isolation headphones

hi, all, I'm thinking about getting some isolation heaphones as I record in one fairly large room. If they really do cut out all external sound and just let you hear the monitor signal that'd be brilliant. But do they really work that well? How much external sound can they cut out? Can you be in a room with loud guitar drums etc and only hear through the desk?

Isolation headphones for home recording?

Hi everyone,

I have been building my own home studio. As such, I'm the main engineer/perfomer here, so I have to track while playing.

Do you guys think isolation headphones could help in setting stuff like mic placement, for example, when recording electric guitars and drums? Or a pair of good closed-back headphones would suffice?

Thanks.
