How Do I Connect Wireless Headphones To A Pod Hd500 Guitar Processor

What are the best headphones to plug into a guitar amp? What headphones best reproduce the sound created by your amp?

As others have noted, with a few exceptions, the headphone out jacks on guitar amps don't emulate the sound of your speaker, so what you get in your headphones is pretty clinical, at best. There are some amps these days that include speaker emulation in their headphone outs. I think most of the Roland Cube series have this feature. Another option is to use a guitar/computer digital interface. I have an old Line6 TonePort UX2 (they rebranded it POD Studio, at some point) with an excellent headphone out and lots of amp/cab/mic models that is perfect for practice and, even, near-silent recording. I used to practice and record a lot in the dead of the night with this thing, while my wife and infant son slept. But this requires a computer and a free USB port, so it might not be what you're looking for. As another offbeat option, my Digitech JamMan Studio has, in addition to its looping abilities, a dedicated headphone out, along with volume controls for the instrument and loop. And it's perfectly good for practicing (and you can run the rest of your pedals into it, to shape your sound). It's not as versital as the Line6, but it's still pretty solid, and it keeps you from having to get a laptop involved (which I prefer to avoid).Guitar Center has a category for headphone amps:http://m.guitarcenter.com/Catego...

Why do my ears hurt while wearing headphones?

There are several possible reasons:For any kind of headphones - excessive volume. The pain threshold is about 125 dB, which is the same volume as a balloon popping. Sustained exposure to sounds this loud can lead to long-term effects.Also for any kind of headphones - excessive treble. Related to excessive volume, if a pair has a particularly crisp high treble range, it can be literally fatiguing to listen for long periods of time. Especially if you listen at moderately loud volumes. This is why Sennheiser tends to roll off the high treble frequencies in their headphones.For in-ear headphones - too-large ear tips. Pretty simple concept; if you’re trying to jam earphones into your ears that are too large, they’ll be very uncomfortable. Most IEM’s come with at least 3 sizes of ear tips, so try going one size smaller.For on-ear headphones - well…. discomfort is kind of normal. I’d expect all on-ear headphones to be slightly uncomfortable for everybody. But they’ll be especially uncomfortable if they have a particularly strong clamping force or insufficient padding on the earcups, or if you just have larger ears (like me).For over-ear headphones - poor fit. If they’re uncomfortable, you should probably get larger headphones. Strong clamping force can also contribute, but I don’t see this as a major issue here.At the end of the day, headphones should be comfortable. If they’re physically painful to wear, you need better headphones. I, as I’ve mentioned earlier, have unusually large ears, which require particularly large earcups.With that said, I’ve had the Sennheiser HD 598 SE for a year, and the HD 598 Cs for a week, and both have exceptionally large earcups that fit my ears comfortably, plus a fairly light clamping force. I can use both for several hours on end with no noticeable fatigue.For contrast, my previous daily driver headphones, some on-ear wireless headphones from Urbanears, had a particularly strong clamping force and unexceptional ear cushions, which made them hurt after just 20–30 minutes of use.Regardless of your ears, you should be able to find headphones that fit comfortably. It might take a bit of research, but it’s totally worth it in the end.

What is your favorite gadget of 2018?

Hands down, the Apple Watch 4.Quoted directly from Apple’s website:Series 4 represents a fundamental redesign and re‑engineering of Apple Watch. From the curved corners of the larger, all‑new display to the architecture of the S4 chip, every detail has been thoughtfully considered. Apple Watch has always been a uniquely personal product. And now it’s even more powerful.The display. It’s one of the most elegant looking displays you can find on a smartwatch. It uses a technology on the top of the OLED called LTPO which improves the power efficiency of the device, allowing you to get 18 hours of usage on a single charge despite a smaller battery in a thinner chassis.Digital Crown. This small tiny crown has been made 30 percent smaller than previous generation yet includes 21 more components.ECG feature.This is my favourite feature of the Apple Watch 4. The ECG(Electrocardiogram) feature isn’t just there for kicks and giggles. It actually works as intended and is accurate!S4 chip. A groundbreaking, revolutionary chip with a 64 bit architecture and dual cores, it provides 2x faster performance to it’s predecessor, the S3. Let me show you something.Ok we may not have an Apple Watch benchmark, but holy shit I can do 60fps physically-based Metal rendering and realtime physics on the Series 4 ? pic.twitter.com/GXza08pgIP— Steve Troughton-Smith (@stroughtonsmith) October 2, 2018
Even after performing the above CPU-intensive task, it uses only 64% of the CPU itself!The developer also mentioned to get such performance, he needs an iPhone 6S or newer which just blows my mind to even think how fast the S4 SiP(System in package) is!Overall, this was my favourite Apple and tech gadget of 2018. There were many other that did blow me away like the Oppo Find X, the Vivo Nex, OnePlus 6T, Mate 20 Pro and as such but no other device had me as fascinated as this.Hope that answers your question.
