Practice headphone recommendations

Posts: 524 Threads: 75

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to replace my Realistic headphones that I have been using since the 80s.

Any recommendations on ones that will block out the sound of the drums & cymbals so I don't have to crank my music up loud?

Thanks,

Jeff

I use the Beats only because i was given them by my son. No way would i have bought them for the price they sell for. My son is in the music biz also and these are top class. As mentioned by grantro and others,lots of great headphones on the market.

I typically practice with the Shure E2 in-ear monitors that I use for live gigs. Mine are at least a decade old, so there are likely better ones out there, but they work well.

Edit: the URL link feature seems to be acting stupid. Why does it keep replacing the text I'm trying to make a hyperlink with an Amazon image?
