Well after lurking for a while i make as well make a thread.
 
I'm a drummer, and a damn loud one. Im tired of having to blast my ATH W1000's on max to hear myself playing, and i need a pair of headphones with some heavy noise isolation, not canceling. I want to be able to slightly hear my drums, not not at all though. my price range is about $200, not exactly rolling in cash about now. Thanks a bunch guys.

Beyer DT770M. Custom made for drummers. Fantastic isolation plus the ability to feed to sound back to you without killing your ears.

Well, the M version doesn't isolate extremely much more then pro, but sounds much much worse in soundquality, so I'd go (I went) with the pro.

well how much isolation are we talking, decibel wise?

If you want isolation for a stage monitor you'd probably want to go for a pair of IEMs.

W1000 with drums?!? Good grief, man!
Drummers I know either use IEMs, or IEM/earbud + earmuffs

Indeed,i love them to pieces, but they have really little isolation. I might go get some Denon AH-C751S's, or some Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220vi's, and wear earmuffs over that.
