R70xA Headphones – Worth the Hype? | The Pro Audio Suite

<p class="">In this week’s video episode of <em>The Pro Audio Suite</em>, AP's got his ears on the new Audio-Technica R70xA headphones, and the team dives into a full-blown can convo.</p> <p class="">He shares his first impressions after two weeks of use — lightweight, comfy, and eerily similar in tone to the Hi-X65s. But how do they <em>really</em> stack up against other studio staples like the KRKs, Austrian Audio Hi-X55s and 65s, Sennheiser HD280s, and even some vintage Audio-Technica ATH2s?</p> <p class="">From comfort and design quirks (hello magnetic straps and mystery cables) to 470-ohm impedance madness, gear abuse stories, and which cans sound great but feel like a head clamp, this is one juicy headphone shootout.</p> <p class="">Bonus: George nerds out on impedance math, Robert gets officially certified as “professional grade,” and an AKG suffers a tragic fate at VO Atlanta...R70xA Headphones – Worth the Hype? </p> 🎙️ Sponsored by: <ul> <li class=""> <p class="">Tribooth — The portable vocal booth that's more than just a tent. <a class="" href="https://www.tribooth.com/" rel="noopener" target="_new">https://www.tribooth.com</a></p> </li> <li class=""> <p class="">Austrian Audio — Makers of the OC818 and OC18 microphones we use on this very show. <a href="https://austrian.audio/">https://austrian.audio</a></p> A big shout out to our sponsors<a href="https://youtu.be/G9u8j2pmAcs">,</a> Austrian Audio and Tri Booth.

Budget Audio Gear: Bargains or Bollocks?|The Pro Audio SUite

This week's episode of The Pro Audio Suite dives headfirst into the world of budget audio gear, exploring whether cheaper equipment has actually improved or if it's still just average kit with fancy marketing. Here are some key highlights and insights from the discussion:</p> Budget Gear: Better or Still Rubbish? <ul> <li>Robustness & Quality: The crew revisits the Rode NT1’s evolution—from early plastic models to today's sturdy iterations. They ponder its surprising collectability today.</li> <li>User-Friendliness: A cheeky chat unfolds about how budget gear manufacturers should assume nothing when it comes to user knowledge, advocating for painfully obvious product instructions, especially with mics like Rode’s NT1.</li> </ul> Headphones: Still the Achilles Heel? <ul> <li>Consensus emerges around headphones as one area where low-budget options haven't improved as dramatically as microphones. The crew reckons that decent studio cans rarely dip below the $100 mark without significant compromises in sound and build quality.</li> <li>Austrian Audio gets a shout-out for their entry-level headphones offering decent quality, but it's noted that paying a little more generally delivers much better audio.</li> </ul> Interfaces and Converters: <ul> <li>Robbo's downsized rig is highlighted, having moved from larger interfaces to compact solutions like the SSL2 and the Centrance PASport VO.</li> <li>An important insight shared is that cheap interfaces often share internal converter chips with much pricier gear, meaning the sonic differences can be surprisingly subtle.</li> </ul> Bargain Finds and Bargain Fails: <ul> <li>Andrew points out the rise in cost of entry-level interfaces from brands like Focusrite, thanks to feature-creep.</li> <li>The group chats about bargain-basement gear flooding Amazon, discussing surprising finds like a $30 dual XLR-to-USB-C interface cable.</li> <li>Robbo humorously advises caution, noting that certain inexpensive gear—particularly cables and mic arms—can still be absolute rubbish.</li> </ul> Chinese Clones and Cheap Accessories: <ul> <li>George brings up affordable Chinese-made hardware like camera mounts and mic arms, now significantly cheaper yet surprisingly robust compared to premium brands. The "magic arm" clamp is a notable budget win.</li> <li>However, the consensus firmly recommends against skimping on headphones and cables. Quality connectors from Neutrik and Mogami cables are touted as essentials worth investing in.</li> </ul> Plug-ins: Stock vs. Premium vs. AI <ul> <li>Debate surrounds stock plug-ins vs premium offerings, questioning the necessity of higher-priced plug-ins from brands like FabFilter.</li> <li>Healthy skepticism about AI-enhanced plug-ins and noise reduction is expressed, particularly regarding Adobe Podcast's AI noise reduction.</li> </ul> Emulators & Mic Modeling: <ul> <li>Opinions split on whether mic emulation is beneficial or just a feel-good factor. Townsend Sphere and Antelope Audio's mics spark a conversation about whether emulated models truly rival their inspirations.</li> </ul> Final Thoughts: <ul> <li>Cheaper gear today often does punch above its price tag compared to the past, especially microphones. But there remain clear lines where quality is non-negotiable (headphones, connectors, and build quality in general).</li> <li>Ultimately, the episode reinforces the idea that good engineering practice and knowledge still win the day, regardless of budget constraints.</li> </ul> It’s another lively, opinionated, and informative chat from Robbo, Andrew Peters, George "The Tech" Whittam, and Robert Marshall, brought to you by their sponsors Tribooth and Austrian Audio.</p> If you're keen to catch the full flavour and all the banter, check out the episode at <a href="https://theproaudiosuite.com" rel="noopener" target="_new">theproaudiosuite.com</a>.</p> A big shout out to our sponsors<a href="https://youtu.be/G9u8j2pmAcs">,</a> Austrian Audio and Tri Booth.

Tribooth X Marks the Spot

In this episode, we're diving deep into the evolution of the Tribooth with the one and only Rick Wasserman from Bookable. He’s not just a co-founder; he's the mastermind behind the design. Rick joins us to spill the beans on Tribooth’s latest innovations—including the Tribooth Transform and a mystery new product, tentatively dubbed "The X."</p> We cover everything from booth transformations (literally!) to accessibility features for wheelchair users, and even how to set up your mobile VO rig on the go. Plus, there’s talk of Vespa-friendly recording setups, makeshift urinals (yep, that happened), and why Rick’s proudest moment involved a power chair and some serious booth design breakthroughs.</p> If you’re curious about travel-friendly voice booths, recording from a loveseat, or the art of booth design that fits in a carry-on, this one’s for you!</p> 🎯 Key Takeaways:</p> <ul> <li>The new Tribooth Transform adapts from standing to desk mode, fits over couches, and is wheelchair accessible.</li> <li>A sneak peek into Tribooth “X”—an ultra-lightweight, travel-friendly design that fits in carry-on luggage (hotel blankets sold separately).</li> <li>The practical (and hilarious) challenges of booth design, including accidental Foley sessions and Vespa-compatible setups.</li> </ul> 💡 Pro Tip: Use the code TRIPAP200 for $200 off your Tribooth purchase!</p> 🔗 Sponsors:</p> <ul> <li>Tribooth: The ultimate portable VO booth—now with more transformations than a sci-fi blockbuster.</li> <li>Austrian Audio: Making Passion Heard.</li> <li>Source Elements: Connecting creatives globally.
