Philip Perkins Posted July 30, 2018 Report Posted July 30, 2018 Do they sound good? I ask because I have their little ear bud with clip thing (from trew) which is very convenient but kind of lo-fi.... Quote
Doc Justice Posted July 30, 2018 Report Posted July 30, 2018 Philip, While I happen to think that the Field Monitor single-earbud headset sounds great (and the technical specs on it back it up), I realize that "good sound" is up to the listener. I hope you'll take the time to visit any of the usual suspects and demo the new Scene Monitor on an IFB receiver. I'm confident that you'll be happy with what you hear! Quote
Philip Perkins Posted July 30, 2018 Report Posted July 30, 2018 I look forward to hearing the new one, and maybe comparing my current one to another unit to see if mine has an issue. Quote
mikewest Posted July 30, 2018 Report Posted July 30, 2018 Looks like a great product. I have 14 IFB units that are constantly left around after a shoot sometimes on the floor so the price is relevant versus the quality for people who don't care! mike Quote
Doc Justice Posted July 30, 2018 Report Posted July 30, 2018 $15 US each, or $125 US for a 10-Pack! Quote
Philip Perkins Posted July 30, 2018 Report Posted July 30, 2018 That is a great price! That makes them an expendable, which is truly what they end up being treated as! Quote
Doc Justice Posted July 30, 2018 Report Posted July 30, 2018 I want to speak candidly about the Scene Monitor, which should hopefully answer most of the questions people may have about it. We've been hearing for several years about how there hasn't been that one perfect "comtek headphone" for sale on the market. Even though there are thousands upon thousands of headphones for sale, there wasn't one that check all of the boxes that a Production Sound Mixer needs for an IFB headphone. This is the exact reason why I started Halter Technical; to make something better when the options available just aren't good enough. And so, we went down the list. One single cable rather than two coming from each speaker...a straight, 3ft cable so that tall people can still clip an IFB to their waist, but not so long that a coiled mess gets caught on a director's chair...a lightweight headband that won't fatigue the wearer...speakers that twist flat for easy storage and transport...an absolutely gorgeous logo... From there, it as all about how I can add value to this headphone. First, I had to choose between including the leather earpads or the silicond earpads. There were good reasons for either one, so I was thrilled to be able to include BOTH in the package. So now, you can choose which set of earpads is right for you or your client, and you have a backup set on you from the start. Secondly, I worked out how to sell them in packs of ten to the customer for an even bigger discount. You saw the price. I think $15 for a single Scene Monitor is a great price. $125 for a 10-Pack is an awesome price. The hope here is that you'll have a 10-Pack ordered with your expendables, and if you just need one or two you can buy them individually at a great price. I'm very biased, but I love everything about Scene Monitor. I hope you all will too! Quote

Few, Thank you. So he does like these new HP's? Ok. It didn't sound that way, maybe his comment was about some other HP product comment. Thank you, Martin Quote
Jim Rillie Posted November 4, 2018 Report Posted November 4, 2018 The Halter Technical scene monitor seeem to be decent for the price. As afewmore years mentioned I am in favour of 1 wire to headset, one reason I got some. Quote
