VOX Unveils VGH Series Bass Amplifier Headphones
VOX has unveiled a new series of headphones crafted for playing instruments. The VGH Series of guitar amplifier headphones comes in three models, including the bass-specific VGH-Bass, that expand on VOX’s amPlug series. Each set can also be used as a standard pair of headphones when the power is turned off.
“The three models in the lineup each feature their own sonic variations,” VOX explains. “…the VGH-BASS is suited for bassists, providing a sound with a wide dynamic range that still achieves enough volume to please discerning players.” The bass model also includes a built-in compressor that can be adjusted for tone-shaping.
The closed-ear headphones also have an auxiliary input for jamming along to other devices.
The VOX VGH-BASS headphones will be shipping in March with a street price of $99.99.
