Audio-Technica BPHS1 Broadcast Headset

The Audio-Technica BPHS1 is a broadcast stereo headset with closed-back circumaural earcups (40 mm drivers, 20 Hz-20 kHz) and a dynamic cardioid microphone on a flexible gooseneck boom. The boom can be positioned on the left or right side, and the detachable 3.3 m cable splits to a 3-pin XLR male for the mic and a 6.3 mm jack for the headphones. It weighs 264 g. It is built for on-air voices: sports and esports commentary, presenters at a desk, announcers and remote interviews. The dynamic capsule needs no phantom power and its cardioid pattern rejects off-axis crowd and PA noise, while the closed earcups let the commentator hear programme and talkback in a loud venue. Plug the XLR into a mixer or commentary unit and the jack into a headphone feed.
