Audio really matters. Alongside great visuals, you also need a <\/span><a href="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/5-audio-facts-you-should-know-to-create-great-sounding-videos\/\&quot;"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">great-sounding video<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if you want your audience to keep watching. We\u2019ve already mentioned multiple ways you can improve your <\/span><a href="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/video-sound\/\&quot;"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">video sound<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (for example, considering an <\/span><a href="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/monitor-audio\/\&quot;"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">audio monitor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) and today, we\u2019re looking at another important factor: headphones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want the best possible sound for editing your films and videos, you need to invest in the right gear to achieve that. Below, we\u2019re breaking down why headphones are so important, the different types of headphones out there, what to look for and, lastly, a list of the best headphones for video editing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why headphones are essential for editing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making a case for buying headphones is similar to the case for an external microphone. While the in-built mics on cameras are pretty good these days, if you want really high-end results, you should invest in the external mic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same applies to headphones. While the in-built speakers on your PC monitor or laptop may be pretty good, there\u2019s always room for improvement. The sound played through your speakers may well be lost to other noises in your environment, for example. With headphones, you can block out all the external noise around you and really hone in on small, subtle items in your audio.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What about earbuds?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8458\" src="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ear-buds-1.png\&quot;" alt=\"are earbuds good headphones for video editing?\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ear-buds-1.png 1005w, https:\ \ new-blog.artlist.io\ blog\ wp-content\ uploads\ 2022\ 09\ ear-buds-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\ \ new-blog.artlist.io\ blog\ wp-content\ uploads\ 2022\ 09\ ear-buds-1-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \ /><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few reasons I wouldn\u2019t recommend earbuds when it comes to video editing. Firstly, earbuds tend to produce lower-quality audio because their drivers aren\u2019t as large as headphones. They also bypass the outer part of your ear, which affects how you hear the sound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the flip side, headphones offer better sound quality, superior noise cancellation and tend to be far more comfortable thanks to their padding. So while it can be tempting to opt for earbuds (mainly because they tend to be a little cheaper), I\u2019d advise that it\u2019s worth investing in proper headphones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The different types of headphones<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with most other filmmaking gear, there are a few different types of headphones, and it\u2019s a good idea to get to know the differences between them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>On-ear headphones vs. over-ear headphones<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8483\" src="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/on-ear-vs-over-ear-1-300x200.png\&quot;" alt=\"headphones\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/on-ear-vs-over-ear-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\ \ new-blog.artlist.io\ blog\ wp-content\ uploads\ 2022\ 09\ on-ear-vs-over-ear-1-768x512.png 768w, https:\ \ new-blog.artlist.io\ blog\ wp-content\ uploads\ 2022\ 09\ on-ear-vs-over-ear-1.png 1005w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \ /><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes known as supra-aural headphones, on-ear headphones are designed to rest <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">on<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> your ears rather than around them. Their small design means they\u2019re usually lighter than their over-ear counterparts. Still, it\u2019s important to note you may experience discomfort after wearing them for an extended period of time, thanks to the pressure resting on your ears. They\u2019re also more susceptible to sound intrusion (certain noises from the outside can be heard) and sound leaking (some loud audio may \u201cleak\u201d outside the headphones).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the flip side, over-ear headphones rest around your ears, enclosing them. This means they should block out more of the outside sounds around you. Because they\u2019re larger, they can also fit bigger drivers, producing a more accurate sound. Therefore, you\u2019ll find that over-ear headphones often tend to be the best headphones for editing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Closed-back vs. open-back headphones<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8484\" src="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/closed-back-vs.-open-back-1-300x200.png\&quot;" alt=\"best headphones for editing\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/closed-back-vs.-open-back-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\ \ new-blog.artlist.io\ blog\ wp-content\ uploads\ 2022\ 09\ closed-back-vs.-open-back-1-768x512.png 768w, https:\ \ new-blog.artlist.io\ blog\ wp-content\ uploads\ 2022\ 09\ closed-back-vs.-open-back-1.png 1005w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \ /><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When deciding which are the best video editing headphones, you\u2019ll also need to choose between closed-back and open-back headphones. The difference is quite simple. Closed-back headphones have a solid enclosure on the outer shell. This design aspect keeps audio inside the headphones, trapping different tones and sending them straight into your ears.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, open-back headphones have a softer, more breathable outer shell designed to help with airflow and ear sweat (yes, that\u2019s a thing during long editing sessions\u2026trust me). Unfortunately, noise cancellation is not so good because of this open design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In conclusion, and as you\u2019ll see below, most of the best headphones for audio editing are over-ear, closed-back designs. But, of course, there are exceptions to the rule, and everyone has different preferences. So, what do you look for when trying to pick the best headphones for sound editing?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to look for<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few key factors can help you in your research and decision-making when looking at the best headphones for video editing. We\u2019ll break each of them down here.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Frequency response<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, this is the range of tones the headphone driver can produce. Our ears can hear a range from 20Hz to 20,000Hz, so you\u2019ll want a pair that covers this as a bare minimum. However, you\u2019ll actually find that many of the best headphones for editing have an even wider range.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Impedance<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All you need to know here is that the higher the impedance, the more power is needed to drive the headphones (meaning vibrate the sound waves into your ear). So, higher impedance headphones (above 50 ohms) sound much clearer and less distorted (better for editing), but you will need something like a dedicated pre-amp to run them. And they require more power than your laptop or PC can provide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower impedance headphones won\u2019t sound quite as good as the high impedance options, but they can be powered by your laptop or PC. These are anything below 50 ohms.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Connection<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While wireless can be tempting for mobility, I\u2019d recommend going for a traditional cord connection (a 3.5mm headphone jack). With a cord, you avoid the possible quality drop that comes with possible wireless interference.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Comfort<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all know how long video editing sessions can last. Therefore, the best headphones for editing will need to be as comfortable as possible for as long as possible. As discussed above, there are a few different designs, such as on-ear, over-ear and different materials and padding, all having an impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Noise cancellation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best headphones for audio editing will also have excellent noise cancellation. If you really want to hone in on the finer details of your audio, you need to be completely focused on that and block out all outside interference. Make sure that your headphones can do the job properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best headphones for video editing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With all those factors and knowledge in place, we\u2019re giving you a list of the best headphones for video editing. Here is a list of five, from cheapest to most expensive.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sony MDR-7506<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8461 size-medium manual\" src="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Sony-MDR-7506-281x300.jpg\&quot;" alt=\"Sony-MDR-7506\" width=\"281\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Sony-MDR-7506-281x300.jpg 281w, https:\ \ new-blog.artlist.io\ blog\ wp-content\ uploads\ 2022\ 09\ Sony-MDR-7506.jpg 679w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 281px) 100vw, 281px\" \ /><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Price: <\/span><a href="\&quot;https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Sony-MDR7506-Professional-Diaphragm-Headphone\/dp\/B000AJIF4E\/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=Sony+MDR7506+Professional+Large+Diaphragm+Headphone&amp;qid=1663207449&amp;sr=8-3\&quot;"><b>$79.00 on Amazon<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Style: Over ear, closed back<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Connection: Wired (3m coiled cable)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Driver size: 40mm<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frequency response: 5-20,000Hz<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Impedance: 63 ohms<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weight: 261g<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sony MDR-7506 are some of the best headphones for sound editing out there.
