Podcast Headphones

Sennheiser HD280 Pros are a global standard for audio monitoring. They offer great ambient noise reduction and have one of the highest sensitivities among monitor headphones (they can be very loud). They sound great, feel good, and offer excellent capabilities. They are built to last and have very accessible and easy to replace parts.

Audio Technica ATH-M50x

The Audio Technica ATH-M50x is typically referred to as the best bang for your buck on-ear headphone set. Though it’s not wireless — you can purchase a Bluetooth adapter — the headphones come with three detachable cables and the headphones themselves collapse for easy mobility. It is also adjustable, since you can rotate the earpieces up to 90º and leave them flat. They have a maximum input power up to 1600mW and can produce frequencies ranging from 5-28,000 Hz.

Bose QuietComfort 35 Series 2 (QC35)

I dare you to find an owner of the Bose QuietComfort 35 headphones and get them to say a bad thing about them. I dare you! Asking headphone owners if they’d buy the headphones again is a great barometer for headphone satisfaction. The Bose QC35 headphones are ideal for a variety of use cases, not just podcasts. Their noise cancelling technology allows you to listen in utter silence in a public area, at the office, or to drown out outside noise. With a lithium-ion battery, you can listen up to 20 hours on a single charge — enough to get you through even the longest workday.
