The first thing I noticed was that there are headphone amps…I didn't know about that aspect. Sounds like a good idea tho...can/would you recommend me one for under $200? It would strictly be used with my PC here at home so portability isn't a concern.

Loopie, get a high audio quality version of a song like this (or any dual female vocals); sounds good on decent headphones, and baseline is interesting.

Headphones are important in my "hobbyist" line of work (recording, engineering, etc.)

Closed back for recording.
Open Back for mixing.

Of the top picks I've donned? Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro and AKG K271 MkII.

I run a set of hd650s off a tube amp, I do love me some headphones. Will have to check those out when I get a chance, look nice.

What sort of "tube amp" has a headphone out? Interested.

Cheers and good morning!

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight… Obviously wasn't thinking when I asked this question. My bad. I get it - "audio amplifiers" - Macintosh, Audio Research, etc. Get it, Got it, Good!! See - where I spend, ooooooooooh, maybe 85% of my free time is with these:

Im sure theyve thought about it, but I have to be really careful moving my guitar amp around after playing for a while cause the hot tubes are more fragile.

Ha Ha! Made you look.

How do you like the Diezels? Especially the VH4. It's on my list of amps to try at some point because Adam Jones uses one, or used to, or whatever.
