I’d like to use the headphone-out on my NV112 while set up at the job. You know, where I have a few hours to practice before the gig or even to tune w/o being heard. Any headphones recommendation that is light, easily packed away and, hopefully, inexpensive?

Thanks.

Another vote for Sony. I use the MDR-7506 for recording.

I've used these for years and REALLY like them... if it wasn't for the abondance of ringing already present in my ears from a baZILLION years of working in too loud environments even with earplugs, I'd be using them more. These things really do sounds great.

I have a couple of the same Audio Technica headphones and really like them.
I have also just in the last two days got some AIAIAI wireless+ low latency headphones and really liking them, but not cheap.

One thing that is cool is an "over the ear" design that doesn't crush your outer ears -- makes wearing them for long periods comfortable. Audio Technica I know has some like these, not sure if the very-common Sony MDR's do. Just make sure to buy from a pro audio company (not a consumer company), because they will fix them if they ever break.

I recommend the Audio Technica over the Sony because the Sonys tend to have overhyped bass response. Even the AT 30's sound great, at a very affordable price.

AKG 240. I've used these for years. Sound good, inexpensive, reliable, don't crush your ears. You can wear them for hours.

I've tried different brands - did not like the lower-priced Audio-Technicas that much. Recently needed a cheap replacement and bought Samson SR 850's. These are the deal! Only $35 and they sound as good as the much more expensive old Sennheisers I have. The Sennheisers are a little more comfortable with the oval pads, but I wear the Samson's for hours each day (2 musicians in one house, and better sound than what the the computer speakers put out).
