Creator GearAffiliate disclosure. This page has links to Amazon.in. We take part in the Amazon Associates programme, so a link marked "Search on Amazon.in" carries our tracking tag and we may earn a small commission if you buy, at no extra cost to you. The links open a search, not a particular product, and we do not recommend a brand or model. See how we choose.
Who needs it
Anyone who edits video or audio. You cannot fix what you cannot hear.
What to check before you buy
- Closed-back headphones keep outside noise out.
- A plain, balanced sound is better than heavy bass for editing.
- Comfort for long sessions.
- Wired headphones have no delay; wireless ones can lag behind the picture.
- A cable that suits your phone or laptop socket.
When to skip it
If you edit only on a phone for short videos, ordinary earphones may do.
A tip
Listen to your finished video on the phone speaker as well. Most viewers will hear it that way.

Do your links cost me extra?
