Headphones..going quiet

I'm not an audiophile, but bigger, around-the-ear headphones are what I use. Mine are Bose noise cancelling, but decent studio headphones will be better than high-end ear buds. 

I suspect that the bigger question is what you put between the microphone and headphones. I use a Zoom multi-effects pedal. It's what I use with my band for live performances anyway. Super convenient (but not super authentic if you want traditional amplified blues). But, maybe you already have that part figured out.  

Hi,

this is something where I can help!

I can recommend the beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro, that's what I use, and they are a standard in the recording and mixing world.

I use a Tech21 FlyRig for amp simulation, but they run quite expensive, so a Joyo American sound would be a (much) cheaper option.

With both, you'd need a separate headphone amplifier.

Some multi-effect pedals from Zoom (and probably other companies) also have a built-in headphone out.

I use an Alesis iO2 recording interface as headphone amp, with which I can also play backing tracks into the headphones and record my playing.

Cheers
