Vox VGH AC30 Guitar Headphones with Effects
The VGH AC30 is a pair of guitar headphones rather than a headphone amp plus headphones. Vox's acclaimed amPlug technology is combined with Audio-Technica's headphone design, so the amp, the effects and the listening all happen in the one piece of kit. This model is voiced for iconic British Invasion tone.
- AC30 voicing: delivers the iconic British Invasion tone straight to your ears.
- Designed with Audio-Technica: headphone design from a specialist, for stellar sound quality.
- 3 amp modes: additional sonic variety beyond a single fixed sound.
- Onboard effects: chorus, delay and reverb on the Rock and AC30 models.
- Around 16 hours: from 3 AAA batteries.
- Durable, lengthy cable: enough length to move while you play.
- Low-noise practice: for late-night sessions and anywhere a full stack is out of the question.
Low-noise practice is a straightforward business with the Vox VGH Guitar Headphones. Vox took its acclaimed amPlug technology and combined it with Audio-Technica's headphone design, which means the amplifier and the headphones are one product rather than two things you plug together.
The AC30 model
Each VGH model carries a different voicing, and this one delivers the iconic British Invasion tone directly to your ears. It is the choice for players who want chime and jangle rather than modern gain when practising silently.
Amp modes and effects
Three distinct amp modes give additional sonic variety, so a single pair of headphones covers more than one sound. Onboard chorus, delay and reverb are fitted to the Rock and AC30 models, which is enough processing to make a practice tone feel finished rather than dry.
Sound quality
The Audio-Technica collaboration is the reason the audio side holds up. Practising through something that sounds thin encourages bad habits, and the point of the VGH design is that you practise the way you actually play.
Cable and battery
A durable, lengthy cable keeps you free to move rather than tethered to one spot. Power comes from 3 AAA batteries, giving approximately 16 hours of life, which covers a long stretch of late-night sessions or a period away from home.
