I was looking at that a little, it’s something I’m totally unfamiliar with. i saw some real nice ones on Amazon but a bit pricey for me. I love the transmitter as a solution though.

And I think we have a consensus that Bluetooth is some bullshit

I have some AGK 550’s I’ve had for over 20 years. Changed the pads a couple of time. When they pack up I might try bluetooth as I have lekato wireless for my bass

I generally dislike wireless anything, mostly because I hate having to manage batteries all the time. Sometimes it’s just how it is, like my headphone amp is obviously battery powered. But the headphones I use with it aren’t. Plus most things in the realm of music have 1/4" or 1/8" headphone jack and no direct wireless support.
Not using any fancy headphones though, just a Corsair gaming headset that I already had. Thinking about the Sony MDR-7506 to replace them but it’s not a priority, the gaming headset sounds good enough to me for practice and casual use. And for my headphone amp I use a $20 pair of Sony earbuds.

I use a pair of Sennheiser HD620s.
I really don’t like earphones, even with brands with several differents buds i find it a bit uncomfortable at best, painful at worst.

The only problem with 250 ohm can is the volume level despite the 102 db level of sensitivity. Most Bass amp or even mixer will not have enough headphone amp power to drive power hungry headphone and the bass signal is the first casualty. To give you a reference most headphones are under 32 ohm. that’s one of the main reasons that I never use my 300 ohm Sennheiser HD 6XX. Those hard to drive Cans are not the problems for me anymore but I have additional gears to aid that.
You can always use the IEM. there are too many to recommend and for bass practice you don’t need anything too fancy. A few great ones are as cheap as $5 on AliExpress or less than $10 on Amazon. I rotate my $50 and $100 IEMs for my gig.
If you want to get into the IEM just let me know I’ll break them down, be warned when you take the red pill the rabbit hole can get crazy,

Let me introduce you guys to some real Schiit.
I’ve owned the Vali. Will have no problem with 600Ω cans.
FWIW all mixers and most midrange audio interfaces should drive 250Ω pretty well. mine does.

Wireless for the bass/amp connection for sure. I went wireless for that connection about a month ago. Should’ve done it from day 1. That’s at least 1 less cable.

I use Sennheiser Momentum closed - superb sound (and build) quality, and with the options of wireless (with noise reduction) or wired. Not cheap but worth the investment for practice and music listening. Side issue - I recently digitized my entire vinyl and cd collection with a Korg ADC/DAC unit onto a 2Tb SSD with high sampling rate - superb quality and just so convenient.

Sennheiser 599 Open Back.
2+ hours a day for over 4 years. Super comfortable. On Sale
I have 2 sets that I use for bass and some Vic Firth isolation phones for drums. I use Sony 7506 studio monitors and Sennheiser HD280 Pro. All are wired. None of my bass sources have Bluetooth. I have a pair of the Vic Firth wireless that have been relegated to cutting grass. FWIW, I replaced the disintegrating ear cushions on the Sennheiser’s with some Amazon knockoffs and they actually sound much better now!
The headphones I use are just what I’ve had around, and they are…wait for it…my 39 year old Sony Studio Monitors that I bought in Tampa in the 80s, when I was dinking around with keyboards. They still sound great, and I think I’ve gotten my money’s worth out of them.

If it was a MDR-V6 you really cannot top them. I sold mine used for something like $15 less than I paid for them new after 13 years of use

They are the Sony MDR-V6 Studio Monitors. I picked them up the year they were introduced. Somewhere around 1985-86.
