I m trying to find a set of head phones, that they had out years ago, that were amplified. I had a set, I bought from Radio Shack on or about 1985. Over the year one of the speakers went bad, and thinking I could just buy a new set, I threw them away. Stupid, well you can't. I have a 90% hearing loss in both ears, and it might save my marriage. (hahaha) I was able to practice my steel at night, without bothering my wife's sleep, and still hear my steel very clear. I have tried everywhere, regular headphones don't work. These were very simple. The ear piece cover the whole ear up, they had a 9V battery in the head band, with a on/off switch with the volume, and a stereo/mono switch. I don't care they work or not, I use to repair radios and TV's, in my younger days, and could fix them. I have checked the internet, and no luck. PSG with Tom Bradshaw with again no luck. Hopefully, someone may have a set they no longer need or use. I will buy them from you.

Vox make them. They have four models. The Twin "Gives you the clean sound of a classic US-made amp" so would probably be the best choice for pedal steel.

Or get a Vox Amplug and use it with any set of headphones. The "Clean" model seems most suitable.

Thank you, I will check them out. I can't remember if I check them before or not. Some can't sell phones with enough power to over come my loss. I hope they do.

Jim, are looking for headphones that you can plug right into the guitar? you don't really need to do that. Just get a simple, inexpensive small mixer and use any headphones with that. You can find a new one for 40-50 or a used one even cheaper.
go to google and search for "small audio mixer" you should several that will work for you. |

Bill, I never thought of that. I did check the VOX, they only sell through dealers, and there now even close to me. I have a mixer that I bought at Radio Shack around the same time. It's sitting on the shelf in the closet. Thank you. I guess as you get older you need a little jolt.
