Direct Sound EX-29 Extreme Isolation Headphones  

These headphones sounded fine but let many of the druming overtones ring through clearly or even were amplified. I have another pair for drumming that claim less decibel attenuation and do a much better job. At this price I would hope Direct Sound could add in some extra damping.

Long cable is a definite plus. Wish they had one with iPhone controls.

Good sound quality, materials are solid and should last a long time.

I've been through several hearing devices for protection and sound quality, and my previous set of in-ear monitors / isolation headphones recently broke. I thought I'd give these a shot, but I am heavily disappointed. They fit fine and sound fine, but being that these are "designed by drummers for drummers" I have to say I'm very disappointed.

The ability to isolate from sound should be from ALL frequency ranges. If you put anything over your ears, inevitably it will eliminate the highs since highs can't carry through any surface very well. These don't protect from lower frequencies though. The kicks and even the toms come through very prominently, and harshly as well. The hearing cups act more as an echo chamber than a barrier from which to protect sound. I am returnin these currently. back to in-ear monitors.

This is the new style, screw on tip / nicer headband

I don't believe you will find any better quality for the same price.

What I like best is the manufacture support for buying replacement parts.

Had my last pair for 5 years and replaced the drivers and headband as well as ordered a new pair from musician's friend. Quality is great I use them in my studio for most all purposes they break down low frequencys drums, bass, ect.

Just buy a pair you can't beat the value.

Great headphones easy to repair later on down the road.

I was really dissappointed to see how cheap these headphones felt. Sure, the sound is really great, but they look and feel soooo cheap. They were obviously made in China, no doubt about that one. Seems like the majority of our products now are being made overseas. I was expecting some good sturdy headphones, but instead, I get something that feels like it would literally break into a million pieces if I dropped it. I probably should've went with vintage headphones.

Awesome headphones, really good sound qualitiy and isolation.

Awesome headphones.
