Vic Firth SIH2 Sound-Isolating Headphones
Very good, but let down by poor mechanical design. I found them very difficult to put on because the adjusters never stayed where I put them, but I'm fortunate enough to have a machine workshop so I made some new aluminium ones.
The sound quality is far better than expected from a low cost closed back headphone, and it's ideal for monitoring quiet microphone recordings while avoiding feedback. I wouldn't class them as true HiFi headphones, but they are not intended to be.
The sound isolation is excellent, and similar to most ear defenders.
They are light and comfortable, despite having the fairly high clamping force that is required for good isolation.
I'd recommend them to anyone wanting isolating phones, but the adjusters need some attention.
