Comfortable, blocks out harsh noise, and sounds pretty good! The vic firth's are good when you need to block out noise to protect your hearing, but you can't always hear everything that's going on quite as well - and that becomes a problem in some situations. Ideally you want a good balance of things. Originally Posted by amdrummer. Sennheiser Pro headphones here. The cups rotate so the unit is collapsible and lay flat.

The sound is very clear and accurate. They are up to 32db of ambient noise attenuation. They are very comfortable which allows me to wear them for a very long time with no discomfort. I like the way they make my kit sound while wearing them as well. Nice long cord. I have both types that Vic Firth offers, the ones that are simply for hearing protection and the wired ones to listen to music with as well.
I got a few years out of the wired ones, but something went wrong with the wiring. I have an inexpesive pair of earbuds that hook behind the ears that I use when out riding my bike, so I put these on and then the unwired protective ones over.
It works for me. A simple, elegant design is good engineering. Join Date Nov Location 41 degrees south Posts 7, Logitech Ultimate Ears 's here. Join Date Aug Posts 5. Headphones for Drummers.

Right now, the cable is being replaced because there's a short or something, and if Shure's customer support wasn't so great I wouldn't be happy about that. But I have used these headphones a ton , so I expected something wrong to happen eventually. The wires are detachable from the headphone itself so they can be stored properly and replaced easily.

I mean it is such an affordable product. With cheap pricing comes cheap build quality. While I might not be one to purchase these, they are a decent pair of headphones for a beginner player. The only thing that really worries me, though, is the fact that so many people have had issues with the speakers cutting out after only a little use. Now, it could just be that this large number of people are all terrible when handling their gear.
I think we found a winner for the best overall drum isolation headphones. Vic Firth has been making this style of headphones for as long as I can remember. They were the first set of isolation headphones I got when I was learning how to play the drums. The newest version, the V2, reduce is outside Noise by 25 decibels. Has a frequency response of 20 Hertz to 20 kilohertz. When I originally owned my pair Vic Firth isolation headphones, I never thought the sound quality was that great.
This is where these headphones truly shine. Despite only being rated at 25 decibels of reduction , the Vic Firth headphones managed to isolate far better than any of the other headphones on the list. I think it has something to do with how the headphones make contact with your ears and your head. As I stated earlier I do like using in-ear monitors far more , and this is one of the reasons why.
With any set of headphones, there usually will be some fatigue on the part of your ears and head. This is one of the things that drove me nuts about these when I was learning drums so many years ago. These isolation headphones are a winner in my book and I believe that they are the best and value quality of anything on the list.
That is our Roundup list of headphones for drummers! Please let me know if you have a set of headphones that you think should be on this list that I missed. Thank you so much!! Maybe these ones: Vic Firth Kidphones?? Kidphones are great! BUT, a workaround would be to use Apple Airpods or any other type of earbuds first, before putting the Kidphones on.
So, basically he would wear them underneath the Kidsphones. Hi, thanks for the reviews. A key factor for me is how my drumkit sounds whilst wearing the headphones ie what tonal balance and quality reaches my ears from the acoustic drumkit. For example, I invested in a pair of the Direct Sound headphones and they are unusable because they let in such a weird balance of frequencies from the drumkit, and actually make my rack toms appear louder than with the headphones removed!
It would be great if your reviews commented on the quality and tonal balance of the drumkit sound leaking into the ear through the headphones. Hope that makes sense! Any comments?.. I actually mentioned this point when I talked about my pair of Direct Sound headphones.
Out of all the headphones on the list, the one pair the isolates the most and sounds the best, is the GK Ultraphones. But if you want even more isolation, I recommend trying a pair of in ear monitors, like the Shure SEs.
I just found your site, this article and joined your facebook page. I like what I see, thanks for doing it. Lately I always have them cranked up all the way which concerns me. So I have been looking for some headphones to do the job of reducing the volume of the tubs so I can turn the music down. However I think I found a temporary work around with your response to Samantha and her 6 year old. I can grab a pair of shooters or racers earmuffs and put them over my existing ear buds.
Tone may not be the best but they will protect my ears while I find a better option. And they are cheap. And I thought GK was the superior one? While SEs have better isolation as many earbuds will , none of the Shure stuff has any low end at all. The Shure cables also break a LOT. Thanks for the feedback, Sid. I should dive back in and make this a little less confusing. I completely agree with you. I did add them in later on, so I may have missed that point in regard to the EX It depends on the performer, their movement, and how they take care of their gear.
Started playing with JamKazam in response to the pandemic. Playing a NC acoustic kit. What headphones would work best with this type set up, with mix coming over computer from other players in other cities. Thanks for the run down it got me thinking about what I actually need verses what I wanted. I have found that where several of these phones are good for recording and track overlays what I actually need at the moment is a set of blue tooth headphones with the noise-isolation.
