These headphones were a big surprise how good they sounded for audio control while drumming! The isolation is not so balanced (it doesn’t cut off that much from bass frequencies), but for this price it actually provides more isolation than I expected. The control audio volume doesn’t need to be so high this way, which is really a big deal!!!

Excellent, but not the best!
Like the previous model, it puts a lot of pressure on the head. If you wear glasses like me, it can cause some inconvenience. But it's bearable! Quite a good sound and, most importantly, noise reduction. I also use a Yamaha HPH - MT 8. They have an amazing sound, but it is difficult to work in them due to the fact that the ear pads are very sound-permeable. But they do not put pressure on the head and have better drivers than SIH2 (but also cost Yamaha twice as much). Of course, these are inherently different headphones, but it seems to me that if you solve the problem with strong pressure, cable length (make a twisted and long cable, as it once was) and make drivers a little better, then these will be the coolest headphones for drummers!

The most closed headphones ever!
The main reason I bought SIH2 is an earprotection plus monitoring and it was the best choice for me. Once it came to me I immediately tried them in a drum practice session and I no longer needed to play softer in order to hear backing track or metronome like I had to do with my previous headphones... I was playing full power at last!!:)
Once I took them on rehearsal (used as "earplugs") it got even better. Despite the fact that SIH2 are extremely closed I was in total balance with others.
Also I tried them in mixing and well it's not a great studio headphones yet extremely useful for bass check.
One real disadvantage for me is that these headphones are really tight on my head and after an hour of use they get a bit annoying.
Overall I am satisfied with SIH2 and would advise them to all musicians (especially drummers) since its the most closed headphones I've ever tried. However, you should try them on before buying to see how tight they are on your head.

I was a bit sceptical about these headphones, they were quite cheap so thought that they would be rubbish to hook up to a Jobeky kit with a TD-11 drum module. How wrong was I.
These have to be the best for the buck headphones going for a Roland drum module. The noise cancellation works a treat, you can only hear the pad/cymbal, not the actual hitting of the cymbals etc. it does a really good job.
I was worried that the phones would not fit my head, they fit perfect, they are tight but covers the ears well and you don't get any discomfort from wearing them when you have a bash on the kit. Truly a must buy for any electronic drummer. The service from Thomann was excellent as usual.

Great product!!
Great, you can see it is made by drummer for drummers.
Little uncomfortable at first, but when you get used to it, it is ok.
Sound is not for mixing and so, but for playing drums - sound is great.
All in all, great product, 9/10!!

Better than its competition!
I’ve bought and used several headphone models over the years, THIS IS THE KING for a hard-hitting drummer like Pete F. Moon.
Try Vic Firth - Life’s too short for tinnitus and bad monitoring!

Slightly uncomfortable after long use, but still worth it!
The sound insulation on these headphones is way better than I expected. Obviously there is still sound from my drums leaking into the headphones, but it is very low.
They are incredibly tight, to the point where after some time they become uncomfortable and start hurting my ears, but the tightness is necessary for the insulation they provide. They are also a little shallow, which contributes to the discomfort after a couple hours of playing. You might need to take breaks, so your ears can chill a bit.
The sound is good, they are not studio-grade headphones, but for monitoring and even casual listening to music, they do an amazing job.
Overall I am very satisfied with this product. I do believe, though, that if the cushions were a little deeper, it would have made this product 100% better in terms of comfort.

Surprised
Wow, i hoped for a good damped headphone.. And this one does it all!
It fits good on your head, and it stays there, while drumming!
I love the comfort it gives you, it just can become sweaty, because of the pressure on your head.
Sorry neigbours, i can't hear you :-)

Best recording headphones
This is a great choice for drummers in a recording situation. It is quality made and much more comfortable then the previous version for longer wear. Sound is not really studio quality but it is very good. Isolation is excellent.
