I've seen only cursory discussion of headphones here, thus I pose the following question: what is a good, affordable headphone for use with my vcustoms? I picked up a set of sony MDR V250s recently, thinking they would be more than adequate. Scored them off ebay for $US26. They are ok, but they do not capture all the subtleties of the TD-8 frequency ranges. A bit disappointed in my purchase now. A buddy let me borrow his $US19.99 Optimus Pro 25 headphones in a pinch the other night and I was amazed at the sonic quality and dynamic range. Wow! Made the TD-8 patches sound killer! And for so cheap!? Even some of the snare patches that previously were not terribly pleasing to my ear/tastes (most of them, in fact) sounded great! Problem: I am told by my buddy that they are no longer sold. What is my alternative in this price range? Anyone got a pair in great shape they want to unload ?
Many thanks for all the great advice and laughs as usual!!
