timmo Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I don`t quite understand how headphone amps work. You plug your bass into the earphone amp, where do you plug the earphone amp to get the sound, or is it just a self contained unit that you can just play anywhere? If so, are they any good?

paul_5 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 My favourite is the EHX one. Metal case and self-contained. Jack input and a 1/8" headphone socket. It's got a 9v battery inside (a normal PP3 one) that last ages. To turn the amp on simply plug your headphones in - unplugging them turns it off. http://www.hotroxuk.com/electro-harmonix-headphone-amp-personal-practice-amplification.html?utm_source=GoogleBase&utm_medium=organic&gclid=CLzFoLGT5LkCFaTLtAodMF4AoQ I keep mine with a short 1/4" to 1/4" lead in my gig bag. In answer to your last question: yes, they're brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbandit599 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I just last night ordered some headphones and Nux PG1, bit of a punt really (but I wanted to plug in my MP3 player and fancied the metronome function.)

timmo Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 Thanks for the replies. I will have to buy one. The Nux PG1 looks interesting. Can you give your thoughts on it when you have had a reasonable go on it please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) Tascam Bass Trainer fan here. Same principle I guess.

andyonbass Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Am I correct in thinking you can get a gadget that enables you to plug into your i-phone? Are they any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
