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

What kind of marshall amp is it?
Does it have a dedicateed, LABELED "headphone" socket?
If not and he is plugging his headphones into the speaker out or effects loop, that amp isn't going to last long -read explosion.
You can get a DI box or alike that will go inbetween the amp and the speaker cabinet and has a headphone out.
