i searched this forum already...it seems its quite rare that guitarist uses Headphones when playing guitar?

but i need one as my neighbors are elderly ppl...and if i plug in an amp...sure there will be alot of complaints...

currently using
guitar => gt-8 => Westone3

any cheap pair will do like the philips.
just make sure to save seperate patches for amp use and headphone use.

ah?there is differences?
sry...quite noob in this...juz got the gt-8 last nite...been messing around with it...

Seconded.
For the longest time, mine has been like this: Bass --> V-Amp --> Philips headphone.

its just easier so u dont have to tweak the eq settings everytime u change between headphones and ur amp.
plus u got so many patches must as well make use of some

yeah
lemme get the hang of the system 1st...too many buttons
ill probably go find some random headphone and try em 1st...

Most of the time, I run guitar > GT8 > headphones too.

My first headphones was a TDK MP-100 (RM55 @ Digital Mall). Overall, it performed very very well in all aspects. Transparent, uncoloured sound production, honest sounding. It's broken into 2 now, but I still have it. Too 'sayang' to dump in the dustbin. Still using it once in a while, only when using my net-lappy.

When I went to the same place looking for a replacement, the shop keeper told me that they ran out of stock and maybe TDK is coming up with a new version. Not wanting to wait, I grabbed myself a Philips SHP2000 for about the same price. This one is more comfortable than the TDK coz the whole ears are covered, suitable for prolonged use. But in terms of sound production, I must say the TDK is way way better. It's hard for me to describe it but my ears are spoiled by the honesty of the TDK. I highly recommend the TDK, I can GUARANTEE you that it won't let you down in terms of sound production. And if you take this route, do let me know the place that sells them coz I want one for myself.

If you have the moolah, you might wanna check out brands like Audio Technica, Sennheiser, AKG etc (RM200 & above). And make sure you do some research on which model suits your application most.

wow a 55bucks headphones with good reviews?

i honestly havent heard that before.

YMMV

damm u can do thing like this ar guitar>multi fx>headphone.. if i known i might just do so.. hahaha since i always plug my headphone to my amp and now thinking of getting a multi fx.. haha too late for me la.. hahaha

TDK MP-100 <-- i used it before, not too shabby for its price xD

ditto. i use phillips too.
guitar>amp>headphone will sound crappy. you need an mfx for amp simulator and ambiance(if your amp has this function, it might work too). that way the sound won't sound like a low quality mp3 .

how about getting an amplug.. its small and packs quite a punch(metal model)

amplug?1st time hearing this...what is it?how does it work?

its a headphone amp meaning you plug the amp into your guitar then you plug your headphones/earphones in

nice!!!
does it require batteries or somethin?

on 2nd thought it isint a great idea...i still need to plug in to my Multi effects...

hey guys... some of u all said that u all can connect from ur guitar to the amp then to ur headphones... i had a roland microcube, do u think is it possible for me to plug d headphones straight to the amp? i tried, but it won't work.

i used to do that...whats the problem?no sound?

guitar---amplug (a small connector-like thing)---headphones...

it should work with amps...but provided your amp has an output (i suppose microcube has one)...maybe your headphones are faulty?

agreed. those phone sockets are pretty standard. almost all practice amps can use headphones.

why would u wanna connect ur guitar to ur mfx to ur amp then to ur headphone? it would sound way better to just connect from ur mfx straight to ur headphone.....especially if ur mfx has amp modeling....the gt8 has amp modeling, POD has amp modeling....i use headphones too since my neighbour complaints.....but sometimes i just have to blast my amp and rock my sox off.......hhahahahaha \m/

thats wierd i plug in my headphone at d back of my amp ... i heard the sound from my headphones

not quite agree with iriz.
the reason is because, mfx with amp modelling already have pre amp and power amp in it.
if it goes to an amplifier, it would go to the power amp of the amp which has it's own characteristic and it would alter the sound shape once again.
that is why the sound is much better on the headphone because it dont have power amp.

i heard that the best way of using an mfx is to go to DI box then go to PA system so u'll get ur sound as close as u hear it on the headphone

alot of ppl are already doing that.
plugging their line6 or whatever right into the mixer to PA.

speaking of sounds on stage...my sounds always turn out to be different when i go on stage...i really don't know what seems to be the problem...

setup?

First off, when playing live, don't try to get the sound that you normally do while practicing at home... Get a sound that actually can be heard by yourself and the audience... Your low level sound would most likely sound very different at loud volumes, ie as the volume increases, your signal gets more trebly... If you like scooped mids when practicing, chances are you won't be able to cut through the mix live... Normally, I'll bump up the mids alittle and tame the bass...

By the way, I'm using M-audio IE-30 in-ears...

Good advise, i never playing live

for headphones nothing so far nothing beats my Sony MDR-700DJ. its been with me for like 6 -7 yrs and still working fine, i even change the casing cos its crack. cost a bit more but damn its aweosmeness blows me.

i use it for silent practice, i use it when i am in the studio recording stuff and use it for both bass and guitar.

i dunno if there are better headphones nowadays but i been using that since like forever with no complains!

not to disagree, just a tad confused.

amps get their characteristics from the circuitry and speakers, right? if we're going guitar-->mfx-->amp-->headphone, will the amp characteristics even matters? you're not using the amps speaker anyway.

sony rawks..hehe..i also got sony 4 pluggin 2 amp...try 2 look 4 sony mdr-xd100...
low budget headphon with crazy sound....
i think u shud find it in sony world shop or senQ,cz diz model is lmited now.
price around rm60-rm70...
