Headphones to plug in my bass amp..

Demon · #1 12-27-2006, 03:04 PM

Can anyone recomend a pair of fairly cheap, but good headphones to play my bass through? It sucks cos i live in an apartment and as soon i turn bass up enough for it to sound like a bass the neighbours start knocking

Not that they dont have the right to

Itd be a + if this site:http://www.jamshop.se/ has them. Maybe you can check in the "hörlurar" section.
And playing through headphones wouldnt be bad for the ears right?

I have 2 of these. One I got a few years ago, and I got a 2nd pair for Christmas this year specifically to plug into my bass amp.

Yes, playing bass through headphones loudly and repeatedly will damage your ears. To reduce the problem, keep the volume low/moderate, and take frequent breaks so your ears can readjust to normal sound levels (otherwise you will keep turning up the volume).

I don't have experience with any of the specific models on jamshop, but Sennheiser is a very good brand- see if there are any of those in your price range.

But aslong i dont turn up volume after starting to play with headphones there will not be any ear damage right?
I just tried with my 20buck or something headphones ihad around,and iwas surprised. Somehow both my tone and playing sound way better!=)
