A set of decent studio type headphones is a good investment for anyone. Check this fairly recent thread: What headphones do you use?

The two that I've used and can recommend without hesitation are the Sony 7506 and the AKG K240. The Sonys are closed and keep out a lot of external sound and the AKGs are much more open allowing more external sound. Both are studio quality and at around $100 are a lot of bang for the buck.

Do you have an amp to power them? If you're looking for a headphone amp the Cafe Walter is a good one. http://www.bassnw.com/New%20Effects%...walter_HA1.htm

I don't have one myself but a touring guitar tech friend of mine has one in his tuning station and he thinks a lot of the thing. I've talked to Walter a couple of times and he's a great guy. I have a little one a guy built for me years ago...not as nice as the CW but it does the job.
