CAD Audio DH100 Drummer Isolation Headphones, Black, Large diameter

These headphones are old school CooooooL retro style which is what i like about them. VERY, VERY good external sound isolation, not sound cancelation! You can't hear shit with these things on which means you have to lift the no-lead side ear cup to converse with anyone. But thats fine. i don't want to talk much any way while doing music. Very comfortable, especially if you have large ears or sensitive ears that get sore from direct pressure contact against them, like mine. I HATE things pushing against my ears and bending the shit out of them! Your ear sits completely inside the cups so you can wear them for hours no worries. I play bass guitar using these headies and they have REALLY good bottom end audio frequency ranges and top ends are very solid also. The input jack has a neat wind on wind off set-up, with the 3.5 mini jack inside the main jack for ipods or tablets, or what ever. The Single sided lead is way better than those left and right Y shaped leads that get in the f.....g way for everything and anything! Downsides? The only one i could think of was the curly spring jack lead, while VERY stretchy, it's too short for walking ALL around a room playing guitar, but its perfect for MOST uses because it doesn't tangle around your feet trying to trip you over at only 18-24 inches long unstretched. They'd probably work perfectly for an ipod while walking, running or riding a bike but you wont hear shit from outside of these things so don't get run over. Quality? Yep! Way better construction than my mid level Sennheisers, which were made of 100% cheapo crapy plastic but still sounded good. These are quality WELL beyond the measley price asked for them and represent great value for people who aren't suckers for similar high performance headphones from trendy Corporate branded marketing hype products at 7-10 times the price. Get'em!

So far these have been a lifesaver. I play in a small church and prior to these I had a small monitor set up next to me, but since the monitor would rattle that snare, they always turned off the monitors in between worship, and sometimes forgot to turn them back on. We didn't want to spend a lot of money, but these guys in combination with a small headphone amp ended up working out great. I get great isolation, can hear anything mic'd quite well, and if it weren't for my twitchy sound team, you should have to only get your sound mix set up once. In terms of comfort, I don't mind wearing them at all, even though at most I wear them for an hour. There is maybe a small amount of sweat build up, but not overly excessive. The headphones haven't moved around on me while playing which is great since that's one less thing to worry about and they seem to be built well. The only downside could be that there might bit a bit too much sound isolation. Sometimes hearing the un-mic'd crowd can be nice, but I guess that's what I should expect with "Isolation headphones".

I bought these to replace a defective set of Vic Firth drumming headphones that one side suddenly stopped working after being well taken care of for two years. I figured these were cheaper, and would be worse quality, but the price was right. I was amazed with these. They are WAY more comfortable, way louder, and isolated more of the outside world than the Vic Firth headphones by far! The Vic Firth ones were bulky, would pull away from my ears when I turned my head, and the headband was very uncomfortable. These CAD DH100 headphones are a great deal, and I just hope they last longer than the Vic Firth ones did. They cost way less, have very good audio quality and are well worth the price!

[Updated]: I've only had these for 2-3 months, and the left headphone's audio has started dropping out now and then, especially when the cord is moved. I'm not sure whether it's the wire connection or the speaker itself, but it's silly to have to repair a product after only 3 months of use. You get what you pay for here, or rather you don't get what you don't pay for. I have been playing pretty loud music through them, but nowhere near full volume. I purchased these headphones for drum and bass guitar practice, and they're a fantastic deal! They're about $100 less expensive than a lot of the other options out there. They block just the right amount of decibels for hearing protection and are great for private practice sessions. They look great and are well made; the cord is especially nice. They adjust in size, but I would stay away from them if you have a large head or ears. I'd say that I have an average size head and ears, and they are a tight fit on me; they start to become uncomfortable after about two hours of use. I can take them off for a few minutes, and they're comfortable again. The reviews about bad equalization are true; the bass is pumped, the mids are boosted, and the treble is weak. This makes them great for practicing bass guitar. However, if you're looking for something to produce music with or just to enjoy some records with, you want to look elsewhere. If you just need some practice headphones, these are a great buy. You can hear your metronome or track just fine. Also, there's no bleeding - great for recording.

I purchased these headphones specifically for use with an Alesis electronic drum kit. The positives are the sounds from the phones, nice lows and mids, were very good in a low cost headset for an electric set when first purchased. In addition the noise cancelling feature really dropped background noise to a minimum and eliminated any sounds of the sticks hitting the pads. The negative is that these headphones broke down after just a month of used (~1hr per day). The wire coming into the set has a very poor connection that leads to static in the head set and one or both of the cans losing sound. Highly frustrating when you are playing and really unacceptable performance after just a month of use.

I have been using these headphones for over two years now and they have proven out to be much better than expected at their rated 19db attenuated isolation along with their decent sound quality at a very low input volume from my tuner. I read the reviews before purchasing them and am quite impressed with their performance all around. I play recreational drums and have compromised my hearing over the years from loud noise environments and these phones help isolate external noise quite well for in home playing behind recordings at very low headphone input volume levels. They fit comfortably while being firm and are priced very reasonable and have been dependable without any problems and prevent further damaging my hearing which is my ultimate goal while still being able to enjoy my love for music and drums!

For the price, these really can't be beat. They offer good isolation and they have a pretty good length of cord attached. Sound quality could be better, but that's not really the main purpose when buying sound reducing headphones. My only real complaint is that they're not very comfortable. My ears will start to hurt after about 30 minutes of wearing them.

They are a bit tight on my large skull. I stretched the head band and they feel pretty good now. Also the ear pads are a bit thin. I bought some large aftermarket ons and used some double stick tape to stick them over the old ones. Now they feel good. They do isolate well. Not perfect, but cheap and good.

W pudełku znajduje się ostrzeżenie, że produkt zawiera BPA, które jest szkodliwe dla zdrowia. Akurat to, na co szkodzi będzie mi potrzebne :]

Estos han sido los audifonos que mejor manejan el balance al momento de practicar la bateria. Son de buena calidad, mejoraron la hechura con respecto al par que habia comprado hace algun tiempo. Los recomiendo.

The first pair I got were broken. Amazon were quick to issue me with a replacement, but it shook my faith in the company a little to think that their products are sent out untested. The second pair I recieved work well and cancel the noise of my kit well. They make is easy to learn songs play along with intricate things such a ghost notes without drowning them out. As with most noise-isolating 'over the ear' headphones, they do pinch my head and sweat my ears after a while, but I far prefer that to them sliding about and allowing too much sound in. My concern for the future is that the metal fastening the over'head strap to the actual speakers seems quite flimsy and I can see the fit deteriorating over time. Price-wise, I feel I got what I paid for, really.

Possesseur d'une batterie electronique Roland,TD15kv semi pro, je trouve que la restitution des sons est excellente, pas de saturation à haut volume.

Questo acquisto l'ho fatto per un ragazzo che suona la batteria e ha confermato che sono ottime per chi suona la batteria . Sono arrivate tre giorni dopo l'acquisto ,vengono confezionate bene arrivano intatte ,quindi se volete delle cuffie buone ve le consiglio .
