I play an E-kit and am looking for a good pair of isolation headphones. I realize there are already some threads on this topic, but my situation is unique. The headphones I currently have do not block out the sound of the rubber pads, so it is hard to hear the drum sounds without turning the volume way up (which I never do).
So I decided to try some of the Vic Firth isolation headphones, and I really liked the isolation effect. However it seemed to me there were too many highs and not enough lows in the sound, making the cymbals overpowering. Since I do a lot of recording, I can't simply turn the cymbal volume down, as they would be too quiet on the recording.
Many people suggest the Ultraphones, but those are way out of my budget range at the moment. I was thinking of giving the KAT Percussion KTUI26 model a try. Any thoughts on these headphones, or any other recommendations? Thanks in advance.
