Anybody have recommendations for headphones that won't bleed? I'm using Sony 7506's right now, but the click track is bleeding too much for my tastes

A couple ideas...

If you are going for absolute cheapness, earbuds have zero leakage and can be had for under $5.00.

A mid priced solution are the Sennheiser HD202s. $20.00, a good, loud sound (a little honky), and little leakage.

My favorite for the task are Sennheiser HD280. Fantastic sound, as sealed as can be, and very comfortable. They cost about $100.00.

I've tried a number of solutions for this.

Studio Kans. Cheap to buy - 29 or so db noise reduction - sound like s**t - painful to wear for long sessions. I sold mine at a loss and was happy to get rid of them.

In-ear monitors-30 db noise reduction (or for extreme isolation, in-ear monitors with the noise reduction headphones that airplane baggage guys use over them - probably 40+ noise reduction)

In ears sound good but have little bass response unless you buy the real expensive ones. The ones I have are the Shure ones that cost about 100 bucks (I plug them into a headphone cable - I didn't buy the transmitter/receiver)

My favorite solition is Drum Tek Headphones. 29 db isolation, comfortable to wear, and they use Sony 7506 drivers

I bought mine from a guy that sells them new on e-bay. Cost currently is $155. I don't have any connection with him except that I am a happy customer. Here's the link for them:

Hi,

The extreme headphones look like a good buy - and i think i will pick up a pair to check them out -

as a drummer myself isolation is key - i would point out however that the Frequency Response seems a wee bit better on the Metrophones - 15 - 25000 hz vrs 20 - 20,000 hz for the Extreme, the click track version has a output jack - so the drummer can set the pace and put the click in the mix, and the water just feels so damn good on my ears when i use them.

The claim of a 29 db reduction however is the same for both headphones.

Happy Hunting
