This is insane....had a Pearl kit EXACTLY like that growing up. Ran Vic Firth wired headphones to a Bose entertainment system that held 6 cds. Only difference was I eventually put a double pedal on it and some extra cymbals
Tried the Shure 215s and couldn’t really get them to fit comfortably and snug enough to provide enough ear protection. Saw someone recommend these Vic Firth headphones somewhere else and I think they’re the best possible solution at that price point. Just need a 3.5mm to iPhone adapter. https://vicfirth.com/products/vic-firth-stereo-isolation-headphones
As for tracks get yourself a pair of Vic Firth Stereo Isolation Headphones, I've been using these for years
i love the vic firth studio headphones, don’t do anything bluetooth as that introduces latency which can throw off your playing at any skill level. when i play with other ppl i just wear gun range rated ear plugs or over ears
Vic firth stereo isolation headphones were designed for this, so yes
The Vic Firth ones would be better. They’re ear defenders with built in speakers, rather than just headphones. So they do offer some decent protection, especially for the price point.
I use the Vic Firth headphones. Love em.
Alesis makes some high isolation cans I haven’t tried. There’s the Vic Firth ones that are ok. And Sennheiser HD280 are fairly isolated.
