Headphones question
I was playing bass at a session yesterday and ended up with a pair of Sharpe
660-D headphones. These are an archaic set from the seventies, but I loved them. I've never heard the Bass better through headphones. I think part of the trick was the huge solid earcup, and they clamped on my head like a pair of lampreys, so isolation was excellent. Perhaps some folks would find them uncomfortable, but they worked for me. Would anyone know of these headphones, and/or possibly recommend something current that would be similar? The kicker was that the studio owner told me they were $5 at a yard sale. NeilN |

Plenty of these must still be kicking around, although finding them in good shape might be a problem. Koss used to refurbish them under a lifetime warrently, but apparently they've stopped doing that. If you can find a pair, they should give you the same fit and satisfaction as the Sharpe. |
