Vic Firth SIH3 Stereo Isolation Headphones

Sound isolation: Actually really good at what they advertise, IMO. I bought those so I could take them to work and not have to listen to my coworker a cubicle over loudly crunching on nuts the whole day. It's definitely effective - I don't notice the nut crunching anymore. I also don't notice coworkers stopping by my cubicle anymore because I can't hear them approaching, but eh I'm OK with that tradeoff. Audio quality seems pretty good to me. Definitely better than the open ear open back headphones I got from Phillips a while ago for a similar price. It's probably just the sound muffling, but the music/sound is more immersive than my previous solution. Size: Surprisingly, it just about fits on my big ol head, which is probably bigger than 95% of the general population. It clamps on pretty tight, but it hasn't felt uncomfortable just yet. Coord: The audio cord is built in. Thankfully it seems to be a fairly sturdy cord, which seems to be just the right length for me to move about my cubicle but also not tangled under my chair or something. So if you specifically need a short or rather long cable this may not work, but it should be fine for the majority of usecases

I’ve tried several isolation headphones, and the Vic Firth SIH3 is by far one of the best for the price. These are made specifically for musicians who need to cut down external noise while still hearing their mix or a click track clearly—and they deliver. -Sound Quality: The audio is clean and focused, with strong mids and lows. Not studio monitor quality, but perfect for tracking and practice. -Noise Isolation: This is where the SIH3 really shines. It blocks out a ton of ambient noise (up to 25dB), which makes a huge difference when you’re behind a loud kit or in a rehearsal space. -Comfort: The upgraded padding on the headband and ear cups is a big improvement from previous versions. I can wear them for hours without discomfort—though they can get a bit warm after extended use. -Build Quality: They feel sturdy and well-made, great for regular use. The cable isn’t detachable, which might bother some people, but it’s tough and seems built to last. If you're a drummer, musician, or just someone looking for solid hearing protection with decent sound, these are a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!

Drummer essential. Even if not listening to anything it still makes drums sound so much better, cuts out high ranges to protect your ears. This is my second pair in 20 years, clearly something that is built to last as needed. The new ones are way more comfortable, but I miss the cord being a coil; this one will not stretch like that. Still worth it.

Now I can play my drums along with Spotify and YouTube and hear the music and drums equally without having to turn up the music too loud and damage my hearing. I wish I bought them years ago.

Good product. With the reviews I had read before, I expected a better sound quality with a bit more punchy bass. Isolation is very good, cups feel a little too small sometimes, but do the job.

Very good isolation headphones recommended by my drum teacher. Protect your ears !

The most uncomfortable isolation headphones I've ever used. Give me a headache after a few minutes.

Tippy top of the line when it comes to quality and not breaking the bank.. reliability and comfort.. I can have these on for literally five or six hours at a time.. no pain or pessure.. I don’t even feel them… I let my guitarist listen to the mix of my drums the other day, and he was blown away at the isolation..

Increibles. Estuve valorando comprar unos de 40€, unos de thomann y unos beringher que parecian buenos, pero la ia me aconsejó estos (estan por 84€) y sinceramente ha sido un acierto total, tenía unos semi abiertos antes para la batería electronica. y se escuchaban reguleras. Ha sido ponerme estos cascos y dios que diferencia. Aislan totalmente de los golpes del exterior por lo que escuchas el sonido del kit en condiciones y luego que el sonido es muy bueno y en comparación con lo que tenía antes no hay color.

Very nice headphones. Sound quality and isolation are great. They also make drum sounds more compressed and tasty even while being unplugged!

I rarely write product reviews on Amazon but I need to give a big thumbs up to these. I work in film music and often need to listen to the output of offline computers in very loud environments. These are fabulous and have seem of the best acoustic isolation I've come across. Sound, whilst not as great as some open-backed designs is very good. Build quality and feel also great. Slightly tight on the head but that only helps isolation in my book. Recommended.

Le utiilizzo con una Roland Td-316, con la quale ho usato anche delle altre cuffie (le stesse Vic Firth ma in versione 1 con i driver sostituiti e un paio di Roland A7). Queste isolano in modo ottimale (non si sentono le bacchette sui vari pad) e la qualità audio è molto buona. Il tipo di cavo è adeguato per il mio caso (la centralina ha il jack da 3,5 mm come le cuffie). La parte che avvolge il padiglione auricolare è comoda ma se fa molto caldo (oltrei 30 gradi) fa sudare parecchio.

2 usages à ce casque : branché à ma batterie électronique, il réceptionne bien le son de la batterie. Je m'en sers aussi non branché pour m'isoler des bruits ambiants ( de match de foot à la télé par exemple).
