Positive Grid - Spark NEO

Get Positive Grid Neo ones. Bonus, you won’t need an amp for practice. Nor a cable.

Over budget, but so worth it: Positive Grid Spark Neo. The best practice headphones and amp combo ever.

Spark Neo headphones are fantastic. You don't need an amp, it's just headphones that you bluetooth pair with a phone and you get all the tones. On Amazon now for about £150. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dsj7fBQHqjE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dsj7fBQHqjE)

I got mine yesterday and put in nearly six hours in two practice sessions with them (I’m a bass player). My first impression is they are excellent! You get easily immersed using them, as they sound great, are very comfortable, and have excellent passive noise isolation. I had no idea I had played so long until I got hungry! They work just as well at the end of my pedal board signal chain too, if I want to control my tone just like I do onstage. They are a fantastic practice tool.

Oh yeah. Honestly, I use it for practice over 90% of the time. It’s immersive, comfortable and I can play anywhere and anytime without bothering anyone.

I work and live on a private sailboat. I’ve been using the Waza air and they are amazing. I have the Spark 40 on the boat too. If these new Spark headphones are anything like the Waza, they’ll be great. Have fun!

Pah! Of course, how else would they sell you more shit eh. I picked one up last week. I have to say this thing is pretty damn sweet! I am gonna sell my VOX amp and get a Spark 40 I think. Looks like I'm all in with Spark now lol

Well the Spark NEO is definitely a gadget. It's designed for bedroom practice IMO. And it's great at that. No need for amps, pedal boards etc. you can find your fave band's tones easy and jam along it's great.  For studio headphones you'd probably want to look at the Beyer dt770 or the AKG k371. But if you're  not mixing in a studio and you really just want some decent headphones to plug into an amp then I think the NEOs are fine for that. I'm not a purist, though
