What about the new product called "Extreme Isolation Earphones"...apparently
have 29 dB of attenuation of external sounds, seems ideal for your task ?

What do you care about? You can get lower leakage than the DT100, but the DT100 has low enough leakage to be used for tracking if that's what you want. The impedance you want depends on what you're plugging it into. You probably want fairly low-Z if you're going to be using a lot of consumer grade gear. If you want to run a dozen headphones in parallel from one source for tracking, you probably want higher-Z phones. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Something like http://remoteaudio.com/hn7506.htm will probably provide the best isolation but there is somewhat of a weight, heat, and cost penalty. Oh, and you have to like the Sony 7506 sound. what about sennheiser models? HD 280 Pro is what I use and I think for $80 or so it's a pretty amazing set of phones. as i will be using it on different installations, which impedance should i look for? The HD280s are 64 Ohms and work well on everything I've connected them to. The 300 Ohm version is nonstandard and would give you trouble with most portable audio devices. |
