Does anybody know of a good pair of headphones that can handle playing thru the Mustang IV? I currently have a pair...'the stretch'.. They are pretty comfortable and whatnot, but they are obviously weak b/c Ive been using them for a few weeks and they already sound like $@!& when I use them thru the amp. Am I gonna have to spend a paycheck on a pair of headphones? Very frustrating. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

There are no headphones in existence that will sound just like your external speaker because of the physics beside sound propagation through the air medium, the size of the speaker cone and diaphragm, and the size/power of the driver coil and magnet. Overdriven sounds with the headphones are going to sound harsher and more brittle. Cleans will sound ok.

That being said, get a good pair of "monitoring headphones." These are the kind that people use with their mixing boards so they can hear what the sound mix sounds like while putting together music. They usually have a decently wide frequency range. I bought a set of them for my own use with my Mustang II and Mustang V and I'm VERY pleased with the result. I can also use them for playing Modern Warfare 3 at night so I don't disturb people trying to sleep. It's quite awesome.

The ones I have are: SONY MDR-V600 Dynamic Stereo Headphones.

Hope this helps.
