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 the 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 possibly recommend something
current that would be similar?

The kicker was that the studio owner told me they were $5 at a yard sale.


My Sony MDR-7506s have me diving for the power amp switch late at night,
because I can feel the house moving and my trousers flapping. But when I
tear of the phones, I find the speakers are indeed not on at all.
