Great for practice, I don't think I'll need another pair anytime soon
I've been using them for about a year for practicing both with acoustic and electronic drums.
- On the acoustic drums, they protect my hearing way more than any earplugs I have (even custom-made ones with a theoretically similar attenuation). Of course what I play doesn't sound amazing through all that noise isolation, but I don't really care.
- With electronic drums, I'm very satisfied with how much they isolate the sounds of the pads.
- Sound quality isn't amazing but again, not something I care about.
- They fit my (big) head pretty well and they only start to get uncomfortable after more than an hour, and probably only because I don't have any hair that could offer some padding.
Overall I'm satisfied, as I value my hearing way more than perceiving every detail of how my drums sound.

Great value
Bought these to practice at home with music and also use a click track. Had read many reviews on them, given the price, I think they are a really good buy. Confortable to wear and good sound insulation. Sound quality isn't perfect but then they are a cost effective working tool, not hifi units. Recommended.

Happy overall
Positives are that for the money, these headphones provide great isolation and great sound quality for the price. The cable could be a little longer, but is great quality and the attachment at the earpiece end has a sturdy rubber surround so I can't see it failing any time soon.
Downside is that after a relatively short time these can get a little uncomfortable to wear around the sides of the head, and the headband cover isn't the greatest quality, and has begun to split along it's edge.

Would buy again
Quality headphones, great noise reduction and puts compression on the kit sound.
Very tight so can be uncomfortable if not used to it.
I'd suggest keeping them safe with a case, the frame snapped after being lugged around in a kit bag for too long.

Significant noise reduction and good sound but tight on the head.
I use the Vic Firth SIH2 headphones for practicing on my electronic drum set. It improves the electronic drumming experience by reducing perception of the noise of hitting the pads.
Pro:
- significant outside noise reduction
- nice, clear sound
- sturdy, good quality
Con:
- the closed system requires these headphones to fit quite tight on the head, this is not always comfortable and can lead to headaches and pain across the points of contact
Conclusion:
Good choice of headphones for practice on an electronic drum kit. Highly recommended!

Massive improvement
The sound quality introduces, as promised, a massive improvement to the predecessor model SIH1. The bass end is still a bit thin, even eq won't help. Upper mids a bit pronounced with almost bell-like character and acoustic bleed from the ambient is a bit boxy. For the price point an amazing product which will I will certainly find plenty of use for.

Bangin...
Perfect for drummers with electronic kits. The Playing experience is dramatically improved. These cans cut out all of the unwanted noises created by striking the mesh heads etc. BRILLIANT 👏

A must-have for new drummers
Good sound quality and noise reduction as well as being comfortable. Great for drumming along to a song or metronome. Very happy with my purchase.

sound is INCREDIBLE
but all the rest is not as incredible as the sound. The build quality could be better. But again the sound is really mindblowing, super high quality. But it's true that they are uncomfortable, they clamp your head like Hellraiser
