[/quote] Not sure they'll help that much, if your like me the feet get going as well.. I like closed Sennheisers (I have 3 pairs round the house) HD 380 pros are my fave for playing bass and music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratman Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I have a couple of sets of Sennheiser HD200's. I've had them a while but they're great for practicing quietly with. And they sound great with my Streamliner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpup Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) I recently tried a bunch of phones out and came out with some Sony MDR-V55 ones. They used to be £90 but various places have been jobbing them out at £40/50 (Currys and Amazon for example) They can take anything i throw at them without getting farty or rattly and i've been very pleased with them. Tried Sennheisers, JVC and a few DJ'y type ones but these were the best by a country mile and seemed much more like £100 phones. Shortish lead though so i use an extender to stand up and play. Bargain. Heres a link http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-MDR-V55-DJ-Stereo-Headphones/dp/B007I1QY5Y Edited July 23, 2013 by Mudpup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzz Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I use my Shure SE215s for everything headphone-related, including practising with my Streamliner. They sound really, really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superclive Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Half decent set of studio cans? Audio Technica ATH M50s are pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best ive ever had for this sort of thing, and yes, i used them with my old Streamliner 600. Lots of nice tight, clear bass, not woolly or over powering.

Telebass Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Another vote for Sennheisers! I've used a pair of HD212 Pros for years. Also got a pair of HD202s yesterday (in Sainsburys of all places). Light weight, sound good, cables replaceable. And not too pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftybassman392 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Something wrong with Beyerdynamic DT100's that I should know about? A bit pricey for some budgets, but an enduring classic nevertheless. And yes, you can still buy them new (I checked on Amazon before posting). Quite a lively SH market too.

tauzero Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Sennheiser HD419 for me - around £40. Very good bass response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolo Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Get you to a better headphone shop, bring some good music that you are very familiar with and compare the lot. A £20 headpiece will NOT sound like a £150 one if you are discriminate about your monitoring. Listen for the hard to spot details, the stuff you lose when converting from wav to mp3 or like the meat of your finger hitting a string finished by the clack of a corner from your nail just clipping it. A decent headphone will let you check a monitor mix for levels and pan-ing. Please stay clear of the "hi-fi" cans. Those are made to sound pleasant, not anywhere truthfull. On your budget check out -Beyerdynamic dt770 pro 80 ohms -sennheiser hd 25 - 1 And their competition One of these will take your music farther than any Beats, Skullcandy or other hyped up crap fashion brand. Also, enjoy the search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
