Got these from my wife for Christmas yesterday and hooked them up as soon as I could. The plastic is somewhat cheap but likely contributes to how light they are which is nice. The pros make this a great item, the cons I can live with.

Pros:

1) Amazing sound, I'm getting some really nice tone out of these with my LAG acoustic electric

2) They have the VOX AmPlug AC30 basics but add a tone control which I now wish the AmPlug AC30 had (I have that item too)

Cons:

1) The most significant issue is that there's little mention of the tone control in the manual. It is marked from 1-10 but there's no description for what the numbers represent. I have it set on 8 which sounds great but being a beginner I have no idea what mix of reverb, chorus, and delay I am hearing.

2) The cable is a little short and not at all heavy duty, I worry about snagging it and damaging it

3) The ear cups are round and only just big enough to fit me, wish they were slightly larger or elongated for a better fit

I recommend these and would buy another pair if they broke or were lost.

The Good : These headphones have a good sound, well for headphones I guess you could even say great. i have not owned an AC30 Vox amp so can't compare to the real thing.

They are also comfortable on your head & especially so on your ears the padding is very good.

Thats about it for the Good !

The Bad : The cable that connects these headphones to your guitar is way too short, it fits but it could have been another 2 feet long to make it more comfortable.

The control dials located on the left earphone piece are recessed and impossible to access while wearing them on your head. You have to take them off to alter then So Make Sure you're Wearing a Strap if You're playing Sitting Down ! also the cable ( again ) is connected to the left headphone piece, this means the cable has to go behind you or between you and your guitar.

If running it behind you its not comfortable its too short if running between you an guitar then it will pull on your headphones as it gets 'caught' as you lean forward then back.

It seems that the technicians that develop things , like headphone amplifiers , arern't guitar players themselves because for a right handed guitar player the cable should connect to the right side of the headphone piece. This wouls give an unhindered line from the guitar jack to the headphone ...but obviously thats too simple for the technicians at Vox. (btw it's ok for lefties as it is)

Overall I said it was okay, just ! For the price its not worth it at all though the Vox Amplug ( which I also have ) is a far better choice, you can use your own digital headphones which are probably heaps longer then the Vox AC30 AGH.

So save your money.

My advice to Vox ... find some technicians that actually play the guitar !

these are awesome! 99 bucks well spent. sounds better that my marshall 15 watt amp for the same price. there are lots of settings to screw with which makes for a very versitile array of noises (which noone can hear but you) . i can get a bluesy sound that is warm and bassy and harmonious or a wicked cruchy palm mute metal sound (that still has clarity to each note) and even the clean setting sounds amazing. the effects are ok so far not great but still fun. the best part is just walking around playing guitar really loud without bothering anyone.

Bad side is that the dials are hard to adjust. the effects dial beeps when it is changed but that doesnt matter because its very hard to find the dial while wearing the headphones. effects are chorus, delay and reverb. on the effects dial the chorus is like 1-3 delay 4-7 and reverb 7-10(which is not described in the instruction manual). also they are kinda ugly. they went for a modern-vintage look but achieved niether oh well.

So basicly if you buy these you will get amazing sounds pounding thru your sinuses which may cause involuntary orgasm of the acoustic variety but they are not slickly designed.

Bought these for my husband for his birthday. He loves them now more than he loves me. He says, "Excellent sound, very comfortable and work as advertised. Downside, the dials are difficult to turn while wearing them." (why he's wearing dials, I don't know)

These were bought as a gift for my husband. He absolutely loves them. Although we're saving up for a real guitar amplifier at Christmastime, I wanted to get him something to use in the meantime that didn't cost an arm & a leg. Apparently the sound that these headphones give off is very close to the original model Vox Amplifier. As a customer, I'm very appreciative of the workmanship & quality of the sound these headphones have to offer. I would definitely recommend this to any family or friend that is so musically inclined. Thanks, Vox :o)
