the headphones below are a bit over-priced ... if you look long and hard you should be able to find a pair of these around the $200 mark

with these headphones you can actually hear what Bob Katz is complaining about in the bottom video on this page, lol. Without the right gear you would prolly just think he is crazy.

For anyone looking to increase their audio vocabulary this book at the beginning of this video, Mastering Audio: the art and science by Bob Katz is a must read. After reading this book you will have a plethora of audio descriptors to use when speaking with musicians & engineers. Important to note that musicians and engineers use different lingo. What musicians call pitch, engineers call frequency. The right vocabulary is essential to describe what you are hearing and Bob Katz does a great job crossing the bridge between the art & science.

one of the most important issues when recording audio is eliminating unwanted audio from being captured, such as heating, air conditioning, ventilation systems etc. refrigerators, farm animals & electrical hiss & hum.
