It sounds as if these headphones block the 'highs' and would not be good for practicing guitar. What headphones would you suggest for a guitar player?

Hi.. I would check out the 3M Peltor series of ear phones for noise reduction.. I use them for drums and works great.. they have a series of different decibel reducing options and reasonably priced...

Not sure..as a drummer these were the perfect fit for me, but for you as a guitar player...hopefully another guitar player can answer your question. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I agree with previous responds, never tried with games but used for listening music. If your head isn't large try them. It didn't work for me since my head is large.

These really aren't the best headphones for that. Not to mention they shouldn't be used outside if you want to keep them working.Their fluffy cloth that pads the headphones will probably make you sweat more. For practice you need something that is less fluffy and more leather/plasticy like.

Why would watching videos be different than listening to music? But if you are concerned about specific frequencies, rest assured these are good substitute to any expensive systems. But you gotta be having a nice AMP for driving these. I hope you understand the importance of reproducing frequencies correctly by the AMP as well and not just by the speakers alone.

They are pretty low impedance headphones and will work without amping, but you will lose out on Alot of the sound. You get a much more full bodied sound with an amp.

I have no idea. I didn't keep them long enough to learn anything like that, I switched to another brand of headphones. That was another thing that really bothered me about them, the manual/documentation is horrible and I could not find any info online for help.

The headphones are great for practicing and jamming along to your favorite tracks or to learn songs for a gig. The frequency response is pretty good and represents a bass sound pretty well. It can sound a lil treble-y but roll back the tone and it sounds pretty good.

If you have these headphones, your bass should be kicking! I get strong bass even when driven from an iPod. Check the headphones with a different source, plug them into something else and see if that improves the bass. If it does, then your source is not driving the headphones well. If there is restricted bass even with another source, I think you have a bad set of headphones that need to be returned. These things are very strong in the bass. Mine were bass happy out of the box, but the recommendation to loosen them up is a good one and I support that.

I understand that the line out is not meant for headphones:http://forums.fender.com/viewtopic.php?f=45&t;=73398

Let me recant that last statement as after extended listening tests, I've determined that line out is "bright" and a bit harsher sounding than headphone out(with bass and treble set to 0)so I use headphone out. I was surprised by this as line out should bypass amp and tone controls, go through less electronics and should be a "purer" signal. But it really does sound better(to me)through headphone out so I now only use that.

Hi, sorry can't help as I don't have experience with this devices. Anyway you ordered outstanding headphones, top class for sure, I used with a good DAC and a Magny amplifier and really are one of my prefered headphones (well, I keep the 250ohm version as I almost never use portable devices for music). Hope you likes the Beyers. Leo.

I would spend my money on some good headphones after a while I'm almost sick of the muddy sound. The mix amp doesn't do much beside make them louder. Spend 100 more and get sennheisers or some audiotechnicas.

I have tried it with a P-bass. The cleanest sound was distorted. No bass type bottom end. Turning up the gain made a grainy hi-mid distortion. Not really usable for anything I would play or practice with. You can hear your notes so it might be of use to some players.

The headphones act as an amplifier running on batteries. No other power is needed to hear the guitar through the headphones.

I have found these to be tinny. So what you are hearing may be normal. I do not find them to simulate live music. Their greatest quality for me is that they have little to no wire noise when moving, compared to all of my other headphones ranging from Sony to Sennheiser and Bose (which are highly overrated as well).

The headphones are a self-contained amplifier. Just plug into guitar & play. It's that simple.

I haven't done a heavy bass type of mix with these headphones yet. lower Freqs has much more engergy than higher Freqs , so very heavy bass can sometimes drown other frequencies . My best advice is to try and listen to same song using studio monitors, good speakers or even high-end flat headphones and compare.
