This is a great, affordable headset. The mic can rotate so it can be on either side of the talent's head. They are also very comfortable, our shoots regularly run two hours or more and the talent doesn't complain about them (unlike our old headsets).
The one negative I've found about these so far is that the two connectors at the end of the cable are wired so that they're very close to each other. The cable that comes off the headset is very long and there's a little rubber block that holds the two connectors so that they each only have a foot or two of slack at the end. It keeps the cable looking nice but it's inconvenient for me because I'm running the headphones to an amp on a desk and now the microphone cable has to be plugged in up there too. It would be nice if there was enough slack to do it elsewhere.
That's the one rub that keeps these from being perfect for me.

Was hoping to use this as part of a sound booth for recording voiceover -- we found that there was very strange feedback vibrations when both the headset and headphones were hooked up, even when the monitor channel was closed. Both components worked brilliantly on their own but not together.

Comments about Audio-Technica BPHS1 Broadcast Stereo Headset:
I do interviews and podcasting. I am very fussy about audio quality. It is very convenient to have the mic on the headset. My larger broadcast mics seem to always be in my field of view of copy or computer monitor. The quality is great and your distance from the mic never changes, ensuring constant levals.

Comments about Audio-Technica BPHS1 Broadcast Stereo Headset:
My hockey team purchased this item to allow our Commentators to have a Professional Appearance when calling our games which are streamed live on the internet. I am receiving rave reviews from our fans on the quality of the video and audio. My Commentators tried lapel mics...no good. This headset is outstanding and they LOVE it.

Comments about Audio-Technica BPHS1 Broadcast Stereo Headset:
I use this with a JK Audio telephone interface to act as a superlative telephone, and also as a practice mic and headphone when a play guitar and sing.
The mic audio is excellent, and easily rivals a Shure SM58, the close micing works very well, not too much proximity effect.
The headphones are obviously quality, and provide a well balanced and detailed sound quality. No complaints at all. Quality cable with Neutric jacks,
Overall, the product easily exceeds my expectation.

Comments about Audio-Technica BPHS1 Broadcast Stereo Headset:
Love these headsets. We bought two at the start of football season for our broadcast team and they were awesome! Great sound reproduction and the long headset cables were wonderful. No need to link an extension to allow talent to move around in the booth. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a great sounding headset. Personally I love the full ear headset, but that is also the only negative I have heard all football and basketball season. The full ear headset was too hot in August and September... We bought ear covers and solved that issue.

Comments about Audio-Technica BPHS1 Broadcast Stereo Headset:
I do instructional video for music workstations and software. Over the years I've tried to make do with PC headsets, but when you start doing mulitrack recording you can't get a stereo mic mini jack to work with 1/4" inputs on a mixer. After days of searching this is the only solution in the [@] range. It works great, comfortable, great mic modulation for isolating your voice when you're not wanting to pick up desk noise or noise in the room.
