Can You Buy Decent Studio Headphones for UNDER $20?!

[@thomascroft5076]

'Nowhere near as bad as I thought they'd be' - you've just written Behringer's new advertising strapline!

[@Studio31Zero]

I have these headphones and they sound great. I purchased a set of Blue headphones and just recently the DT770 Pro. The Behringer phones are 98% there. I highly recommend them.

[@mobypixel]

Great video! 3:55 is awesome, haha. It sounds to my ears like the mids are scooped and bass boosted. I'm still not sure what to make of Behringer.

[@bossmack509]

Thanks for the good info

[@57RickH]

I’m a Behringer fan, owning both an 8-channel mixer and a Behringer audio interface and they work great, no issues. I was impressed by the sound quality that came through on your comparison of the different cans you held to the mic. (Btw, what was the music you used in that demo?) 👍🏻 I might have to pick these up for kicks & giggles.

[@ericaveyandthehealing]

Nice. They’ve come down in price. I have a pair that are 15 years old and they still work great! I think they were $25 fifteen years ago! Cheers

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Oh nice! They’ve lasted you 15 years?! That’s crazy good.

[@leighgoldstein3119]

Crazy that you put headphones over the mic! They sound decent too and I am using a $ 5.00 Chinese Bluetooth mono earpiece ! LISTENING to audio reviews on You Tube.....How does it ever make sense? I always had good experiences with Behringer mixers over the years. Never knew why people always hated on them. Fun review. Good job.

[@mropeel]

I have 3 pairs in my home studio. The older ones have loosened off and the pad covering has worn off so are more comfortable. They are clear and consistent for tracking. Yes the cables are flimsy but none have broken ... yet ... I like them.

[@BulletsForTeeth5029]

Thanks for the tip on these, I've been looking for some cheap cans for niece and nephew to use when they practice their guitars. There mom won't let them practice on the 15w amp I got them, so a Y splitter and a pair of these on the headphone jack and they should be good to go! Sub'd!

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Nice one! 👍

[@RichTones]

Great find Patrick for a tight budget. Can you suggest best budget condenser microphones for speaking or vocals? (Future video idea 💡)✌️

[@sagittarius_a_starr]

Thank you for the helpful videos! I appreciate it, as a budget-tight-producer... I've learned a lot and advanced a lot watching your videos. Thank you ...now, my fury... GarageBand just ruined my week... it auto-updated this morning (I'm not sure why today) and I lost all of the tracks I had recorded using an instrument input... all my guitar and bass parts... only the midi instruments, auto-drummer, and--for some reason--vocals remain... I lost all the guitar and bass tracks that I have recorded since 2016... it was only an hour ago... I think I'm still in shock... I'll probably breakdown later...

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Whaaaaat?!

[@Elwaves2925]

Wow, that is really disastrous and I'm sorry that happened to you. Do you have any of it backed up?

[@sagittarius_a_starr]

yeah, it's nuts... I'm still sorting it out. I was too mad to investigate yesterday... guess what arrives tomorrow? the external hard-drive I ordered last week... b/c I was worried specifically about update loses now that my 2015 mac is getting dangerously old... SOLUTION: I have recovered a good number--but not all--of the audio files that were missing. In Finder, I went into my Music folder, opened my GarageBand folder, Right Clicked on the Name of the file, Clicked "Show Package Contents" then clicked the "Media" folder, then the "Audio Files" folder, and then it's a matter of taking each of the missing audio files and dragging them back into the open file on GarageBand... the trouble is, the labels were lost, so it takes some listening and figuring where the placement of each file goes... into which track and at what point in the song... ---these audio files are the raw versions of my final takes... they lost their names, their effects, their eq, their automation... the edited clips and stuff.. ---all the editing and production done to each track is still gone, but it looks like I can at least find these missing tracks and it looks like i might be able to recover without rerecording every part... i was pretty sure I was gonna rage quit garageband yesterday... finally move to ableton or reaper or fl studio or something... if I haven't rage-quit EU4 yet, then I'm obviously coming back for more punishment... this isn't the first time an Apple update has done something like this to me: August 2019, the morning of a second date with a new girlfriend, my iPhone7 auto-updates and suddenly, my phone will no longer recognise my wireless carrier--just a small carrier called Verizon. It would no longer connect to my wireless network and forced me to buy an iPhone11...

[@sagittarius_a_starr]

Also for headphones I bought the Sennheiser x MASSDROP 6XX (which is the massdrop edition of the sennheiser 650...) it costs only $240 of the 650's $400... But a lot of my friends don't want to spend even that for headphones, so I'll be happy to show them these... maybe they'll stop reviewing my tracks through computer speakers...

[@Elwaves2925]

@@sagittarius_a_starr That's something at least and it's better than nothing. As much of a pain in the arse as it will be, recreating the production will be easier than having to recreate all the audio from scratch. Good luck with it and maybe it'll turn out even better this time. Silver linings and all that. 🙂

[@heroknaderi]

Good information 😊

[@repsossa]

Friend, which is the most economical semi-open hearing aid that you recommend; I'm going to use it for many hours (Work, KZbin music, mixing and mastering). Currently I have some very old Takstar TS-457 semi-open but they work very well and it is time to replace them. I recently bought some highly recommended Sony MDR-Zx310AP on youtube but they don't sound better than the old takstar because despite the neodymium they mask certain frequencies and make it lose sharpness. For recording and mixing I use a closed takstar HD-2000 which sounds amazing but tires faster, that's why I need the open or semi-open ones. Thank you.

[@stevenfitzsimmons3840]

I got a set. They are ok for the job. If you are a sound boffin then maybe no. Tracking is no problem. Mixing ….. not bad. 👍🏻

[@petergedd9330]

My Behringer interface U-Phoria UMC202 HD has been faithful and rock solid for over 8 years, damn good bang for the buck.

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

I hear good things about the UMC202 👍

[@makingtechfriendlyindia]

Years of UK TV shows made me sped up this video. Wouldn't have dreamed of this years ago with this accent.

[@mwhite212]

Would these work as basic monitoring headphones for mainly recording voice audio during a film shoot?

[@charlestackett7137]

Thanks. I bought a pair used, and I liked the HPS3000.

[@by_antony]

for a similar price (£20), I bought the Behringer BH-470, but I don't use them in the studio. Would love to know your thoughts on these.

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

I’m not familiar with them - let me check them out!

[@patchfile]

I could listen to you review products all day.

[@GaryR55]

I have two pair of basic Sony headphones that cost me about $9.95 on Amazon. They work, just like Sony designed and built them to do.

[@HaruSkage]

How is it that I first saw these headphones in a RecordingRevolution video from a few years ago, searched for them on Sweetwater, yesterday and now this video is up. The timing... what a coincidence or perhaps.... coOkies + algorithm?! Hmm..

[@HaruSkage]

Algorithms are getting smarter but I nevertheless appreciate this channel's content, and useful review.

[@ENGLISHISBEST]

I have given 5 x dearer ones than that away towards my grandkids along with amps, decks & speakers. Not bad for the price of a mcdonalds for 2 but street cred would suffer.

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Absolutely!

[@GaryR55]

Liked the headphones test. Frankly, I couldn't tell the difference between any of them, but I liked the Sonys best.

[@ma1nsun]

I used these headphones in the 00s under the Chinese brand Dialog, Behringer are completely crazy, this is the generic ultra-cheap crap

[@Elwaves2925]

I'll pass. Seems okay if you're on a really tight budget or just for basic needs. I'll stick to my nice set of Sony headphones I 'bailiffed' off my mum. Cheers for the video.

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Yeah they’re not great as a ‘main’ pair of headphones. Good as an inexpensive backup or extra pair though. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@dafingaz]

Behringer definitely get a bad rap. Maybe the worst rap in the industry. But...if the price fits. LOL

[@GaryR55]

What's with the video bombs from "woke" leftist activists?! I subscribe to your channel for music-related content about Garageband. I can get all the politcal crap I want to elsewhere.

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

…what?

[@GaryR55]

@@TheGaragebandGuide You haven't noticed that some jerk inserted a clip about Behringer posting cartoons about "jews," with some sniveling kid complaining about it? I had to watch twice to make sure it was really there, but it was. Hmmm....and, no sooner do I mention it, than it's now gone. It was just seconds after your first mention of Behringer. Frankly, I doubt the accusation and suspect the person who made it, not Behringer. The asshole was trying to imply that Behringer is somehow "anti-semitic."

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

@@GaryR55 That was me, I’m the ‘jerk’ who edited in the clip where Benn Jordan (who’s a 43 year old man btw) mentions Behringer’s borderline anti semitic swipe at CDM’s editor Peter Kirn. I fail to see how either of the dudes in the clips I used in this video are in any way ‘woke’ (ew) or ‘leftist activists’.

[@thetubekrawler2876]

Go away Gary, normal people dislike your kind.
