What do you use for headphones practice?

there was a similar thread not long ago, I replied 

I've got a laptop, use a Behringer UM2 audio interface, load any song into the audacity app (free)  you can slow it down or change key, if required, then play along using headphones

Sorry for the lack of updates gents. 

 

The decision was made for me, my partner got fed up of me procrastinating about it and she went out and got me a Blackstar Bass Amplug2. 

 

It actually sounds pretty great out of the box, does what I need and does the trick for now! 

Thank you all for your input 🙂

I go direct out of the ToneX One in to headphones some times, when I have the pedalboard on a table or something. Other times I plug it in to the dongle for my "TV Headphones", which takes a 3.5mm headphone cable and sends the out signal wirelessly. Latency is very low though not zero, and I think conpression does affect the sound slightly. It's a slightly older version of this model.

Totally forgot about my Boss Katana:Go!

 

Its pretty great, perfect for noodling or playing along to stuff while the child is distracted and I get a few mins.

 

Shame it got discontinued after the 1st batch pretty much due to supply chain issues. It does make me sad that its even more unlikely to receive future quality of life improvements too, not that Boss are well known for high software update cadence.

Bass > Line6 Helix > Mac running Logic > Denon Amp > Sennheiser headphones.

 

This used for writing and practicing the songs my band plays. IMO there is little point "practicing" without using the correct sounds/effects on my bass, and without playing along to the programmed drums and synths we have as our backing, hence the set up.

Bass-backbeat-pedalboard-VB99(usb interface)-Mac-GK200-Bassboard with Beyer DT770s from the VB99.
 

This way I get haptic feedback from the backbeat and, if I want it, the bassboard which gives a really ‘live’ feel, and of course perfect sound from the cans. I play this way 90% of the time; I never use an amp at home.
