Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

No headphones could be too precious to use with the DTXpress! If I'm 
playing the drums, I want to hear 'em like an audience would hear 
them. And, UN.H, you can rest assured that expensive Sennheisers will 
let you play as loud as you like without distorting AND give you the 
delicate tones as well.
