But as good as they are, high end audio headphones aren't the ones you should get for e-drums. A simple rule of thumb is to get the best quality closed/sealed phones (to keep out extraneous noise) with low impedance (under 100) and high efficiency (to permit adequate volume levels with modest amplification) that you can afford. Studio phones will be more durable than the home variety; they often will fold up conveniently; and they will have one cord that connects to one earpiece, not two cords that come together under your chin, just waiting to get yanked when you play. The Sony MDR 7056 is popular, as is the AKG 240S or, my favorite, the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro. They all have street prices from $80 to $100. Ed
