Evening all, looking for a bit of a steer. I’ve mostly been playing a HX stomp through headphones recently due to trying to avoid waking the baby. I managed to get half an hour when I had the house to myself and turned my Kemper on and played through studio monitors. I don’t think I expected such a huge difference, I even felt like I could play better! I don’t know anything about headphones - the ones I have I understand are good-ish, maybe a little old, and I think are closed back Shures. I’d like to ask whether there is a certain type or model of headphone that is best for modellers and that can achieve something closer to the “amp in the room” sound? A quick look online seems to suggest open back headphones but any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated! Cheers!

This is basically the best way to buy headphones. That or try some and return them if you don’t like them.

Sonarworks sell correction software for headphones. Their reviews of headphones seem unbiased, and reviews of phones that I have used have all seemed right to me.
They don't cover every model but they cover a lot.
