Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone here knew of some good, affordable noise canceling headphones for playing drums with. At the moment I use earmuffs with some sony ear buds underneath to play along to music, and it's not ideal. I have Sennheiser HD201 headphones, but they don't muffle the background enough.... even on full volume my drumkit easily cuts through. I have it set up in a small bedroom, so it's crazy loud.

Can anyone recommend anything?

those noise canceling earmuff things people use when shooting guns and ear phones? id say those would work fantastically

Actually, scrap it, noise canceling headphones are far too expensive....

I'm going to buy these: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Sports/Hunting-shooting/Other/auction-246099947.htm

Pair of gun-firing headmuffs + Skullcandy Titan ear buds = sweet sweet.
