hey all, i just bought some sony headphones for 52.99 at best buy. my buddy had a more expensive pair for about 100 that i tried first. anyways, for some reason there is a really bad echo when i listen to my audio through the headphones. but when i capture it sounds fine. is it the headphones, or is it me. what headphones are good and how much.


2nd i have a haze uv filter. got it at bh photo. is it worth installing, and how do you install it. i took off the protector but there is another part to disconnect and i dont want to break it. thanks

This isn't an echo, but the delay between the ambient sound and the camera's delayed sound (in sync with the delayed video). A really good set of closed back cans is going to reject the ambient component and reduce this effect. A better solution is to use an external mic pre (field mixer) with its own headphone amp.

This question isn't clear at all. A filter typically has both a male and female threaded portion. Can you clarify your question or perhaps post an image?
 
To answer your question... Its either your headphones, or, and the probable problem, when you are recording there is a slight delay for the sound to be processed, so you might be hearing the person talking in the studio (or wherever you are recording) and then the same thing a split second later in your headphones after the sound has been prcessed.
 
what are the best headphones to take care of this. if not, bye bye headphones. i can say 50 bucks.

i do have the uv filter thread, but i cant get to the lens. after removing the protector, there is a rectangular box around the lens. am i in danger of ruining my lens by attaching this uv filter. i dont want to mess up the allignment. thanks
 
The headphones will not fix your problem. Don't throw them away just learn to deal w/ the delay. You still need to make sure you're getting good audio. I wouldn't buy headphones from best buy. Here's a pretty standard set http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/con...510&is=REG&addedTroughType=categoryNavigation
Your looking at around $100 bucks. Again you are still going to hear the delay.

As for a filter, absoutely use it. You are protecting your lens. It screws on. This is likely the one you have.

the filter makes it look a little blurry. is that normal. but like i said how do i get the rectangular piece off the camera, right before the lens. thanks
 
You shound't ever remove anything to get to the rectangular piece of the camera. Any normal filter you should just screw on. Your filter should be a round piece of clear glass, 72 mm, that you can screw on. Also, it shoudn't look hazy when you put the filter on, you shouldn't be able to spot the difference.
