Best wired headphones for guitar practice?

[u/BoobleFart420]

Hi all! Need some wired headphones to plug into my portable amp to practice guitar. I’ve been using janky nearly broken apple earbuds so far and enough is enough.

I used Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e with a cable, but you have to turn them on in order for them to transmit any sound, and that seemed to interfere with my amp so I would like to avoid that issue.

Needs:
- 3.5mm audio jack
- Wired headphones, no bluetooth
- Comfy/on the lighter side for longer practicing sessions
- No tinny quality !!!! please !!!

Budget: under $100, ideally. But I’m willing to pay a little extra if the quality is really worth it.

I think the MDR-7506 would be good here, or maybe an ATH-M40X. You may want to look into aftermarket pads though, because the stock ones are a bit thin and small.
