Show Notes

2022.06.06 – 0522 – Microphone Headsets

Some radio presenters as well as podcasters and YouTubers use microphone headsets in which the mic is incorporated into the headphones, similar to the ones you might imagine an air traffic controller wearing. The mics on these are obviously smaller than a desk mic, but shop around and you can find good quality ones. The advantage is that you are never off-mic and you don’t bend your head to speak into mic on a desk stand. Also, it means that you can gesture without the worry of knocking a microphone. The disadvantages are that popping is more likely as the mic is so near your mouth, and you can look a little ‘unusual’… (What is ‘popping’? We’ll come to that in a bit…)
