Default Headphone practice dilemma

Hello fellow members, recently I started venturing into silent practice with my solid body instruments due to only having a chance to practice when my little ones are napping or sleeping, hence the need for "silent" practice.
This is ok but sometimes lacks excitement which leads to decreased creativity when playing.
So I thought "well, ill practice with headphones" and I started with something cheap. I got a Chinese knockoff of the vox amplug. I was after an acoustic model but was shipped an "English channel" version, which is supposedly a vox ac30. But it sounded terrible. Tons of hiss and unbearable tone. Yes I know you get what you pay for!

BUT, I accomplished two things. one, I found I like practicing through headphones.
Two, I need to find a quality setup to do it with, as I'm somewhat picky about having a clear sound.

I'm interested in hearing what suggestions you guys have to help me, especially those who have been down this road. All comments welcome!
