studio quality headphones at a budget
0:02
price let's check these
0:11
out oh Dave Taylor here I'm checking out
0:15
these These are the atom audio
0:18
h200 Studio headphones and as you can
0:21
see they are slim and small and they are
0:26
wired now Studio headphones generally
0:29
are designed to go into mixing panels
0:32
and into computer systems where you're
0:34
mixing and creating music but of course
0:36
you can also just use them as regular
0:39
headphones what makes them studio is
0:42
generally they have a very flat and very
0:45
accurate reproduction of the music and
0:48
these do just that so let me give you
0:50
some specs and as I do that let me show
0:52
you a couple of photos they're powered
0:54
by 40 mm Peak Performance neodymium
0:58
drivers and they have 30 2 ohms
1:00
resistance with a Max SPL of 112.5 DB
1:05
and an impressive frequency response of
1:09
23,500 htz that is definitely better
1:12
than I can hear at both ends of the
1:14
spectrum the design they are closed back
1:17
they are very attractive looking and
1:19
they have an aluminum yolk so they
1:21
definitely feel like they're going to
1:23
last a good long time I will say they
1:26
are kind of clampy so they're kind of a
1:29
little tight if you have a um cabesa
1:33
Grande like me you might find it to be
1:36
certainly when you first get them that
1:38
they're pretty snug but as you wear them
1:41
things tend to loosen a little bit so
1:44
they will become more comfortable if you
1:46
have a smaller head of course then you
1:48
don't have that issue now the wire it
1:50
comes with is nice and long this is a
1:54
wire that's long enough that if you're
1:56
working at a mixing board on a chair
2:00
that sort of traditional setup you can
2:03
move away from the board turn around and
2:05
talk to people all while you stay
2:07
plugged in the end of it is a 3.5 mm but
2:11
of course there's a 1/4in adapter so if
2:14
you have a larger plug on your device
2:16
you can plug it in and in fact atom
2:19
audio has their headphone utility Daw
2:23
plug-in and this is for Mac or Windows
2:25
and a Daw is a digital audio workstation
2:29
so you can download some software that
2:32
actually plugs into the biggest and most
2:35
popular audio mixing programs and then
2:38
through that plug-in you can actually
2:40
adjust whether you want a pure
2:43
reproduction or a uniform natural
2:46
reproduction and what are the nuances
2:49
between those that's best going to be
2:51
answered by your ears and you listening
2:54
so that's kind of a lot of what I have
2:57
here for you with these headphones they
2:59
do have a nice big lnr so it's easy for
3:02
you to know which way to plug them in
3:04
and put them on your head and what's
3:06
cool is that the wire has a 2.5 mm plug
3:10
on the end so you can actually plug it
3:12
in on either side so I just switched it
3:16
so that instead of having the wire
3:18
running down the right side of my head
3:19
it now runs down the left side if you're
3:22
left-handed you might want the wire away
3:24
from your hand for example so having
3:26
that bit of flexibility is very nice
3:29
also comes with a nice and surprisingly
3:31
heavyduty uh canvas case this feels like
3:35
it will actually protect it as I said it
3:37
does come with that quar inch adapter
3:40
and a user guide and a box I know pretty
3:45
box so that's about everything I can
3:48
tell you in terms of the physical
3:49
characteristics of these headphones they
3:52
are adjustable there's a relatively
3:55
small amount of play so they are a
3:59
pretty fixed unit in terms of how
4:01
they're going to fit on your head which
4:03
brings us to music reproduction and they
4:07
sound pretty darn good I will say that I
4:10
didn't feel like they had a big Sound
4:12
Stage so it felt like more of an
4:14
intimate music reproduction but I tried
4:16
it with a bunch of different music
4:18
especially a lot of stuff of like sort
4:20
of a 80s new wave and new um pop and all
4:23
that sort of stuff and a lot of those
4:25
have really nice engineering and they're
4:28
really Lush track on track sort of
4:30
designs and the audio reproduction was
4:33
good it was very much a studio monitor
4:36
sort of experience where it was very
4:38
flat so there wasn't a lot of Basse
4:40
there wasn't a lot of treble it just
4:42
felt like a very natural reproduction of
4:44
whatever the musicians had designed but
4:48
the downside is as I said it doesn't
4:50
have a big Sound Stage so if you're
4:52
looking for something that gives you a
4:53
really expansive sound then these are
4:56
not those headphones but that's not
4:58
really their design or intention so I
5:01
would argue that these are really good
5:02
for what they are which is to plug into
5:05
your mixing board or your audio gear and
5:08
use them to help you create really good
5:11
recordings and in that sort of situation
5:14
it's really important that your
5:16
headphones aren't adding to the music
5:19
because you want to make sure that that
5:21
everything you change is in the source
5:24
not something affected by how you're
5:26
listening so these work really well in
5:28
that regard they are light they are
5:30
portable they are easy to use like I
5:34
said the biggest issue was that they're
5:35
a bit tight and a lot of users have
5:37
complain that they're a little bit on
5:39
the more like clamp on your head style
5:43
and I would guess that the company and
5:46
their next iteration might make this
5:47
just a little bit looser for an adults
5:50
siiz head but I didn't find it to be a
5:53
huge issue other than when I listened
5:55
for more than an hour or two then I had
5:58
some sort of head and ear fatigue so I
6:00
needed to take them off and just give my
6:02
brain a break for a few
6:04
minutes um but again as I said earlier I
6:08
think that over the course of some hours
6:11
of usage that would go away or certainly
6:13
become less of an issue so that's pretty
6:16
much what I got here these are
6:18
definitely worthwhile and affordable if
6:20
you're looking for something to plug
6:21
into your mixing board and you want to
6:24
have a nice faithful reproduction of
6:26
your music now I am going to ask you to
