Headphone for Fender

[Peonahindian]

Hello everyone, I'm new here but I need your help, this weekend the whole family decided that they didn't really like my sound from the Fender 100 and made me play with headphones, I would like to get some good headphones to enjoy the sound but also not very expensive https://theguruchoice.com/headphones/best-headphones-for-guitar-amp/#akg-k240-studio They advise Audio-technica M50 and Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO
Does anyone use these? I would like to receive feedback about them, or tell us which ones you use up to $ 200

welcome.
I'm assuming you are talking about playing electric guitar into a Fender Champion 100 Amp?
The AKG K-240 monitor (only used available anymore) and the AKG K-271 are my choice for something like this.
Post well, post often!

K240 available on amazon too, I went to see comparisons of these 2 models. Thank u, krysh!

there were 2 former versions of the K-240: studio and Monitor. I'm talking about the vintage Monitor version. the today studio version sounds different.
but since you don't want others to hear what you hear, I recommend the closed K-271. a bit pricey but worth it as is the DT-770pro.
I also recommend to buy the velour earpads for the AKG, they are much more comfortable wearing them in long sessions.

Headphones are a hugely personal choice since they all have their own sound and response. Good headphones or "cans" to we headphone-nuts call them can quickly get stupidly expensive so unless you're doing critical listening you don't need to get too crazy.

Over-ear (circumnaural) headphones come in two flavors: open and closed. I greatly prefer open-back headphones because I like to hear what's going on around me, but this means that the sound leaks out as well. Closed-back headphones give greater immersion but I tend not to like them because they make my ears sweaty and uncomfortable after a while. They're much better for not annoying people nearby, though.

Be advised that headphones like the DT770 are hi-impedance and may not work well with all devices. A headphone amp can solve that problem but I'm not sure you want to go down that dark hole. If the amp can drive them then they're great headpones. If you plug them into something like an iPhone that's expecting low impedence (generally 32 ohms) then high-impedence cans will sound thin and weak or just won't have enough volume.

I tend to dislike round year cups and prefer the Sennheisers. I generally use HD600s for everything though I also have HD580s and HD650s that I love, too. Then again I also have too many headphone amps to count so I'm not a normal person.

Welcome. Stick around - nice bunch of folks around here.

I'm a fan of Grado headphones - owned every one up to and including the SR-325e in a never-ending procession of upgrades as my playback chain improved. All sounded excellent.

Grados have a very distinct sound that some love and some don’t. I personally am not a fan but those that love them tend to really love them.

Welcome! You must be better than me, my family doesn't like my sound no matter what amp I use...
