I bought these for my son since he was complaining about ringing in his ears from playing his drums, and these are the best! He can still hear himself play while it muffles out the high pitch of the cymbals. Highly recommend for drummers

Buy Vic Firth Drummer's Headphones Now

I bought these for my son who has hyper-sensitive hearing. Loud noises like the vacuum running, fireworks displays and crowd noise would always have him plugging his ears until these headphones arrived. The over-the-ear design is comfortable, although it was a bit too snug at first and put his head in a vice-like grip. After a minor fit adjustment, they work just as advertised. I've now put him in charge of the vacuuming and the loud noise is a non-issue. No, they don't eliminate all noise; he can still hear with these on, but the sound is largely muffled. We give them two thumbs up.

I got one of these only because my 4-year-old son, who also drums (on a great Gretsch Catalina Club kit), was forced to wear ear protection (the Peltor 90554 Junior Earmuff, Blue) and I wanted him to learn by example. Surprisingly, these ear muffs really let the drum sound through (I had been using Remington shooting muffs which let nothing through). I like them so much that even when I'm practicing alone, I keep them on.

Very comfortable on my big Herman Munster head, and rarely do I feel the need to remove them (unless I'm doing brush work on the drums).

I recommend these without reservation.

Still love these things. The only time I have to move one of the ear muffs off of my ear is when I'm jamming with a bass player and guitar player, and the guitarist EQs to a lower frequency. I can still hear the drums just fine, but the bass and guitar blend in the sound spectrum, so I need to free an ear to try and catch higher frequencies.

I have a friend who is a professional drummer who comes over, and I go to guitar or bass. He insists on wearing these every time he comes over, and has asked to borrow them for gigs. He's Dominican and plays with Latin bands, and finds that these isolation headphones pull his kit's sound away from the other percussion on the stage. In my studio, I sometimes need to wear headphones to absorb his heavy hitting, but then I can't hear my guitar. As such, I've had to buy another pair.

Really a great investment if you need to hear what you're doing on the drums with a room of other instruments fighting for parts of the sound frequency spectrum.

I am a professional drummer.

I was a dummy and did not protect my ears for many years--now I am paying the price.

Do not this this happen to you...protect your ears!

Now when I practice.. I use these isolation headphones. They are great. Somehow-they make your drums sound even better and protect your hearing at the same time.

And they work great.

The only thing is that after 20 minutes or so.... they start to hurt my head because they are on there pretty tight.

Good product.

I bought these for my five year old. He got a drum set for Christmas and needed some good ear protection. These seem to work and are comfortable on his head.
