Hello All,
We recently picked up some Bose Triport ($149) headphones for my son to use with his computer, iPod and Marshall electric guitar amp.
These headphones sound absolutely awesome when used with the computer and iPod but my son says the music really sounds terrible when plugged into his guitar amp. He said the bass is lost and the whole thing sounds tinny. Are there special headphones for strict use with amps or are we missing some sort of "box" between the two? Also if there are special headphones can you all make a recommendation? Thanks

This is normal, as speakers play such a big role in electric guitar sound. Hifi headphones are supposed to reproduce sound as linear as possible, guitar amp speakers are NOT supposed to work linearly, but colour the sound.
