mycx300's do a great job when drumming at insanely loud, my IE6's do an even better job.
westone um1's are great.
i also play drums with them. they are way dam comfortable to
yea? the cx's are the most comfortable i have ever worn. the IE6's just sound terrific, but they do hurt a bit when worn in the conventional way (they fall out if i wear them over my ears).
It's like a double-post that's not a double-post
^ Haha, aint that something. I thought no one had the same headphones, but i guess im not alone anymore.
Heh, tell me about it. These headphones rock.
They have moderate sound for general consumer phones, but for daily use (I work at a radio station) those were crap. I take very good care of my stuff and they lasted a couple months.
Also, I didn't like the fact that they didn't cover my whole ear, just pressed down my earlobe all around.
That's my $0.02. You can pick up a pair of Nadys at MusiciansFriends for $50 or something and they're much more comfortable, have a better range and have lasted me for three years and going strong.
I got Sony mdr-v150, but they are broken a little, also a bit too large for my head...
The denon D1001 would be perfect for you
The MDR-v150s are good for me because I go thru a couple pairs of headphones in a year (they either get dropped, cat rips the cord, or something, but they end up getting damaged), but these ones have gone a few months so far without getting scratched, let alone dropped. Next time I look at a pair ill check those out.
Here's the link if you're interested.
I bought my Sony pair at Walmart, which is knock-off quality in the first place, but being Sony I was very unimpressed.
My brother gave me the HD600s for my birthday, and they are far and away the best I have ever owned!
These ones:
They sound excellent. Unfortunately, the right ear phone stopped working and the left earphone shocks my ear.
So now I'm afraid to put the left earphone in my ear. I'm sending these back to vmoda. It's barely been three months since I've got it. Apparently, they break very easily. Shame because they have awesome sound, much better than the Apple in-ear ones.

+1. Shures have pretty good isolation. I've got a pair of SCL3s (e3cs) and the do a great job, the sound is good too (especially because I got them for $69
). IMO, not worth $200 street price. You can find some SCL4s on ebay for maybe $120.
Do you mind me asking, do they sound good? I mean, if I'm not a hardcore audiophile, would I notice a huge difference in SQ from say, the V-moda Vibes? Thanks.
