Podcasting/Home Recording: Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 interface + Sennheiser HD600 + Condenser Mic $400 shipped ($655 value)

Adorama has a very interesting podcasting/home recording bundle on sale right now. You can grab the Sennheiser HD600 Audio Dynamic Hi-Fi Stereo Headphones plus a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 USB Audio Interface and a Samson MTR101 Condenser Microphone for $399.99 shipped. Combining all three items, that’s nearly $300 off the original listings, $255 off the current prices and the best we have seen.

Outside of the very expensive Apogee interfaces, the Scarletts are some of our favorites on the market. In combination with the MTR101 Condenser, your home recordings will certainly sound much better. While Sennheiser’s reputation as a headphone maker speaks for itself, the open-back HD 600s feature Kevlar reinforced cables and Neodymium ferrous magnets to offer a much more professional monitoring situation.

While reviews on this particular mic are scarce, just about all of the affordable Samsons have favorable reviews on Amazon. Both the headphones and the interface have 4+ stars from hundreds. 

Sennheiser HD600 Audio Dynamic Hi-Fi Stereo Headphones:

  • Lightweight aluminum voice coils ensure excellent transient response
  • Neodymium ferrous magnets maintain optimum sensitivity and excellent dynamics
  • Sophisticated design, elegantly finished in black and gray
  • High-quality open metal-mesh earpiece covers
  • Detachable, Kevlar-reinforced oxygen-free-copper cable with very low handling noise

Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 USB Audio Interface:

  • Two award winning Focusrite microphone pre-amps
  • Dual mic/line instrument inputs on combination XLR/TRS front-panel connectors
  • Precision, quality conversion at up to 24-bit, 96kHz sampling
  • Better than 105dB dynamic range on record and playback
  • Includes an authorization code for Ableton Live Lite, Scarlett Plug-in Suite (RTAS/AU/VST), Red 2 & Red 3 Plug-in Suite (AAX/AU/VST), Novation Bass Station, and 1GB of Loopmasters samples

Samson MTR101 Condenser Microphone:

  • Includes MTR101 Condenser Microphone, pop filter and shock mount
  • Large, 1-inch diaphragm studio condenser microphone
  • Internally shock-mounted capsule reduces handling noise and external vibrations
  • Rugged die cast construction

These futuristic looking headphones could be straight out of the Transformers movie series

It’s not easy to come up with a new headphone design. The whole gamut has pretty much been explored, making it more difficult to stand out from the pack. Instead of focusing on luxury, one company is going the opposite direction. The new Good Smile THP-01 headphones are unique blend of design and function. Think Transformers meets Bose.

Good Smile has collaborated with DJ Joe Hahn of Linkin Park fame under the “Toon Workshop” to crank out one of the cooler headphones we’ve seen in a while. You have to see the video to fully understand…

These Bluetooth earbuds use your iPhone’s Lightning port to charge

Avatar for Trevor Daugherty Oct 1 2015 - 5:48 pm PT
0 Comments

Wireless headphones have become more of the expectation than the exception lately. With advancements in Bluetooth capabilities and Apple Watch support for storing music, cutting the headphone cord is easier than ever. While wireless often means greater freedom, one of the challenges is managing battery life. Even the top brands in this category struggle to get more than eight hours of listening time.

One of the more intriguing solutions to this problem is leveraging the power of your device to charge your headphones. There has been some movement with this idea from JBL and others but it’s a largely untested idea. A new Kickstarter campaign has set out to bring a new pair of earbuds to market that use both Lightning and microUSB ports to recharge on-the-go. Judging by the amount of money pledged, there is some serious interest from consumers as well.

We’ve all been there, someone trying to get our attention while we are jamming out to our favorite tracks or intently listening to an audiobook. After removing our headphones and engaging in a conversation that we probably didn’t want to have, we return to find that our favorite song was over or we’ve missed a chunk of our book. At that point we have to scrub back through the tracks to find the exact spot where we left off.

The new BackBeat SENSE uses built-in Smart Sensors to help solve this problem with a pretty handy feature….

Over the last year, two of the biggest product categories experiencing growth and development have been fitness tracking and wireless headphones. The inclusion of Bluetooth 4.0 into more devices has helped curb the frustration of poor battery life and inconsistent connectivity. It only seems natural that one day a company would take the data collection from fitness trackers and combine it with Bluetooth headphones.

A new Kickstarter campaign has set out to accomplish just that. Kuaiwear’s Multisport Biometric Headphones combine the data collection of an Apple Watch with the flexibility of wireless headphones into one very interesting package.

Sony MDR-7506 Professional Folding Headphones $70 shipped (Reg. $100)

Avatar for Jun 11 2015 - 12:32 pm PT
0 Comments


TopElectronicsDeals (99.4% positive feedback from 4,032 buyers) via eBay Daily Deals offers Sony MDR-7506 Professional Folding Headphones for $69.99 with free shipping. These headphones are incredibly popular and rarely drop from their street price of $85. Today’s deal is the best we’ve ever seen.

The MDR-7506 is a staple within the recording, film and live arenas. Due to its low impedance and closed ear design, the headphone does an outstanding job of cutting down background noise while providing plenty of volume in the studio or in the field. Additionally, the closed design helps eliminate “headphone bleed” when overdubbing in the studio.

The MDR-7506 is an around-the-ear design and is ideal for use with MIDI workstations, camcorders or other equipment with less than powerful headphone amplification. The headphone has a foldable design, making it convenient to store or transport, and its coiled cable allows it to stretch and spring back into place whenever you need a bit more reach.

You can find more discounted headphones in this morning’s roundup from Parrot, Skullcandy, JBL and more.

Most of the time, headphones serve as a necessary inconvenience. You need them to listen to your music, favorite podcasts, and to keep whatever it is you choose to listen to in your ears instead of broadcast out loud. But there’s always a knot to be undone and a kink to be worked out. There’s no need to deal with that when you have the Wireless Bluetooth Cloud Buds.

The only cord on these headphones is the one that keeps the buds connected. Everything else done without wires. There’s nothing to plug in, and you can have 30 feet of untethered movement between you and your device while still getting crystal clear music.

For just $29.99—72% off the retail price—you’ll want to grab these great buds while you can.

Onkyo’s new portable headphone digital-to-analog converter uses a Lightning cable to boost your iPhone’s sound

Most of us enjoy our audio, albeit from iTunes or Spotify or the like, on an iPhone when we are on the go. The reality is that while iPhones are a decent source for audio, the internal make-up isn’t as strong as it could be when it comes to enjoying your favorite tunes.

This is where a digital-to-analog-converter can really come in handy, taking the stress off your device and letting the DAC do all the work. Audio accessory maker Onkyo has a new solution that utilizes the Lightning port instead of the typical 3.5mm jack to provide higher-fidelity audio.
