noise out of the monitor mix.

The flexible gooseneck boom swivels front to back, so the microphone can sit on the left or right side depending on how you work or where your co-host is seated. Positioning holds once you set it. An adjustable cushioned headband and light overall weight of 9.3 oz keep the headset comfortable through a full game or a long broadcast shift.

Serviceability is part of the design. The BPCB1 cable detaches and the ear pads are user-replaceable, so normal wear does not take the headset out of rotation. The 3.3 m (10.8') cable terminates in a 3-pin XLRM-type connector for the microphone and a 1/4" three-conductor plug for the headphones, which drops straight into a broadcast console, a field mixer, or a camera channel. Three windscreens and a spare connector screw are included.
