Right, it's 1:15am, I can't sleep and I'm in the mood to play guitar, for some reason. However, I can't because some awkward people in the next room have to get up for work tomorrow morning.

*Shakes fist*

My options for headphones at the moment are a pair of sony in-ears and an old AKG pair that came with our stereo - previously alright, but has now lost the left channel entirely. Even so, neither of these really had the frequency response I would have liked, and made playing something to endure rather than to enjoy.

*Shakes fist harder*

I need recommendations of a good pair to use, just for playing guitar late night. Not talking top of the range, budget's a bit stretched with holiday fast approaching, but I can try to put aside whatever money it needs to give me some clarity back trying to play a nice quiet 3am version of Down Down Down or Trademark with some definition in the notes and without horrendous buzzing..

Any ideas people? Not a clue where to start looking myself..

Right, now sorry to be awkward, but anything more specific than "big ones"? :D Damn I hate not having the slightest clue.

I just don't like the feel of in ears, I might give some a try, but would prefer something a bit more solid really..

Big ones that come with an equaliser box so that you can get the sound coming through how you want and take the edge off.
