My review :
I have them plugged into a sound board which connects to my iPod and to drum mics. From the very first time I played them with these headphones I was OMG! I was stunned.

I have had numerous over-the-ears headsets and earplug headsets the past 10 years and they all have contributed to hearing loss in one way or another. Nothing ever balanced right and I had to keep the volume up to overcome the ambient sound of the drums. These headphones darn near eliminate the ambient drum sound which allows me to operate them at a very low volume and still distinctly hear both the music and the drums without the ambient drum noise masking them both. My Brainwavz HM5 are every bit as good as my high end Bose over-the-ear headphones I use on long international flights. They do different things, of course, but in terms of overall quality and effectiveness at what they do, I'd rate them equal.

If these headphone were hanging in a music store and I had a chance to play drums wearing them, I'd easily have been willing to pay double what they cost. To say I'm pleased would be a gross understatement and while they're a bit bulky that's precisely why they are extremely comfortable to wear.
