Derek H Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Looking for a good single sided headphone for camera operator use. Would love a single sided sony 7506 but not sure this is available. I see Beyer makes some. Need one without a boom mic. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT Groove Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Jan, How durable are those? I tried a few Remote Audio Set Cans recently and they all broke within a few days of use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McL Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Jan, How durable are those? I tried a few Remote Audio Set Cans recently and they all broke within a few days of use. Had a couple for a while. Recently, half a dozen additional with the six-pack, since people seem to want 'em more and more. They seem fine. Next six will be purchased by production as expendables if/when they break down. They're not that expensive. -- Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Boisvert Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I haven't had much luck with the ear buds. One set I had on a cameraman didn't last a day. A slightly beefier cable would probably cure the problem. It's just too fragile as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek H Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Thanks, everyone for the suggestions! Looking for more of a serious circum-aural design. This is for one of the few camera ops that care about sound. Normally I provide sony 7506 for the guy but we need something that will work with a larger camera on the shoulder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnpaul215 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Jan, How durable are those? I tried a few Remote Audio Set Cans recently and they all broke within a few days of use. I have a few of these Remote Audio Ear Buds too and they hold up well. Very much worth the money. Some camera operators use them, but they mostly get used for IFB (especially when the other ear has a surveillance earpiece in). These are not big, so if you really want something like a single sided 7506 to cover the ear, that Stanton sounds like it's worth looking at.

Boomboom Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 These RA earbuds, is it possible I've seen them with coiled cables lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT Groove Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I guess I will give them a try. Thanks for the tip everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Ear Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'd check around at markertek. I seem to remember seeing some single ear headphones there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Sammy, The 2-sided headphones ("SetCans") you had that broke are very different than the single ear ones that Jan shows in the link ("EarBuds"). There was a batch of SetCans that had a faulty curing process, so a lot of them snapped, and have been discontinued for now. The EarBuds are on their second version (to improve the hinge pin and plug strain relief) which was done two years ago, and are holding up very well. They were intended for Comtek use, but I know a lot of crew (ADs in particular) that prefer them for walkie talkie use. Glen Trew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Trew Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 These RA earbuds, is it possible I've seen them with coiled cables lately? The Remote Audio EarBuds are only available with a straight cable and right angle plug. Glen Trew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twade Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I've had good results with these. Coily cable, silicone-like curve sits on the ear, ear bud sticks in the ear and a stereo right angle plug at the end. Camera guys love'em. http://www.pryme.com/products/earphone/EH-300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
