Vic Firth SIH2 4-stars Reviews

Bangin...

Perfect for drummers with electronic kits. The Playing experience is dramatically improved. These cans cut out all of the unwanted noises created by striking the mesh heads etc. BRILLIANT 👏

good

Sound isolation is very successful. Headphone volume is a little low. I can't hear it well enough even if I turn up the final volume on my Roland digital drum. Sweat in hot weather or under exertion. The material quality is nice and solid.

Good budget headphones

Using with my electric drums

Good isolation and sound

A bit tight on the ears

Overall satisfied

sound is INCREDIBLE

but all the rest is not as incredible as the sound. The build quality could be better. But again the sound is really mindblowing, super high quality

Despite I tried to fix it, some external noises are heard and is quite annoying, doesn’t cover at all my ears.

Great for practice, I don't think I'll need another pair anytime soon

I've been using them for about a year for practicing both with acoustic and electronic drums.

- On the acoustic drums, they protect my hearing way more than any earplugs I have (even custom-made ones with a theoretically similar attenuation). Of course what I play doesn't sound amazing through all that noise isolation, but I don't really care.

- With electronic drums, I'm very satisfied with how much they isolate the sounds of the pads.

- Sound quality isn't amazing but again, not something I care about.

- They fit my (big) head pretty well and they only start to get uncomfortable after more than an hour, and probably only because I don't have any hair that could offer some padding.

Overall I'm satisfied, as I value my hearing way more than perceiving every detail of how my drums sound.

Would buy again

Quality headphones, great noise reduction and puts compression on the kit sound.

Very tight so can be uncomfortable if not used to it.

I'd suggest keeping them safe with a case, the frame snapped after being lugged around in a kit bag for too long.

Happy overall

Positives are that for the money, these headphones provide great isolation and great sound quality for the price. The cable could be a little longer, but is great quality and the attachment at the earpiece end has a sturdy rubber surround so I can't see it failing any time soon.

Downside is that after a relatively short time these can get a little uncomfortable to wear around the sides of the head, and the headband cover isn't the greatest quality, and has begun to split along it's edge.

Great value

Bought these to practice at home with music and also use a click track. Had read many reviews on them, given the price, I think they are a really good buy. Confortable to wear and good sound insulation. Sound quality isn't perfect but then they are a cost effective working tool, not hifi units. Recommended.

Massive improvement

The sound quality introduces, as promised, a massive improvement to the predecessor model SIH1. The bass end is still a bit thin, even eq won't help. Upper mids a bit pronounced with almost bell-like character and acoustic bleed from the ambient is a bit boxy. For the price point an amazing product which will I will certainly find plenty of use for.

Significant noise reduction and good sound but tight on the head.

I use the Vic Firth SIH2 headphones for practicing on my electronic drum set. It improves the electronic drumming experience by reducing perception of the noise of hitting the pads.

Pro:

- significant outside noise reduction

- nice, clear sound

- sturdy, good quality

Con:

- the closed system requires these headphones to fit quite tight on the head, this is not always comfortable and can lead to headaches and pain across the points of contact

Conclusion:

Good choice of headphones for practice on an electronic drum kit. Highly recommended!

Preisleistung top!

Preisleistung ist super, die Tonqualität für ca 55 € ist wirklich nicht zu bemängeln.

Komfort geeeeht aber ist gut tragbar für ne Stunde.

Ist super um mit Metronom zu üben! =)

Very useful headset for drummers in recording sessions

Very nice headset and with good sound quality and very good isolation.

A must-have for new drummers

Good sound quality and noise reduction as well as being comfortable. Great for drumming along to a song or metronome. Very happy with my purchase.

Nice Headphones.

I bought these to use for teaching. Overall they are good, the only problem I have with them is that the headphones have perhaps too much "pressure" on the ears so playing for a long time can hurt a bit.

Still a good update from the earlier version.

Let's just say that they are good for tracking drums, but not much else. I find that they squeeze too hard and I need to take them of periodically, and the color of the sound is very high-mid heavy and fatiguing. Good if you really need to hear the click over everything else, but not very pleasant otherwise. The sound reduction is suprisingly not very muffling, but I'd like to have just a little more reduction, but it may also be that I'm used to using in-ears and protection simultaneously.
