Compared to other headphones for e-drums; not bad at all.
These headphones are good for drummers, and e-drummers. And that's exactly why I bought them in the first place.
I practice every day on a TD-17, and it took me a long time to find headphones which were satisfying.
With other headphones, I had 4 kind of problems:
- the construction of the headphones was too fragile,
- the sound was too sharp (too much highs and mids),
- the volume was too low, or
- too much stick sound through the headphones.
- The construction of the Superlux HD-665 is excellent.
- The sound is solid for e-drummers.
- The volume is really loud.
- With these headphones on, I don't hear much of other noises around me, except loud noises. I can't hear the sticks on rubber pads or rims anymore, while practicing. And that's was exactly what I was looking for.
My overall rating? I wished the sound was just a bit better. Or the comfort was like the Beyermagic DT 770 Pro (*). But compared to other so-called 'headphones for e-drums', even to those which have high ratings, I tried some, and I didn't like them. Some broke within a few months, often the sound was too thin, but most of the time I had to turn the volume very loud to solve the problem of stick sounds on rubber hi-hat/cymbal pads.
(*): the volume of the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro/ 80 Ohm for the Roland TD-17 is not loud enough. It's a great comfortable headphone, but not for the TD-17, without extra amplification.
NB: A year later: these headphones are still working and they are still great. I recommend them for e-drums. They are powerful and you don't hear the sticks on the surface of your e-drums. They sound more bass then treble, but that's OK. They are extremely well builded. During summertime, they are warm. But they really are better then a lot of other brands.

Nice good damping headphone
Nice headphone, good damping, use it in professional studio envoirement. Sound is not that hi-fi but more than good enough to use in an loud einvoirement.

Good quality for a good price. I am very happy the cable can be changed as this is always the weak point

Excellent
Just what the recording studio needs. Loud playback but zero spillout. Nothing less, nothing more.

Some of the best recording Headphones
These Heaphones are for recording, you cant mix with them and they aren't super nice to listen to but, they are probably the best heaphones for recording I had. The isolate well they give full bass response and I never had an artist that had a problem with their headphone mix with them.

Super isolation for for noisy office
Bought this pair for use in a noisy office and I'm more than happy with my purchase. Even my colleagues are impressed. Even with no music on they cutoff most noises. I don't have to blast really loud music to stop listening to unwanted conversations while working.
I also tested this pair in a small rehearsal room with a full rock band and a quite loud drummer. Excellent isolation! Drummer tested the pair too, he could barely hear his own hits.
Sound wise the headphones don't seem to saturate the sound which is really good for mixing purposes.

Highly recommended for drummers
I was just about to buy a d770 at 3x price when i found this. Sound quality is obviously not for mixing your recordings but it's more than decent enough to listen music when you're playing. But the isolation, that's outstanding when it sits properly on your head + comfortable enough for a 3h practice session.

Great value sound isolation headphones.
I bought these headphones for recording vocals/acoustic guitar with as little bleed through as possible, without spending too much money as I already have a good set of Beyerdynamic Headphones.
I was so surprised how much sound they block out, they are industrial level sound proofing.
So much so I can use to them position a mic on a guitar cab and pretty much only hear what the microphone is picking up while the amp is blasting out guitar.
They are worth the money for this alone.
They are a bit tight on my head but it needs to be tight to block out the sound.
They only con I see is that the 3.5 mm jack does not screw into the 6.3 mm stereo jack adaptor, The adaptor keeps getting left behind in the headphone socket, not a major problem but keeps catching me out.
It also comes with a handy clip to secure the lead to the Headphones, so if you stand on the cable while wearing them you wont pull lead out of the headphones.

Remarkable for the money
Fantastic isolation when tracking drums and other instruments in the studio, and they actually sound pretty good as well. A little EQ helps to cut out 200hz and brighten the top end a bit, but once that's done they're fantastic value for money.

Great for drummers
I am a drummer and I wanted some headphones that would cut out a lot of the volume from the kit whilst allowing me to hear what I am playing along to. These work perfectly for that. I wear them for about two hours a day and they don’t get uncomfortable. One thing that I particularly like is that the cable plugs into a little socket a couple of centimetres from one side so when you accidentally stand on the cable you don't damage them, the cable just comes out.
I have had them for at least a year now and I would recommend them.
