However, you don’t need as much sound reduction for electronic drums because they have much lower volume outputs. This means that you could get a more affordable pair that would work wonderfully. Though if you are looking to invest in a high-quality pair of isolation headphones for drumming, I would recommend investing in a more expensive pair such as the Direct Sound EX-29 Plus.The KAT Percussion isolation headphones are extremely uncomfortable, I’m afraid. After wearing them for about an hour like the sides of my head are being clamped. Durability is key when using headphones to play an instrument. There’s nothing more frustrating than plugging your drum kit in to get ready to play, and then you can’t hear anything coming through the earpieces. If you want headphones to use for your electronic kit as well as other activities, durability is even more important to worry about. If your headphones are simply going to live with your e-kit, you won’t need to worry as much about it. Cable Length
