Vic Firth SIH2 5-stars Reviews

Best drummer headphones

These cans save my eardrums day aftdr day. Perfect for band practice sith louder music.

Great pair of inexpensive headphones

For the money, these give you almost everything you could want from a pair of headphones. Good noise cancellation, perfectly adequate sound quality. They do get a little uncomfortable after a while wearing them, due to the pressure, but a snug fit is no bad thing. Overall suits my needs perfectly.

Great for the price

Do the job great! Really good drummers headphones.

Perfect headphones for me

These are very high quality and good headphones not just for drummers. My bass player fell in love with these headphones. They muffle the surrounds as much as possible and are very accurate in the midrange.

Better than its competition!

I’ve bought and used several headphone models over the years, THIS IS THE KING for a hard-hitting drummer like Pete F. Moon.

Try Vic Firth - Life’s too short for tinnitus and bad monitoring!

Great sound

Very good noise cancelling headphones. Great sound.

Great product!!

Great, you can see it is made by drummer for drummers.

Little uncomfortable at first, but when you get used to it, it is ok.

Sound is not for mixing and so, but for playing drums - sound is great.

All in all, great product, 9/10!!

Excellent

Works really good. Nice quality

Best recording headphones

This is a great choice for drummers in a recording situation. It is quality made and much more comfortable then the previous version for longer wear. Sound is not really studio quality but it is very good. Isolation is excellent.

Excellent, but not the best!

Like the previous model, it puts a lot of pressure on the head. If you wear glasses like me, it can cause some inconvenience. But it's bearable! Quite a good sound and, most importantly, noise reduction. I also use a Yamaha HPH - MT 8. They have an amazing sound, but it is difficult to work in them due to the fact that the ear pads are very sound-permeable. But they do not put pressure on the head and have better drivers than SIH2 (but also cost Yamaha twice as much). Of course, these are inherently different headphones, but it seems to me that if you solve the problem with strong pressure, cable length (make a twisted and long cable, as it once was) and make drivers a little better, then these will be the coolest headphones for drummers!

These headphones were a big surprise how good they sounded for audio control while drumming! The isolation is not so balanced (it doesn’t cut off that much from bass frequencies), but for this price it actually provides more isolation than I expected. The control audio volume doesn’t need to be so high this way, which is really a big deal!!!

Best headphones I've ever owned

Very comfortable even after several hours of playing. Great bass response and very clear vocals.

Satisfied with those head phones

I use them for drumming. They isolate the sound really good and the sound is ok too. Also, the sound of drums is great... the isolation makes a great EQ. I recommend those headphones for drumming on the music... They are making a perfect job!

Great product!

Great product, good for playing drums while listening to music since the isolation works great!

Wear comfort is good, it fits perfectly and is adjustable but due to its high pressure for closing off your ears, it might become a slight bit annoying when wearing for more than 4 hours.

I've wear these headphones to play along with songs or for a digital metronome. I've played around 4-hour practice runs with these and am glad I bought them.

Slightly uncomfortable after long use, but still worth it!

The sound insulation on these headphones is way better than I expected. Obviously there is still sound from my drums leaking into the headphones, but it is very low.

They are incredibly tight, to the point where after some time they become uncomfortable and start hurting my ears, but the tightness is necessary for the insulation they provide. They are also a little shallow, which contributes to the discomfort after a couple hours of playing. You might need to take breaks, so your ears can chill a bit.

The sound is good, they are not studio-grade headphones, but for monitoring and even casual listening to music, they do an amazing job.

Overall I am very satisfied with this product. I do believe, though, that if the cushions were a little deeper, it would have made this product 100% better in terms of comfort.

Great headphones

I bought these to use while practicing drums, they work perfectly. They fit comfortably, not too tight, but they could reduce the outside sound a little more.

Have been using them for about a week, a couple of hours a day, no problem so far. I had a pair of the older model which on which the cord broke after not too much use, so hopefully these are better.

Edit: A year and a half later, still working perfectly.

Like it

I have studio, I like this headphones for everything, because isolation is wonderful, especially for drummers, they need more and more click track in their headphones, its really useful for isolation.

These days I use them for vocalists too, for loud and hard rock type..

I love it. Isolation is gooood

Drumming headset

Really comfortable, it can be used for hours. The noise isolation is really good, I used it both for e-drum and acoustic drum, and it allows to keep my hear safe, and to work flawlessly on the e-kit.

The sound is maybe not the best, but it's clear and very good

Great headphones

Bought these for my e-drums. Great isolation of outside noise, even at lower volumes. I can wear them for longer periods of time with no issues. They stay put on my head and sound great too!
