Extremelly isolated headphones

[Pedro Teixeira]

HEy dudes,

I need to get a couple of the most isolated headphones I can get, I've head the Vic Firth ones are good, but what have you guys used and can recommend?

Anything used for drum production,they gotta have some tight tight headphones.

the vic firths, i have read,despite the better 24db rating, are suited to solo/practice. The 20db rated ultra's are supposedly better at sessions, recording, all that.

http://www.gk-music.com/ The ultraphones are going to be on top here.

VIC FIRTH SIH 1

I also just know the Vic Firth, and they are goddamn TIGHT.

My drummer is a heavy equip. mechanic by day.....and we use his set of ear muffs. They have a switch which activate the reduction circuit, and then there is a mp3 1/8" input....which we run into from the headphone amp.....when recording acoustic kit.....he can barely hear his kit (its a milestone fiberglass kit = LOUD), and only can hear through the muffs. It works excellent, and the sound quality is top notch too....mind you he payed close to $300 CAD for them.

I'll try to get the make for you and post it

Cheers!

Extreme isolation is a better choice. My Vic Firth is falling into pieces for no reasons after about 3 years of use. I took good care of it.

no changes here I also vote Vic firth, I can put my amp pretty loud, move the mic around whilst im next to it and hear the tonal differences, wouldn't advise for mixing or anything but they are good at hearing little details and being EXTREMELY isolated, they dig into my head a bit though haha

+1 on that. I have the vic firth ones and they took a shit on me in under a year. they do Isolate well but they sound thin and the build quality sucks.

another vote for extreme iso's over the vic firths - my vics died after a couple of months as well.

Sennheiser HD 280 are also good.
