I use headphones that have their own preamp that sound good and aren't terribly expensive.

I'm in the exact same boat. I do two things. First one sounds exactly like what you're looking for. Vox amphones https://www.amazon.com/VOX-AMPHONESBASS-Active-Amplifier-Headphones/dp/B009703PZG
The other thing I use is a tenor ukulele I tune like a bass. I use this more often because it's smaller and because I can learn a song inside out since I can play chords and all other parts.
I'd recommend this instead, unless you need the extra outputs: http://www.amazon.com/AP2BS-amPlug-Bass-Guitar-Headphone/dp/B00NAUKJTY
Plugs straight into the bass so less cables and more portability (powered by 2x AAA), has a tone control, and even a built-in drum loop/metronome with its own volume/tempo control. The metronome tempo is controlled with the volume knob and there's no display so you can't really get a specific tempo, but it's certainly more functional than a regular headphone amp, and probably sounds better.
There's also these if you want to go a step further and put the amp into the headphones: http://www.amazon.com/VOX-AMPHONESBASS-Active-Amplifier-Headphones/dp/B009703PZG
Haven't tried them but the headphones are made by Audio Technica so they're probably decent.
Yeah, Vox makes them in that format specifically for bass as well as a headphone version that runs under $100.
Long ago, Fender made these micro amps. I still have a guitar one that works just as well for bass if I need it to. Very limited features, naturally.
Have you tried the Vox Amphonebass? My brother got some for Christmas last year, and I used them with my 18v Active 5str. The sound was considerably better than the average set of headphones. You can probably check them out at a music store.
