The Audio-Technica BPHS2A Dual-Ear Broadcast Stereo Headset is a rugged professional tool engineered specifically for news and sports broadcasting. This headset combines high-fidelity audio reproduction with a low-profile, closed-back, on-ear design to ensure clear communication and effective sound isolation in demanding environments. Based on the ATH-M60x professional monitor headphones, this headset provides the performance required for broadcast-ready vocal output.
This headset utilizes proprietary 45 mm large-aperture drivers equipped with rare earth magnets and copper-clad aluminum wire voice coils. These components deliver high-fidelity sound and commanding vocal reproduction. The low-impedance design ensures the headset produces a high output level when connected to any standard headphone output.
The integrated hypercardioid dynamic microphone focuses pickup on the broadcaster's voice to maintain clarity even in loud environments. The microphone's frequency response is specifically tailored to provide a rich, broadcast-ready sound.
The microphone is mounted on a rigid boom that includes a strong, flexible gooseneck section for precise and stable adjustment. This boom swivels forward and backward, allowing the user to position the microphone on either the left or right side of the headset according to personal preference.
Audio-Technica utilizes key metal components in the construction of the BPHS2A to ensure lasting durability in field use. The headset features premium memory foam earpads and a memory foam headband to maintain comfort during extended periods of wear. For simplified maintenance, both the earpads and the headband are detachable and easily replaceable.
