Hello all!
I need a good headphone for use with e-guitar/e-bass ...
my first doubt it's: the best ones for this use could be the best
sounding also for hear music at good quality?
What i need it's very good sounding and comfortable (for esample: some
of hi-fi headphone of past hear was very heavy and not comfortably after
some minute of use....)..so the advices that i need are for:
-one little earpiece of at not high price (sure NO more than 80$/?) for
use also out of home with portable player (if the answer at my first
question it's yes obviously eheh) ....ps: someone have tryed the
behringer? (from what i have just read they could have a very high ratio
soundquality/price )...or the best ratio q/? could be buying these kit
from an electric shop(like radioshack etc)?


I have tried several headphones for just the same range of
applications as You:

- low end behringer
- Sennheiser HD424
- Bayer DT880
- Koss Porta Pro
- Bayer DTX700

What You appear to need is a good sounding low impedance (32-100 Ohms)
which accepts a high load, sound good and costs not too much. I have
decided to buy the DTX700 fur just that purpose although i own all the
other devices.

Low impedance is crucial in order to be able to drive it with
portables. This will exclude most of the high end hifi devices like
the bayer dt 880 (600 Ohms) or the Sennheisers.

The behringer is good for its price but not very comfortable (for me).
I bought one for my children.

Candidates You might have a look are the Koss Porta Pro or something
like the bayer DTX 700. Both low impedance, and the dtx700 accepts 1.5
Watts! Important if You want to use it with a bass guitar - You will
drive the Koss to its limits with bass playing at even modest volume
(i got problems over long time usage and bought the DTx700 as an
alternative). The acoustic quality of the dtx700 is good (top in its
price range), while the koss is a bit and the dt880 is significantly
better if driven from an appropriate amp (i am talking of high end
hifi equipment). So it appears a reasonable compromise for it. It is
light and comfortable and has a fairly long cable (3m). Maybe there is
already an improved new model - it will be worth checking. It will
meet Your price range. I am quite happy with it and actually use it
more often as my DT880.

BTW, the AKG mentioned in the other response is also really good, but
if You do not want to spend that much...
