    Impedance: 32ohm, Sensitivity: 103dB @ 1000Hz, mini-jack connector adapter mini-jack/jack more.

    It is a closed headphone, with a 29dB attenuation important.

    It seems to be specifically designed for drummers, mitigation when I play drums with these headphones, just me parrait ideal. Also the sound is attenuated much better with earplugs or a headphone.

    The sound of the HP is not the most faithful media loaded in the bottom, Planer on top of the spectrum, and a little soft.
    Again, this seems suited for drummers, who can hear the sound of what they are currently recording (!), Without acute or tiring, and with a max of sensations through the medium well below this .

    The EIH is not suitable for mixing, but who wants to mix with headphones closed?

    And if he does not fatigue the ear, it is relatively heavy and sweating is a maximum in the long run if we play a little physical. It is the reverse of the insulation ...
    However the rubber edge is very nice.

    Another possible use of this headset is to find the "sweet-spot" with the microphone in the ear and microphone in hand, while the musician plays!
    The attenuation allows in many cases, and if the sound was more faithful, the EIH would be formidable in this application. It can nevertheless good roughing work, and sometimes saves valuable time.
    It is also very useful to solve problems quickly phase on face several mics on the same source.
    Since I have, I try to open investment against nature, so it becomes easy.

    When recording, the repisse headset into the microphone is non-existent (thank you 29dB of attenuation over the upper back).

    I use it for 10 months.
    I am relatively happy.
    I paid only 69 dollars US, at a time when the dollar was very low.
    I took advantage of a more larger order to buy the headphone because the order alone would not really benefit the port.
    Considering it is difficult in France, and prohibitive tariffs (150 euros in Audioland), it is better perhaps to fall back on another headphone closed ...

    I've come to realize that there are no perfect set of cans for every situation. At least not yet. These are decent for what they are and it seems the main purpose is isolation and not for monitoring or listening to music on a casual basis.

    The design is probably the best part, the muffs are huge and fit over the ear, which is great for comfort. Everything, literally every part of the headphones are replaceable also which is great! The ear muff cushion is also very nice, it's not just leather it's something else but the overall construction and design allows for a very high amount of isolation. You can feel the isolation as soon as you put them on, it sort of closes the gaps between your …

    I've come to realize that there are no perfect set of cans for every situation. At least not yet. These are decent for what they are and it seems the main purpose is isolation and not for monitoring or listening to music on a casual basis.

    The design is probably the best part, the muffs are huge and fit over the ear, which is great for comfort. Everything, literally every part of the headphones are replaceable also which is great! The ear muff cushion is also very nice, it's not just leather it's something else but the overall construction and design allows for a very high amount of isolation. You can feel the isolation as soon as you put them on, it sort of closes the gaps between your ears and head and thus allowing a lot more bass back in what you hear, which is good and bad.

    For me, I find it not completely accurate sounding. I just feel that it's too bass heavy and most of what I'm listening to becomes quite muddy. Could this be because of the extreme isolation? It's so isolated that so much of the bass that usually bleeds through from other headphones are restored? Or is it just plain ol, good isolation but the speakers aren't very neutral sounding? It's hard to tell, but when compared to other headphones it's definitely muddy sounding and definitely not neutral sounding to me.

    I can see that this would be a good set of headphones for drummers, guitarists or engineers who are in very loud environments and need the complete isolation to properly hear the signal through the cans. I know Paul Gilbert has been using the non-pluggable version for his live shows to protect his hearing. Great choice.

    Overall, it's a decent set of headphones for monitoring or protecting your hearing. Though I wouldn't say they are good for mixing or trying to hear music etc clearly and in a more accurate and neutral state.

    I had many mattendais probe attenuation working from the beginning with a noise reduction headphones javais taken the habit of several decibels less ...
    But eventually the probe headphone is more than enough for such use her pretty well covers the decibels of my battery, c is not necessary to hit like a mad thing ... I am supporter from the beginning that battery started jai ..
    But it teaches you to have a shot less strong and this I think is very good for c evolve.
    HERE I THINK THAT THIS PURCHASE IS NOT BAD AT ALL I CAN FIND A LITTLE EXPENSIVE BECAUSE IT STILL LACKS A LITTLE MORE OF MITIGATION O NIVO DECIBELS ...
