I've spent whole days with the Sony's on. When editing. Out in the field
it's a little more problematic in the heat, sweat will build up. That's
true of any of the studio type mics though. The Sony's are the most
comfortable headphones I've owned. I'm happy enough with them that I
recently got a backup pair.
Guess I've a larger head. I find quite a few headphones just too tight.
Same with stethoscopes, some high quality ones feel like they will punch
right to the center of my head.
People come in asking about gear, I hope that they realize just how many
options work fine. Each of us have gear we like, sometimes for the
strangest reasons. I mostly went with sennheisers in mics as it seemed a
more sure bet with their long history in nature recording. I'd love to
try some of the other good stuff, some of the neumanns look interesting,
as do some other brands. But for a lot of them it's more of a risk to
buy as they don't have a history in nature recording. That's one of the
things this group is good for. Someone will take a risk, and we all
benefit from what they find out. Few can afford one of each.
