As much as we love playing electric guitar and bass as loud as we possibly can without rupturing eardrums, not everyone in the vicinity is likely to enjoy it quite so much – but fortunately there are a wealth of guitar amp headphones solutions for silent practice, and many are discounted in the tidal wave of Cyber Monday guitar deals.

There are two main types of guitar amp headphones: headphones that include fully featured guitar amps, such as Boss’s class-leading Waza-Air offerings; as well as devices that plug straight into your guitar and offer headphone outputs for use with your regular cans – Fender’s Mustang Micro is a particularly feature-loaded example.
