Many closed back headphones, such as Vic Firth SIH3s. They were made for drummers.

The Vic Firth are right and great for isolation - not needed with an electric kit. The Sony model you picked are my favorite for e-drums. They just go a little lower than 4 or 5 similar priced models I've tried, without exaggerated bass. And on sale they are affordable.

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

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

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.

Vic firth had some solid over ear headphones that also muffle lots of sound. Might fit a little big but he’ll grow into them. Loop ear plugs are great and while not intended for music playing, they have a great product for kids too!
