The sound protection it provides while playing drums is great, and it's nice you can pump in some music to play along to, or send your mics into it to hear the rest of the band or yourself.

I've only used these without being plugged into a board so far but they offer great hearing protection and better feel for the bass drum/snare.

Great sound and ear protection, while at the same time having the ability to listen to music so you can play along and still hear your drums as you play along, or just use them on their own to protect your ears

Some comments say they are snug fitting (yes, that's hearing protection)and maybe delicate (as all consumer electronics are)Have to be gentle with them

Perfect, high protection, comfort and quality

Overall, though, both headhones are great products and offer fantastic hearing protection and decent sound, although I'd have to give the Howard Leight set the edge on bass, versatility, and price.
