uk_lefty Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Ashdown Meters. I've got the first version that needs a cable, not Bluetooth so sadly can't listen to music off my phone with it anymore. I will be using it for "silent" practice with the band soon as I don't have in-ears. They work great off a multi effects board or whatever and I think they're fantastic for listening in detail to music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What phone do you have, you should be able to use a dongle or maybe a Bluetooth DAC so you can still use them for music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pn_day Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I use the IEMs that I will use live - which have quite a flat frequency response. This means that I don't get surprised by a change in tone. Sometimes I also use some cheap Superlux over ears for convenience, but use the IEMs if practicing for church (which is as close as this rank amateur gets to a gig!)

Very happy with the M50x - exactly the tone profile I was looking for. ZS10 Pro X are a step up from my old non-pro ZS10 but I wish they weren't so bright.

Dood Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I also use the Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro. I like the 80 ohm version as it's most suitable across my devices. They are great for ambient noise rejection, they are reasonably light weight and don't give me sweaty ears like some cans do when wearing for long hours tracking bass. Sure, if you're mixing in cans, or wanting audiophile, you might look at an open back, but these have been reliable for many years and still look like new. Sometimes I use my IEMs, I have the 62 Audio A8, eight drivers per ear, but they are mostly for on stage and the DT's are much closer to hand in my studio. That said, most of the time I have the luxury of being able to run through my studio monitors (like right now) and enjoy the rumbles they bring! Actually, I wouldn't;t mind a decent pair of earphones for when I'm out walking, something light weight, sound great and will stay in my ears! Most, nay, pretty much all 'universal' and foam tip in-ear buds don't fit. Maybe I need a nice set of stylish over-ears! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I use Supalux 669s from Thomann. Cheap, and by no means a 'pro' pair, but my hearing is pretty shot and I can't see the point in pouring fine wine into a old, cracked and somewhat greasy mug Actually I'm the same with HDTV - I don't have hi-def vision...

barkin Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I have 4 pairs laying around the house. 2 pairs of Sennheiser, a pair of Superlux, and a pair of Phillips which can be used either wired or wireless. I've no idea of the model no's. - I just grab whichever are most convenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezzaboy Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 For playing the bass guitar through a set of Beats, not a popular choice but after trying quite a few different makes, including some that were recommended on this forum, they work for me. £30 ish second hand. For listening to music, a set of Audio Technica ATH - M50x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balcro Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 For general listening and comfort I have the Beyer Dynamic DT-880. The Pro versions of the 770, 880 and 990 all have a slightly elevated treble response so are best for recording / monitoring etc. Comments have been made by reviewers that the PRO series have stronger headbands for a tighter fit over the ears.
