advice for headphones?


I am currently using a focusrite scarlett solo and an amp sim for playing. The problem is that the headphones i have (sony wh-900xb) are very focused on extra bass and i really dont like the way it sounds. I ordered the beyerdynamic dt770 pro but i returned it because it was quite uncomfortable, my ear was just a tiny bit to big so the padding was touching my ear.

What headphones are well suited for guitar? i also would like to use them for normal use (mostly youtube videos and some gaming).

I live in the netherlands if that matters for availability

Depends on what's your budget..in general, when choosing headphones for guitar playing, you'll want headphones that provide a balanced and accurate representation of the audio, especially for guitar tones. And comfort is also important, especially if you plan to use them for extended periods.

I'd recommend these:

Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro (super comfy)
Sennheiser HD 660 S (bought them from chi-nese website back in 2021 and they do the job even now in 2023)
Audio-Technica ATH-M50x (my very first headphones, probably the best ones)

I would recommend trying them out before making a final decision, meaning buy them from a brick-and-mortar store instead of online..
