britheguy Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Due to reasons I'll not go in to at present, I have found myself having to practice at home through headphones. At the moment I am using small "bud" type ear plugs which are less than perfect if you ask me.Anyway, can anyone recommened a pair of headphones which I can use to practice at home. I will be either plugging into my Line 6 Looper, or my HT5 combo. My guitar sound rubbish through the "buds".I do have a price limit from "cheap to nae quite so cheap" but upper of around 30-40 quid would be it but less would be good. I will have an extension for the headphones so if they come with a 1 mtr cord, then that's not a problem.cheersBTG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christy Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Had a wonderful pair of Sennheisers from Full Tilt; I forget the model but they retail around forty bangers. Only lasted four months before they broke, though. A common phenomenon with Sennheisers tbh. Sound quality is superb, durability ain't.

Soda Jerk Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Sennheiser HD201 Closed Back Headphones: Amazon.co.uk: ElectronicsFor 13, I don't think you can beat these. You can certainly get better, but not for the price as far as I'm aware. Lots of bass response, very comfortable too.I'm no expert though, but I'm reasonably anal about sound.

Huw Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Koss PortaPro - High Quality Sound Stereophone: Amazon.co.uk: ElectronicsI'd probably go for the senn's as well for what you're after, but if you want a bit more 'portability' these are out standing. The bass response in unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 They look neat! How long is the cord on them? The Sennheiser ones are about 4 metres which is way too much for me.The good thing about the Senn's is they keep the sound in, so I don't disturb other people with my obnoxiously loud music. How are these for that? Are they quite enclosed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
