so you don't damage your hearing by accidentally turning up the volume too loud (the directions warn you about listening to the volume louder than medium on your device for extended periods).

I picked these up to protect my hearing when playing acoustic drums, and they really do work as advertised

I got these headphones with the intent of using them for band practice (I play in a metal band) both to protect my hearing and play a metronome through them

These have done wonders to protect my hearing while also letting my hear what is going on in the recording mix even when I am bashing behind the drums with an physically assaulting level of guitar in my face at the same time

I would stay away from these, as it's really easy to find much nicer professional headphones with longer warranties that aren't constructed poorly starting a moderately higher price than what these cost
