Any headphone suggestions for out-of-the-amp practicing? Thanx. |

About ten years ago, I went through a comparison exercise and finally settled on a pair of Sony MDR-V200 headphones as a practical cost/performance compromise. |

Sony HDR-7506. Good for critical listening -- I have several sets that plug into the headphone amp in my studio. $100 everywhere.

Sennheiser HD-25 not sure which HD-25 model mine are exactly, but they're light enough to wear for hours on end, great noise reduction, great quality, and all that. |

If you can swing the cash, pick up 2 sets. One "open back" and one "closed back" design. Don't buy anything more expensive then entry level. After you've discerned which better suites your needs, spring for a deluxe set of your favorite design.
Open backed will give you a blend of the headphone and exterior sound. Closed will give you more isolated headphone sound. |

Advice doesn't get much more sensible than that suggestion. |

Really depends on what you're after in a pair of headphones. My main pair is a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M40fs. They're nothing too elaborate, they sound good and are pretty reasonably priced (About $70), but I like them because they're extremely comfortable. I use them a lot for long periods of time, so comfort is a big deal to me! |
