I have an acoustic drum set, been playing for about a year and a half. I am looking into getting a pair of earphones that will help protect my hearing as well as allow me to drum along with music. I have been searching around for what suits my needs best and I'm somewhat overwhelmed by the amount of choices. I have never spent money on a quality pair of earphones before and I find mixed reviews on every pair I found. I was looking at the Beyerdynamic DT770Ms and those looked nice, but are somewhat pricey. I am willing to shell out that much money if it's worth it, but I figure there are other great headphones for cheaper. Sennheiser seems to have more affordable earphones that are great, specifically I looked at HD280 Pro set and also the HD448. However I would really love to be able to wear my earphones for extended periods of time and I found a lot of people who thought these Sennheiser's were uncomfortable. I'm not dead set on circumaural either. I saw a few people recommending IEM's but I don't know much about them. Anyways. I only have three major needs, in this order.
1. Protect my hearing
2. Ability to play along with music I love
3. Ability to enjoy listening to music (I figure if I'm spending a lot of money on these I better get some enjoyment out of listening haha)
Any responses are greatly appreciated, directing me where I can do my own research is just as good as offering brands or products that you think are worth it. Thanks!
*note* I also saw people recommending headphone amplifiers if your going to be spending money on a good pair of earphones. I have never even heard of these before so any info on amplifiers is excellent as well! thanks
