Connecting Headphones to your camcorder while filming a video is imperative in order to control what you want heard in your video and what you do not want heard. That’s why most videographers have a pair of high quality head phones connected to their camcorder while filming. Headphones that substantially reduce the sound outside are preferred so that you can hear your source as closely as possible. While lightweight "Walkman-Type" headphones are comfortable, they do not offer the isolation required for mission critical professional work.
