Headphones Question

[halind]

Hi, I was wondering what type of headphones would be suitable for hook-up to a guitar amplifier. Would any off-the-shelf kind of headphones work or are there any specific types ?

off the shelf headphones will not work.
you need those thick jacks.

Any headphone will do. Get a 1/4 inch converter to plug it into the amp.

So as long as it has a 1/4inch jack or a converter, the headphone should work ?

Thanks for the quick replies!

aim for one with at least 10 hz to 25 khz for better clarity

most amps would have input jacks that fit the 1/4" converter. I couldnt find a converter so i bought a set of TDK headphones that came with the converter from Courts at $30.

The converter costs like 2-3 bucks from Sim Lim.

Actually, "10Hz to 25kHz", which is the frequency range of the headphone, has nothing to do with clarity.
