Re: on-stage personal monitoring...loop-related, i assure you
Has anyone tried or used these headphones?

I'm also thinking of using headphones for monitors when I play live, as
it seems totally hit or miss as to whether or now you're going to get
any monitors at all at some venues. After specifically asking a stage
manager at a huge show, "Will there be monitors for the bands?" and was
told yes, there was a "killer system." I found out that the DJ oriented
show had *no* monitor system at all and it was very hard to hear
ourselves.
