I'm pretty sure I read that mic was made specifically for use on Idol by Blue and Interscope/"Beats by Dre"/Line6. It's a promo thing with Interscope's involvement in "Idol".Brian G. wrote:Does anyone here have an opinion on the "Beats" line of headphones/mics that have appeared all over this year's American Idol set?

Those headphones you picked up have a substantial bit of isolation but aren't the most uncomfortable by a long shot. Everything you described is very true of those and others like them though.Christian LeBlanc wrote:So, I think the fatigue will go away as I get more used to them, while the clarity they provide will help me sort sounds out a lot better. I feel like I will be able to control and manipulate my mixes much more effectively than before, although I'm not positive that I would like to sit around listening to my CD's through them just yet :)

It is too easy to lose track of increasing volume when you lack the real time comparison to sounds in the space with you. Keeping things reasonable will help avoid the fatigue you discovered yourself.
