RagaMuffin Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 So I've decided to get a better pair of headphones for my ashdown "perfect 10" amp 40W. Any good deals and suggestions. I play a fleabass / MM stingray. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan670844 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 AKG K77, AKG K99, 99's are the best they have superb sound quality, either of these do a great job of monitoring bass, and when you are playing along or listening to to choones they sound great, they can handle the low end without any noticeable distortion and being closed back the sound is just for you. They punch (both) well above their weight, stand up to competition from much more expensive cans. They are easy to drive so they will sound good on any output jack. They are purpose built for studio monitoring K77 sound great but they are a bit uncomfortable to wear for long periods. I would go with the 99's even audiophiles love em (they call em the hidden gem, read reviews) £30. If you get one of those Bravo ocean tube headphone amps and some K99's, you will have a tidy cheap headphone system. Listen to your ipod through this and once the tube warms it will blow your mind. You will be amazed at what you can now hear..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertbass Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I've asked Santa for a pair of these for Christmas, http://www.philjonespuresound.com/products/?id=144. I'll let you all know what I think of them when they arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steff Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 +1 from me. This thread got me going on Superlux headphones as about a month and a half ago I broke my old set so I did a search first on here, and after reading the above I checked a few more reviews from google. All the reviews were the same - great price/quality, people rate them in the £150-£250 range. So I got a set of HD681s and I couldn't be happier. Great clarity and detail. All for £22 delivered. I've compared them to a friend's set of Sennheisers worth about the same and the difference was night and day. I hope whoever is looking for a new set of headphones will come across this thread. It was very useful for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyellowcar Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I've just ordered a set of Roland RH-5's which I preferred because of the fully closed back. I will report back once I've given them a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westie9 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 As above, I use a pair of AKG 99's. Comfy too...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime_BASS Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I actually use HTCs branded head phones. They came with my one mini, and honestly. They are the best I've owned. They broke so replaced them, £5.49 posted from eBay. That sounds like they'll be sh*t.but I've had headphones that cost upwards of £40 and these have blown everything out of the water.
