VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Don't expect studio or audiophile quality sound with these puppies. They're decent, and get the job done. Feature: The sound isolation on these phones is great. Approximately 30 db of sound isolation makes these perfect for even loud drummers. Being able to play along to a click or tracks without blasting your head off is great. Every drummer needs something like this. But the metronome is just as barebones as you can get: combo volume on/off dial and tempo dial. That's it. One dry hollow 'click' sound. And like someone else said, the numbers aren't accurate. So you'll have to estimate w/ a reference recording or go by feel. Quality: Quality of speakers and metronome is nothing to write home about. However, the construction is VERY rugged, mostly made from off-the-shelf parts, making replacement a simple trip to the hardware store. Overall: Great product and unique. Pretty much the ONLY cost-effective solution for drummers looking to be able to hear a metronome or music to play along to.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: The headphones are in themselves great for studio use, but I find them a bit lacking in the bottom end (even though the specs state that they can reproduce from 15Hz - 25000KHz), so I wouldn't use them for anything that requires a linear frequency response (like mixing or mastering). Feature: The metronome function is a huge convenince in project studios and at rehearsal. Quality: They have a nice vintage look to them, and the constrution seems very rugged. They are a bit on the heavy side, though, but they are comfortable to wear. Value: I live in Norway, and here they cost about 270 dollars - which borders to ridiculous. But for the US suggested retail price, I would certainly recommend them. Manufacturer Support: None needed. Overall: I have been looking for a nice set of drummer's earphones for use in my project studio for quite som time (such items are not always easy to come by here in Norway), and I have certainly found exactly what I've been looking for. I really love these earphones.

Sound: Good click, loud enough to get above drum kit practice. Not so good when playing with a band though. Feature: Great drumming features. I use with a pad, kit and electric kit. It has a quality line in feature, and is usually better than the metronome on the electric kit. Ease of Use: super simple. adjustable, but locks to fitting. simple volume adjustment and speed control. Quality: Solid product, super indestructable. Can be slightly uncomfortable after wearing for a couple hours though. Value: great purchase Manufacturer Support: n/a

Sound: mediocre Overall: My impression: Would not buy them in retrospect. Very tight grip on your head ... Regular isolation headphones are more comfortable since they wrap your entire ear; these do not, they are very flat, and rely on the slim cushions to do the job of wrapping around your ear. They require considerable pressure on your head in order to achieve good isolation. The price is not cheap; looking back I would get the Vic Firth. So-so stereo sound quality.

Sound: Sounds fine; though I wasn't able to wear them long enough to make a very imformed decision. Quality: Very sturdy, but incredibly uncomfortable; I couldn't wear it for more than a few minutes. Value: Not worth the price at all. VicFirth makes isolations headphones that work the same, but are almost as comfortable as most closed studio headphones. Overall: I bought Vic Firth's headphones two days later for cheaper at a local music store. These are a good idea, but prohibitively uncomfortable.
