So i'm really bothered by the acoustic noise of the stick hitting the hi-hat and i thought that a good pair of noise-isolating/canceling headphones would do the trick. I have cheap studio headphones (~$35) which are pretty average.
I was looking at tons of headphones, preferred by both drummers and audiophiles and i've no idea what to pick. My main requirement is that they should drown out the tap-tap of the pads and that the audio quality should by above-average if i'm going to be paying ~$100 for them.
I was looking at AudioTechnica ATHM50 which is said to be one of the best headphones out there. But what i got from all the reviews was that it was mainly for recreational listening - no one said anything about its noise-isolating capability. I was looking at Sennheisers, all the way from the $20 HD201s to the more-expensive ones (nothing above $100 please). I also checked out Vic Firth Isolation headphones and the Roland RHs but idk people were saying they weren't that great and that I should check out "GK-music headphones" but those were ~$350 so that's a no-no.
So if there any headphones that would block external noise and offer good audio for about a 100 bucks, please tell me
