    Headphones for guitar practice

    I think I should get an amp for my trusted K501. Love it except it sounds like a cat when I plug into my guitar amp.

    Headphones for guitar practice

    Hey folks, I need a good pair of headphones to practice and record with my digital amp. Here are a few requirements: - Full size, comfortable for long practice/record session (no Grado!) - Low impedance: ideally less than 33ohm since the headphone output of my amp is 33ohm. - Neutral, flat...

    Guitar-fi anyone?

    I I don't have the paper but I believe it was made in 2002. Yes it's MIA built by Fender Custom Shop. It's the best strat I've ever played. Tone and playability are amazing.

    The AKG K550 Impressions and Discussion Thread!

    I can't speak for Leonarfd but definitely the K550 is much more detailed and neutral. DT880 has more bass and sub-bass but it's too boomy for my taste. I found that the K550 has better bass control and attack. K550 is the better all-rounder IMO.

    Rock/Pop songs with killer sax solos

    I would like to add "Shine on you crazy diamond" from the album "Wish you were here" by Pink Floyd. Terrific sax solo.

    The AKG K550 Impressions and Discussion Thread!

    I've got the K550 from Curly21029 for a few days. It's an amazing headphone. I can't get why people say it's uncomfortable. It fits better than K501 and K701. It's clear, transparent and has a lot of punch. I A/B'ed with my K501 and I prefer the K550. It's more detailed, has more bass and...

    John Mayer is the man!!

    I love his playing and song writing. I think if he focuses on writing just blues instead of cheesy pop songs, he would be a great bluesman. I don't really like his voice. Hendrix and SRV (Mayers' biggest influences) are not recognized as the best singers ever but they know how to sing emotionally.

    Jazz...

    My recent discovery. "Bitches Brew" is too different from other Miles Davis' albums and IMO it's Davis' best work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30Acy8Z9jkw "Romantic Warrior" is my all-time favorite. I don't think that I should give any introduction here...

    Headphones for my guitar - help me

    Guitar amp's headphone output sucks (at least from all the solid state amps I tried). You should buy a modeller (Line 6 HD300 for example) for silent practice or get a low watt amp (but it's another story)

    AKG K501 love...

    This thread made me buy the K501. 3 years later I come back and it still puts the smile on my face. I pair K501 with Apogee Duet and this combo really shines. It's the keeper after other headphones come and go. I use it for almost everything: from blues, classic rock, metal to jazz/fusion. I...

    Best Headphone under $200?

    I tried many headphones and for under $200, nothing can beat (used) AKG K501. The soundstage and details are amazing. Incredible headphones for the value.

    The NIKON Thread (Talk About Nikon Stuff here)

    Is there any Fujifilm DSLR (S1, S2, S3 and S5 pro) around? I got a S5 pro for a few days and I'm very happy with it. It's a great upgrade from D80: better iso, neutral colors, tank-like built quality (based on D200 body), high dynamic range.
