Headphones

Headphones are undoubtedly one of the most indispensable tools for making and consuming music. There's a host of styles to match any situation you face, from studio headphones to discreet in-ear headphones to a pair with big drivers and comfortable straps, open backed, closed, back, noise cancelling - the list goes on!

A quality pair of headphones is a must-have for almost any playing situation. Whether you are plugging your headphones into your guitar amp for home practice at home-friendly volumes, or for live use like players such as John Mayer and Paul Gilbert using a big ol' pair of cans for onstage monitoring, ensuring they hear the clearest mix at all times.

For playback, quality musical instrument headphones are important whether you're just enjoying your favourite tunes, monitoring and mixing tracks in your live DJ set, close-monitoring your field recording setup or just getting the very best mix in the studio (or mixing at home).
