VOXAMPHONESBASS Active Amplifier Headphones

I am impressed with this item, the quality of sound, the comfort and fit, its lightweight, and also a great price, the only drawback is the input cord is a little to short, but overall a great!!! headset.

Love these. Work well with my 5-string electric bass. Also decent headphone for my ipod, although it isn't audiophile quality.

A big "thank you" to the blogger who suggested trading out the original batteries for new quality ones. The phones played great for a while then the sound deteriorated to something from the dregs of Pluto. I decided to return the phones, then I remembered the batteries. Changed them out, and perfect sound again! Just me, but I think the bass quality is excellent. It does take some patience to get the dials coordinated between guitar and phones (you have to keep removing the phones to adjust the dials - very annoying). The missing star is for the subtle background hissing that, for some strange reason, isn't all that annoying. As for the complaints regarding short cable from guitar to phones, it is indeed short but actually really is long enough. Psychologically, however, I simply added a short extension cable to it and attached a quarter-inch adapter for my guitar port. Extreme volume does seem to saturate, but it is certainly loud enough at a moderate level where the sound is clean. Bottom line - I still feel funny with everything attached to my head! Cell phone playlist is in my pocket plugged into my head. Guitar is plugged into my head. The 'snake pit' is now at my head instead of my feet. I LOVE this thing!

These work, fundamentally. They sound is okay, but I would not say “thunderous”. They are lightweight and reasonably comfortable.The tone control and gain seem to change things, but the effects seems to be just a matter of loudness- I can’t discern any appreciable benefit. They are difficult, no, virtually impossible to adjust while wearing because the adjustment dials have a protector ridge, and just small and fiddledy.I wear mine “backwards” Left side on right ear, because the input wire and the controls are on the Left side. Backwards puts the controls on the same side as the hand I use for bumbling around with poorly laid out equipment, and the wire is less in the way.Oh, and they hiss quite a lot if you don’t get the bass volume, gain, and headset volume set in some kind of balance. Just fiddledy.I got these rather than the plug-in headphone amp because they have the aux in, and, I “thought” these would be easier to adjust, rather than fiddledy bits underneath the side of my bass.Still use these, but are less than ideal.

I love these . I love the lovely sound the amp gives to my bass, and being able to plug in my music and play along to some tracks is great . plus , you can use the Headphones by themselves and just listen to music, and when you're doing that you don't need to turn on the headset. By the way, the BATTERIES ARE INCLUDED. I just felt like that was a nice touch . my only problem is that I haven't had enough time to fully mess around with them but this is a great buy.

These arrived several days ago. I have used them with my 4-string Squier Jaguar and 6-string Ibanez. I have flatwounds on both and want as flat and clean a sound a possible. I like the sound from these Vox Amphonebass headphones. It is acceptable down to the low B and a real pleasure above. Well worth the price. And I don't wake the neighbors. Also, while there is an aux input, regular speakers come through sufficiently to allow transcribing without turning player speaker volume too high. Ordinarily that lack of insulation would be a minus on phones, but in this case it is a definite plus; these phones aren't for isolation but practice in a quiet environment. Comfortable over the ears.It is now Nov 24, so I've been using them for two weeks and just now ran into what I thought might be a problem. Either my pick-ups were misbehaving or the preamp was. Since I had read the review by the person who had three malfunctioning units in a row, I thought I should edit my review: The phones are fine, still as good a I found them before; the problem was the batteries. To be thorough, I went and bought new batteries dispite normally using my own rechargables and that totally eliminated the distorted tone I was getting from the batteries supplied as well as my recharged rechargables both. So I still give these phones five stars.

I tried my best to love these headphones, and I admit the concept is great. However, no matter what I did, I could not eliminate the buzz and sudden static noises. I've tried 3 different bass guitars (Fender Jazz, Peavey Millenium, and Squier Jaguar) to no avail. I've disconnected all electronic devices around me, increased and reduced the gain, volume and tone on both the headphones and my instruments -- nothing helped. I'm going to return these, but before I do, would like to know if anyone else has experienced this problem and, if so, how was it resolved -- if it was.

Excellent tool for practice. I typically practice in my living room while my wife watched tv so it is relatively important that I keep quiet. LolTo me the coolest feature is being able to listen to the song set I am practicing. I create a song set or play list on my phone and run an auxiliary cable from my phone to the head phones and then I plug into the bass. PRESTO... I'm playing right along with the song.Just what I needed!!!!

Perfectos

Klingt toll, ist noch gut transportabel und im großen und ganzen auch stabil.Das Kabel direkt am Kopfhörer, das man an den Bass ansteckt ist allerdings arg dünn gehalten. Das hätte man gern etwas stabiler gestalten können.Der Sound vom zu verstärkenden Bass ist definiert satt und sehr direkt. Zum üben sehr angenehm.

Lo primero es que no entiendo la supuesta corta medida del cable que se lee en muchos comentarios por internet. Es más, veo imposible que alguien pueda ser tan alto o tocar tan abajo como para que pueda no tener que tener enrollado el cable sin que cuelgue por medio.También había leído algo sobre un ruido de fondo, pero es el típico efecto caracola de unos cascos bien aislados (quien haya probado los que usan en aviación sabe de lo que hablo).Tiene suficiente potencia como para lo que se pretende: escucharlos en solitario para no hacer ruido y no romperse los tímpanos. Un ecualizador de una sóla banda, que para la inmensa mayoría de bajos, que ya la trae de dos o tres, basta. Y no se nota pérdida de armónicos o compresión de onda perceptible para el oído de alguien amateur.La entrada aux es genial, incluso para quien lo use más para monitorizar con una mesa y algunos loopers, como yo. Aunque no son unos auriculares de estudio, ojo.El mayor inconveniente que le veo es su precio, ya que no dejan de ser unos auriculares enfocados principalmente para principiantes. Se asume que un profesional se va al local, al estudio o tiene un cuarto insonorizado en casa.

Un prodotto che devo dire, mi ha veramente sorpreso per le caratteristiche che offre e per il rapporto qualità prezzo che reputo davvero molto interessante.Fondamentalmente, si tratta di un simulatore di amplificatore all'interno di un paio di cuffie le quali possono funzionare anche per un normale ascolto semplicemente attivando un interruttore. Ho acquistato il modello per il basso perché prevalentemente, pur suonando anche la chitarra, suono questo strumento e quindi volevo essere tranquillo nel poter utilizzare lo stesso tipo di cuffie senza grossi problemi per entrambe le situazioni e devo dire, che sono davvero rimasto sorpreso sia per la qualità sonora, sia dalla qualità costruttiva (non a caso affidata a un marchio come Audio-technica che di cuffie se ne intende).Di tanti accessori in commercio, se vogliamo studiare in tutta tranquillità, davvero mi rimane difficile pensare a qualcosa di più pratico e con questo prodotto Vox ha centrato perfettamente l'obiettivo. L'unico difetto che è riscontrabile, come già segnalato da altri clienti nelle loro recensioni, il cavetto che è un po' troppo sottile ma aldilà di questo, per quanto riguarda la parte della simulazione per i suoni di basso, devo dire che mi ha davvero piacevolmente sorpreso: i controlli funzionano bene ed è possibile ottenere un buon suono senza aspettarsi qualità ultra professionali ma potendo contare su una buona resa sonora, suoni sufficientemente corposi e la comodità delle cuffie stesse....Un prodotto per quanto mi riguarda consigliatissimo

I use it to play my bass, and I am very satisfied with the product.It is easy to use and works perfectly
