There are headphones designed for gamers, and studio professionals. Is it a reasonable assumption to say there are headphones made for electric guitarists? Or, are all those gamer headphones and studio professional headphones fabricated sales points? Why wouldn't a £280 pair of Sony WH100XM4 headphones be up to the job? What would be unique about the sound of an electric guitar that it warrants some special headphones? Surely, once a level of technological quality has been reached, say £280 worth, then those headphones can be used for accurate sound reproduction, right? Afterall, sound is sound, right? What don't I know about this topic of conversation, and need to learn, so I can answer these questions? Keep it civil, please. [Now he's gonna get it!]

I assumed that the Sony WH100XM4 headphones would be suited for playing an electric guitar, as they are rated highly among over-ear headphones, however, I saw a pair of headphones that were touted as being designed for playing electric guitars that cost less than Sony's and we're highly rated. What's going on?
