Product Description
Created especially for on-air news & sports broadcasting, announcing & interviews, this rugged stereo headset offers natural, highly intelligible and focused vocal reproduction, closed-back circumaural (around-the-ear) ear cups to seal out background noise, and a high-output dynamic microphone mounted on a flexible gooseneck boom. The headset's microphone has a cardioid polar pattern tailored for pickup of speech with maximum voice intelligibility over a wide range of frequencies. It is more sensitive to sound originating directly in front of the element, making it useful in reducing pickup of unwanted sounds. The flexible gooseneck boom swivels for easy positioning on either the right or left side.

The headset's themselves sound great. If you have used headsets like the Audio Technica M50x then the sound quality will be familiar to you. I'm happy with the way the mids and highs sound, and the bass has a very good punchiness to it. I really like the sound quality coming from them.
Comfort wise I wasn't a fan of the smaller ear pads that came with the unit, and quickly purchased more pillowy pleather pads and have really enjoyed them. I plan on eventually getting the velour pads, but really haven't been in any rush as the pillow pads have been really comfortable for over 2000 hours of usage already.
Be warned, the cable is long, and also heavy'ish, so it will snap a lot and also sometimes just feel in the way. I've rolled over it so many times which can be annoying, fortunately it hasn't been damaged yet.
The kicker for this headset is the mic. I absolutely ADORE this mic. Because it's a dynamic mic, once you get it setup right, it has great sound isolation along always being in your sweet spot as you move around. It makes streaming SO much more convenient. While doing testing of the headset, my friend said it pretty much sounded like an Audio Technica At2020 or At2030 mic being used with the headset. After thousands of hours of twitch streaming, the mic still sounds and I get many compliments on how it sounds.
The headset seems pretty expensive, but if you think how much it would be to purchase a At2030 along with a headset, the price is a lot more reasonable. I purchased 2 used ones from Amazon for about 60% the normal price and it really made them that much more worth it. One set is paired with a Rode Procaster and the other a Audient Evo 4 and both have been wonderful.
Overall the BPHS1 headset may not be the right headset for some and yes depending on the interface you use, the mic can sound a little flat but this is not a bad thing in situations as gain and bass along with treble and mid can be adjusted to compensate. I do internet radio so I use it to record commercials for my network and depending on the mixer I use, the sound is top notch. I do have hand mics that have better sound mic wise, but hands free doing videos, these are my go to. Some have stated that they have had to change the ear cups because they can be uncomfortable after using them for long hours, but for me I have not had this issue as I wear them 8-10 hours a day.
If you are thinking of a great headset, take it from me. You can't go wrong with this.
The BPHS1 doesn't have the nuance and versatility of the Neumann TLM 102, but I only need the BPHS1 for one thing and one thing only: narrate audio books. In that capacity, it's able to keep up with the Heil PR40 and the Shure SM7B. And if I were doing podcasts, the BPHS1 would be the go-to mic above all the others.
One thing I've noticed, which can be annoying if you're not used to it, is the fact that approximately the first foot of cord coming from the headphone is very sensitive to vibration. Whenever it brushes up against anything--including my shoulder and the desk in front of me--I can hear the rumble in the headphones and in the recording. To alleviate this noise, I have to sit perfectly still and try not to move my head while recording. I've also noticed that with the headphones placed squarely on my head, even the movement of my jaw causes rumble (albeit not nearly as noticeable).
I bought the BPHS1 new, but at a greatly reduced price because the box had been opened. All the parts were there, and there were no marks or damage to the equipment. Additionally, the warranty is good for a year.
So there you are. I'll update this review in about six months, but until then, I love the BPHS1. My setup includes a Universal Audio Twin Duo with Thunderbolt, Cloud Lifter, Rolls headphone amp. I record using Logic Pro X.
UPDATE SEPTEMBER 4, 2017.
I found a work-around that alleviates the rumble cause when the cord rubs against anything, and the rumble caused when my jaw moves. I looped the first three or four inches of cord where it comes out of the headphone then zip-tied it to the ear cup swivel. This prevents the cord from hanging to low and touching my shoulder as it exits the ear cup. Next, I draped the first foot of cord over something nearby on the desk. This prevents the sensitive part of the cord from touching my chest, my arm or the desk. The other nine or ten feet of cord can hang free or sit on top of the desk because this portion isn't sensitive to vibration. Finally, I place the headphone on my head so that the cup with the boom mic rests on my temple while the other cup rests over my ear as it normally would. That seems to have cured the "jaw rumble" completely. True, I only hear out of one headphone, which isn't pretty, but it's the best solution I could find. By the way, I've tried rolling off the lower frequencies, filtering the lower frequencies, etc., but none of those options seem to have any effect.
