I mainly end up playing on my laptop, with earphones in.

Can anyone recommend good earphones for playing rocksmith bass?

Less noise leak is better (so my wife can't hear).

 

Thanks in advance

 

 

 

I went this route for 'silent' playing.  Plugs right into headphone jack and they sound great, no lag.  They have an open and closed model.  Plus no headphone wire to get in the way.

Go with closed models then (instead of open or semi-open). 

What's your budget?

If you're on a pretty tight budget, look into a set of these.  I bought them at a Walmart while I was on the road for work for ~$40.

 

They're on-ear, which is my only complaint with them.  I prefer over-ear.  I picked them up to use with an old headphone amp I have.  Low frequencies are not an issue for them.  Low-B on a 5-string bass with decent volume without any distortion.

 

I will say that they're not as good coming from my PC.  Whether that's because the lower power output from my computer speakers' headphone jack, or the EQ on my PC I don't know.  But they definitely don't rattle my skull like they do coming from my headphone amp, but they're adequate given the price.

 

I'm not recommending them as the end-all, be-all.  Especially if you've got a significantly larger budget.  But bang-for-the-buck, I've been pretty happy with them and I know they'll produce damn-good bass if fed a decent signal.
