IN THEIR OWN WORDS

From the transcript.

Machine-transcribed, so it may contain errors. Every timestamp opens the episode at that second.

1:39I'm wearing them right here. And like you said, they are a ultra low latency wireless studio headphone. So that's kind of a category that hasn't existed. There are obviously plenty of consumer headphones that are wireless. You know, Bluetooth options are all over the place, but the issue with Bluetooth is it degrades the audio quality. So you have compressed audio and you also have a lot of latency.

▶ 00:00:34If you remain close to the unit, it will keep the latency low. What happens if you go a bit further? How much running room do you have here?▶ 00:00:38How about multiple musicians in studio, some needing to share the same mix, others their own, without having one transmitter per headphone?▶ 00:00:45What is the history of Lewitt and how did the idea for these come about?▶ 00:00:55Are there any head-related transfer function techniques built into your headphones? What are your thoughts on using headphones to mix in 3D?▶ 00:01:01The specs appear to treat real sound, Bluetooth, USB-C, and analog as separate modes. Can the LW6 stay connected to multiple sources at once? And if so, can you switch between them or actually mix them?▶ 00:01:04Is there a difference in latency between the two when both interfaces are used—the wireless and analog interfaces on the transmitter simultaneously?▶ 00:01:06Are the batteries replaceable? What is the runtime if being used at full volume?▶ 00:01:08In your YouTube video, Top 10 Tips for Recording Vocals in Your Home Studio, you mentioned number four, dial in your headphone mix. Can you expand on that here with a YouTube link?▶ 00:01:10Since DSP is built right in the headphones themselves, all four inputs—real sound, Bluetooth, USB-C, and analog modes—get the same treatment, correct?▶ 00:01:32Is there any way to tie the transmitter into a pro mixing console with balanced outs? What's the feed?▶ 00:01:34How is the sound rejection and noise cancellation? Is there active noise cancellation on these, or are they just relying on the fact that it's a closed headphone?▶ 00:01:36Are these headphones comfortable to wear with glasses? I've had problems in the past with headphones.▶ 00:01:38Can you elaborate on setting up mics in a recording studio while wearing these? Might the engineer actually walk into the active studio while wearing these to change the sound—is that a new method of micing?▶ 00:01:42Is there a cushion option for hot and humid environments? My 7506 is getting sticky, and my Sennheiser HD25-1-2s came with velour.▶ 00:01:44If I'm feeding the transmitter with a pro headphone amp like an RND RNHP, would I turn the volume knob on the amp to max and control the volume at the headset? Do you have to learn gain structure for these?▶ 00:01:48If using them wirelessly in a situation where your signal chain includes side tone—one's own voice in the mix—would the single digit millisecond latency be perceptible or distracting for some users?▶ 00:01:52What adapters are included with the LW6 package?▶ 00:01:54Is it a standard wireless connection or through a proprietary dongle? What frequency band is it in?▶ 00:01:55What's the most popular Lewitt mic?▶ 00:01:58Where should people take a look to find Lewitt products? What are the retail outlets or online outlets and what can they expect to find there?
