Pod XT Headphone monitoring issue - Quality


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Ive recently dug my Pod XT our from the cupboard as I’m making a concerted effort at getting back into guitar playing.

 

Im running it through my KRK monitors and it sounds great, but when I’m playing late at night I’m trying it through my headphones. I’ve tried some Bose headphones, Senheisser and some Shure IEM’s...the XT sounds way compressed, honkey and crappy. Like absolutely terrible.

 

Does anyone have any experience with this and/ or a solution please? I wasn’t sure if the X3 or HD500 are any better. Please help!!

I plugged my headphones into my POD XT Live and it sounds fine. Maybe your level is set too low or too high. Are you using an adapter to plug in the phones? 

 

Keep in mind that a big part of an electric guitar's sound comes from the amp's speaker and the room acoustics. It's not going to sound the same coming out of a 1 or 2 inch headphone speaker.
