I play drums, presently in a Who tribute band. I'm using the Etymotic ER6i in-Ears and really like them. They cut out a lot of sound and I have no problem hearing the backing tracks we use on some songs. I'm not looking to replace them, I would like to have another choice as they can get uncomfortable when wearing them for a long time.
Cutting out as much sound as possible is the most important feature I need, as 41 years of playing has taken it's toll on my hearing. I've tried many noise-canceling headsets including the Bose, but they all distort when I play. I've tried many regular headphones too. Many of them do a good job on cutting out the high end, but they all make the low end boomier. I'm usually in a corner or right next to a wall, which doesn't help. I record in a nice home studio, but there isn't a dedicated drum booth.
I just discovered this forum and hope someone can recommend something.
