08 | 🌎 Sound Quality and YOUR Brain: Over the ear headphones or earbuds?

Welcome back, listeners! We're thrilled to be with you again, diving deeper into the world of audio gear. In our last mini cast, we raved about microphones—especially the Shure MV7+ (still not sponsored...yet!). But today, we’re shifting our focus to the listener's experience—specifically headsets, earbuds, and computer audio.

🎧 Topics Covered:

• Our current favorite headphones and why we love them
• Why ambient noise matters more than you think
• How different audio setups can affect meetings, workouts, and walks
• The science behind focus, distraction, and task-switching (and a teaser for an upcoming episode on that!)

🛠️ Gear We Mentioned (Not Sponsored, Just Loved):

• Shure MV7+ microphone
• OneOdio over-ear headphones (Bluetooth + hardwired)
• TOSO headsets (great for workouts and meetings)
• Other earbuds tried: Jabra, Bose, and various looped models

🤓 Voice Coach Pro Tip:

If you’re doing any sort of vocal coaching, presenting, or listening critically—ditch the computer speakers. Go for something that isolates audio. Your brain (and your audience) will thank you.

💬 Listener Question:

Do earbuds fall out of your ears too? Do you prefer over-the-ear headsets or something else for meetings and walks? We’d love to hear your audio adventures! Drop us a voice note or email for a chance to be featured on a future episode.  Also, please listen, like and give us a 5 star review.
