Ex-29 Plus
Nov 11th 2018I've always struggled getting optimal mic placement on guitar cabs. With these headphones, dialing in on the speaker is so much easier. I've also had great success positioning acoustic guitars with a LDC mic to get nice balance between body and strings. I can't wait to try them on drums next !!

Job accomplished!
Feb 27th 2015I record my own drums in my one room home studio and I use both an E kit and Acoustic drums, so getting drum sounds can be tricky when all you can hear either the pads from the E kit or the acoustic kit over the cue mix. The direct sound EX-29 extreme isolation Headphones got the job done, they also are very durable and serviceable being modular making them easy to repair if needed! Highly Recomend.

Incredible headphones at a great price!
May 15th 2013We had tried several methods to eliminate click bleed, not all were acceptable to the artists. Front End Audio alerted us to their exclusive sale of Direct Sound products so the EX-29's didn't cost us an arm and a leg. Both do an amazing job! Highly recommended.

My workhorse set of headphones!
Feb 15th 2013These are the olny way to track drums in my opinion, the 29 db of isolation is so vital for me, it allows me to hear the quiter parts of my recordings, and really focus in on how I need to play. The speakers inside the phones are pretty great quality,they're clear,very low noise,and really accurate and full sounding for your mixes. Build quality is great,these are sturdy and comfortable at the same time,fully size adjustable,and nice foam cushions that allow for extended use when tracking all night. I'll be getting some new pairs of these soon,I suggest you do the same,they're a really great solution for hearing yourself much better!

Cuts down noise
Nov 19th 2012I bought these with the intention of being able to accurately hear what I'm recording without the bleed of an amp or drums coming through. It does an excellent job of that along with keeping the click track from bleeding into the mic. I gave it 5 stars because it has done what I wanted it to do. Whether they are the most accurate... Well, I'm not sure. They seem a little bass heavy but I'm only using them for tracking so I don't care.

simply the best
Nov 1st 2012The tonal accuracy and depth allow for better tracking at decent volumes. Compared with other headphones you really can say there is no bleed. They have comfort and clarity for understanding nuances of vocal and instrument execution. One only detail.... I would have love them to have a volume controller in the cable. Of course, it would have made them prone to failure so.... no complains, just a wet dream.

Great Studio Headphones
Mar 5th 2012Great headphones for the studio, flat response, get these if you worried about monitor bleed into your vocal microphones for singers and for drummers who need to only hear the mix in their headphones, I also like the fact that all the parts are replaceable through direct sound

Amazing while they lasted!
Nov 22nd 2011These are some of the best isolation headphones for durmming that I've ever used, and while they lasted (about a year +) they were amazing. The only reason they didn't last longer is that I was clumsy and accidentally stepped on them. When stepped on, the flimsy little plastic hinge snapped off and they were no longer usable. Besides that, great stuff!

Good but not great isolation
Sep 10th 2011I bought these to help with mic placement in a small project studio. They work well for this purpose but I'm not convinced that they offer any dramatic increase in isolation over other decent closed ear headphones. Still it would be hard to do much better for the price and the sound quality is quite good.
