14 best art recording headphones
Art recording headphones, often referred to as studio headphones or monitor headphones, are a specific type of over-ear headphones designed for use in recording studios and audio production environments. These headphones are tailored to provide high-quality, accurate sound reproduction, making them essential tools for musicians, audio engineers, and producers. Here are some key features and considerations related to art recording headphones:
Sound Quality: Art recording headphones prioritize accurate and neutral sound reproduction. They aim to deliver a flat frequency response, meaning they don't emphasize any particular frequency range. This neutrality helps audio professionals make critical judgments about the audio they are recording or mixing.
Closed-Back vs. Open-Back: Studio headphones come in two main designs: closed-back and open-back. Closed-back headphones isolate the listener from external noise and prevent sound leakage, making them suitable for tracking and recording. Open-back headphones provide a more natural and spacious sound but may not isolate external sounds as well, making them better for mixing and critical listening.
Comfort: Since professionals often wear these headphones for extended periods, comfort is crucial. Look for headphones with padded ear cushions and adjustable headbands for a comfortable fit.
Durability: Studio headphones should be built to withstand regular use in a studio environment. Sturdy materials and a well-constructed design are essential to ensure longevity.
Impedance: The impedance of studio headphones is a factor to consider. Low-impedance headphones are easier to drive with portable devices like smartphones, while high-impedance headphones may require a dedicated headphone amplifier for optimal performance.
Cable Length: A longer cable is often preferred in studio settings, allowing for more flexibility when moving around the recording space.Some studio headphones have detachable cables for easy replacement.
Sound Isolation: Closed-back studio headphones offer better sound isolation, which is crucial for recording. This prevents sound leakage into microphones and helps musicians stay focused during recording sessions.
Brand and Model: There are various reputable brands known for producing high-quality studio headphones, including Sennheiser, Audio-Technica, Beyerdynamic, AKG, Sony, and Shure. Each brand offers a range of models with different features and price points.
Frequency Response: Look for headphones with a wide and flat frequency response that covers the entire audible spectrum. This ensures that you can hear all the details in your audio recordings.
Noise-Canceling vs. Passive Isolation: Some studio headphones offer active noise-canceling technology, which can be useful in noisy environments. However, passive noise isolation is often preferred for critical listening and recording to avoid introducing artifacts.
Budget: Studio headphones are available at various price points, so consider your budget and needs when making a selection. High-end models may offer superior sound quality and durability but can be more expensive.
In summary, art recording headphones, or studio headphones, are specialized over-ear headphones designed for professionals in the audio recording and production industry. They prioritize accuracy, sound isolation, comfort, and durability to ensure that audio professionals can make precise judgments about the sound they are working with during recording, mixing, and mastering sessions.

User questions & answers
Question: | What is the "instrument/line thru" for |
Answer: | So you can sing in time/key. You feed it with either your guitar or keyboard, or any line signal from the main band mixer you want and you adjust the balance of loudness between your own mic and the feed. Or you can use without this input and just hear your own mic relative to the ambient acoustic sound of the live performance. |
Question: | How much power can the stereo monitor input tolerate before it starts to distort (or worse, damage). E.g. Can it safely tap an amplifier output |
Answer: | Don't know...can't get the two I've ordered separately to work properly to use even! These units are not being tested properly at quality control level before being shipped it appears. Cool concept though. Grrrr |
Question: | Can you use this for practice without and amp |
Answer: | No you cannot. The input has to be amplified. You would need something that emulates an amplifier like a Sans Amp. |
Question: | Does this supply 48v phantom power |
Answer: | It does not supply phantom power, just passively (whether unit is on or off) passes it. |

The ART HeadTap Headphone Tap is a passive device with an input to connect the PA or monitor amplifier and an output to connect your headphones. Sometimes floor monitors are a problem. There isn't enough room for them onstage or someone sits in and can't hear the monitors, or the drummer can't hear them well enough. Or perhaps it's a pickup gig or a rehearsal and you didn't have enough time to set them up. In any case, sometimes it's preferable to just to put on headphones and somehow connect them to the PA. That's where a headphone tap comes in. A volume control regulates the headphone output and internal resistors keep the unit's impedance high enough to protect the phones. It also protects the amplifier from encountering too low a load impedance while powering tap units, the speaker system, or several tap units by themselves. The HeadTAP will also work with a stereo headphone amplifier for use in recording situations when you want to add headphones for additional performers.

User questions & answers
Question: | Is it suitable for Guitar pedalboard? I just want to hear the sound of my guitar pedalboard output to headphone |
Answer: | I put it direct in parallel with a monitor speaker line. The volume knob can attenuate the signal going out to headphones. I don't think it will amplify the signal. It just drops a speaker main level down so you can listen to it with headphones. Great for monitor mix on stage. |
Question: | Still need a speaker load if plugged directly into amp head |
Answer: | No. It stands in place of a speaker, so it provides a "load" to the amp so the amp is happy, and also doesn't require power to drive your headphones. And, you can jump out of the headtap to perhaps another headtap. I wouldn't go from amp, to headtap, to speaker—that to me would seem like a bad idea (though not necessarily disallowed). |

User questions & answers
Question: | can i use this with powered pc speakers to make the splitt more even between 4 sets of small speakers that are powered |
Answer: | You want line-level outputs to feed powered PC speakers. Not amplified. That said, it will work, but you would have to keep the output VERY LOW so you don't kill your PC speakers. |
Question: | can i use this for using your product in Singapore: Simran SMF-200 Deluxe 200 Watts Step Down Voltage Converter for International Travel to AC 220V |
Answer: | Yes but you do not need that amount of potency. Needs 110 to be used with it´s own transformer but you can use a cheaper 220 AC to 12 v DC (negative inside plug) of 200 milliamperes. |
Question: | So does this thing pack adequate power to really amplify the sound of my headphones or is it only s mediocre bump in the sound? I need power lol |
Answer: | I have an ATH-M50x and I only use half volume of the HeadAmp. It does really amplify the sound! |
Question: | can you listen to four separate diff songs through 4 headphones |
Answer: | The point of this hardware is to allow 4 to 8 people to listen to one input of a single audio input. To listen to four different inputs you need something like a mixer or the scarlet 18i8 |

Product description
The USB DI takes in USB audio, converts it to analog audio and then isolates the output using custom transformers. The output isolation is key to removing ground loops and other system noise between the digital and analog audio systems. A large knob on the USNDI front panel allows quick, precise control over the output level, while a separate headphone output allows the user to monitor the system. The front panel Main Outputs switch allows the user to keep the isolated outputs at a fixed level while controlling level of the Headphones output.
The line level XLR outputs are available for connecting to all sorts of systems. The Main outputs are always isolated but allow the user to control the ground reference to reduce noise. The USB DI/O is powered by USB, drawing less than 200mA and eliminating the need for an external power Source.

Question: | Can you do talkback with this |
Answer: | This does not have built-in talkback. If this was helpful, please consider purchasing from us (pixelproaudio on Amazon). We can help with support after the sale as well. We have it in stock and ready to ship. - Pixel Pro Audio |
Question: | I'm going to run a simple setup where I have one main input, and simple headphone outputs. Can I access all the needed jacks from the rear |
Answer: | Hi, yes there are 2 headphone outs for each channel on the back, as well as the main stereo input (both 1/4" and XLR inputs) and a stereo through output on the back, if you wanted the signal to move onto another piece of gear. The only thing not available on the back are the aux inputs. Those can only be accessed via the front panel aux input jacks (for running an extra signal into each channel to boost, say a vocal for the vocalist that he can then boost higher than the mix). You say you're running in mono, so you would just go into the left or right input on the back, and then press the mono button on the front (which sums left and right) to give you a mono signal going to both sides of the headphones.If you buy it from us, Pixel Pro Audio, we'll be happy to provide free email and phone support if you have any questions after you get it and start using it. |
Question: | How does a single source (stereo out from a mixer) connect, allowing for all 6 headphones to work? (it appears that it needs 6 separate inputs |

User questions & answers
Question: | Does it come with power adapter that works with 240 v ac 50-60 hz |
Answer: | It's tough to say. Hum can come from a whole number of issues. It can come from grounding issues, which is what this unit isolates and prevents. That's the most common cause of hum. That said, hum can happen for other reasons, such as failing capacitors or other electronic components, it can also come from certain gear with poor or improper grounding physically touching each other. This won't fix those problems. It will only fix the most common grounding hum issues I mentioned up top. |
Question: | Will headphone volume run over a 100' extension cable cable |
Answer: | Electrically the XLR output and 1/4" output are wired in parallel in the T8 so if your 1/4" connection is TRS (balanced) then you can connect to both with only a possible small decrease in signal level. But if your 1/4" connection is only TS (unbalanced) that will affect your XLR output as well which could cause problems with the XLR signal. Just keep in mind that your 1/4" and XLR outputs will not be isolated from each other so you may experience some interference (hum or buzz) depending on what they connect to or if either output feeds a long cable or they feed devices on different grounds. If the output cables are relatively short and connect to devices on the same ground it should work fine. |
Question: | Can i use the aux inputs to feed in 4 separate headphone signals (all mix-minus signals, so each is different) so I can talkback to each |
Answer: | I used it to convert an unbalanced keyboard to a balanced signal. It worked well to that. They do make a 2 channel version if all you need is to handle left and right signal. |
Question: | Can this be battery opperated |
Answer: | Hi, I have 2 of these units. They are isolation transformers, and are used to make connections while breaking ground loop problems, etc. However, they don't do impedance matching, which is where a true DI comes in. The signal level going in is the same going out.IF your DAW interface has instrument level preamps built into it, then this unit will work for you. But if they are line level inputs, the output of this unit will not be sufficient to give a strong enough signal.In my studio, for example, i have a lot of keyboards all going into the ART units, and then into my console's line inputs. The preamps in the console boost the signal to a level usable by Pro Tools or Tape Machines.For a true DI solution, you might want to look into the Behringer Ultra DI Pro DI800 or the Radial Pro D8. |

- Best of both worlds: professional handheld dynamic microphone with USB digital output for connecting to a computer and XLR analog output for connecting to a mixer, audio interface or portable PA system
- Sound your best: dynamic microphone capsule with a cardioid pickup pattern captures sound from in front of the microphone and less from the side and rear, minimizing ambient sounds and other room noises for podcasting, home recording or voiceover work. It also reduces possible feedback in live performance settings
- Hear the mix: onboard 1/8" (3. 5mm) headphone jack allows for zero-latency monitoring, so you can hear yourself without any delay or echo, plus a mix of your computer audio playback. Solid, die-cast construction with heavy gauge mesh grille
- Start Recording: The Q2U is a plug-and-play device, meaning it doesn’t need any special drivers to work with your computer. Just connect the microphone to your computer, launch your favorite audio software, and start recording.
- It’s All in the Box: The Q2U Recording and Podcasting Pack includes everything you need to start recording great sounding projects: an extended desktop stand with mic clip that positions the microphone close to the sound source, a pop-filter for reducing p-pops, and USB and XLR cables.
User questions & answers
Question: | I have two questions: 1. would this microphone work well for recording audio books? 2. would it work w/ a macbook air laptop |
Answer: | Yes that should work well with your audiobooks. As for the Mac laptop I don’t see why not it offers clear recordings for what I use it for. |
Question: | I need something that is compatible with both a Mac and an iPhone/iPad. Will this work with either or both |
Answer: | This is an old question but has yet to be answered completely so here goes. Yes, this microphone will work through USB with the macOS, Windows OS, most versions of Linux (that I know of), and will work with iOS (iPhone/iPad) devices that can use Apple's camera connection kit (30-pin or Lightning ports) as well as newer ones that use USB-C |
Question: | How well does the microphone pick up a talking level voice from a short distance, say 2 feet |
Answer: | Unfortunately no. This Is a Dynamic mike and it is designed for the speaker to be a few inches away 1-4 at best. What you really need is a Boom mike. If the point is to have people listen to you need the correct mike. For what you want this mike is not for you. |
Question: | Would this microphone be a good fit for a multi host podcast? Each host having one of these mics |
Answer: | this is not a omni direction mic where you put it in the middle and you can record everyone, this is a direct to your mouth, pointed right at your face mic (to put it in simplest terms.) if you want a multi host mic where you can set it on the table and everyone can talk "at it" then look for the Yeti mic. . |

Product description
CLEANBoxPro Dual-Channel Level Converter. The ART CLEANBoxPro audio converter provides two channels of unbalanced-to-balanced level conversion and two channels of balanced-to-unbalanced level conversion in a rugged, compact, and portable unit. Balanced lines offer increased immunity to external electrical hum, excelling in noise reduction. Since a balanced system minimizes induced noise, this method of reducing noise is the preferred method of connecting audio gear, especially when long lengths of cable are used. One section of the ART CLEANBoxPro converts two channels of consumer-level unbalanced input signals into two channels of pro line-level balanced output signals. The audio converter has two RCA jack inputs and a stereo mini-phone jack input connected in parallel. The balanced output feeds two XLR male jacks. The other section of the ART CLEANBoxPro converts two channels of line-level balanced input signals into two channels of consumer unbalanced output signals. The audio converter has two XLR female input jacks. The unbalanced output feeds two RCA jacks and a stereo mini-phone jack connected in parallel. Each section has stereo level controls to optimize signal levels. An LED indicator lights when power is applied. The noise reduction you get from the ART CLEANBoxPro converter can be invaluable in numerous application areas including, but not limited to, home or professional recording studios, live sound, PA, permanent installs, DJ, AV, consumer HiFi, podcasting, and broadcasting. The CLEANBoxPro audio converter can be used with mixers, audio processors, laptop computers, computer sound cards, CD/DVD players, video gaming machines, MP3 player/recorders, powered monitors, and digital audio workstations.
- XLR connectors for balanced inputs and outputs
- RCA phono jacks and stereo 1/8" mini-phone jacks for unbalanced inputs and outputs
- Unbalanced output level control
- Balanced output level control
- Rugged extruded aluminum case
User questions & answers
Question: | I want to use this to connect rca from a dj controller to active speakers via xlr without adapters . is this the right product for this application |
Answer: | Yes should work great. |
Question: | Will this work to go from the output of an audio mixer to an unbalanced hiz type signial used by the blackmagicdesign atem mini pro mic jacks, please |
Answer: | yes |
Question: | are ther any multi channel version of this i need one for a 5.1 system any one got ideas |
Answer: | Something like this will work. https://www.rdlnet.com/product.php?page=49 Or look on eBay for an Aphex 228 which is similar |
Question: | Can I convert from balanced (or unbalanced) XLR audio to RCA for recording? Most people are commenting using it the other way round |
Answer: | I'm looking for a balanced +4 line level to unbalanced -10 line level to take advantage of the 5/6 inputs of my mbox pro. I think this, or similar, is what I need. XLR is either a line level or a mic level though and should both be balanced. If the XLR is a microphone, it should pass through a preamp to raise the level from mic to line. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Do these suppress engine noise |
Answer: | They suppress all noise by virtue of the seal around the ear, but they won't block it out because they're not technically noise canceling (no active noise suppression). They also do better with high frequency noise and aren't as good in low frequency where much engine noise lies, which is true of all things that only passively block noise eg ear plugs. So the answer is yes to a limited degree, but it won't be a complete suppression by any means and more in the high frequencies. I've found the combo of these with earplugs to be very effective for airplane noise. |
Question: | Is the cord detachable? The description says it is detachable, answers here say otherwise |
Answer: | The cord is not detachable but it is replaceable.If you're handy with a soldering iron you can however easily add a 3.5mm headphone jack to use a removable cable. |
Question: | How is the sound leakage? l need portable headphones to use in the bus, library, and such. I don't want to bother people around me |
Answer: | There is "sound leakage". At the moment, I have them hooked up to my computer. No special amplification, just on-board Realtek. At 75-100% volume, I can slightly hear them over ambient noise (such as my heater, which is kind of loud) while standing about ten feet away. I don't know if everyone else that answered this question listens to their music at low volume, or if their headphones have some insulation that mine doesn't but in my experience, there is plenty of "sound leakage". Also, you could actually use these as speakers while you're not wearing them. They wouldn't be loud enough to entertain anyone, but you could still listen to something while they sit on your desk. |
Question: | How durable are they in cold weather |
Answer: | I’m a professional location sound mixer in Alaska. I’ve had these headphones out in -50 F weather for 12 hour shoots. These headphones can withstand the cold |
