Sony MDR-E5

This baby makes my life a lot easier. No more putting your headphones on half-on, half-off so you can hear the director better. No more struggling to put your headphones back on while juggling your clipboard and your stopwatch. No more interference with your hairdo!

Sometimes I wear it on the ear that's farther away from the director so we can confer more easily. Sometimes I keep it on the right ear so the dialog has a direct line into my left brain (the organized analytical side). I like to think that helps me track ad libbing.

The Sony MDR-E5 comes ready for use with a Comtek. I bought mine at Location Sound in North Hollywood. They don't list them on their website but I'm sure they'd be happy to take an order over the phone if you can't make it there in person.
