Vic Firth Isolation Stereo Headphones - can't go wrong.
or you could spend 3x less on a pair of vic firth isolation headphones?
I've just started out with playing over samples with my band. I need a pair of headphones where i will be able to hear the sample along with the band in a live situation, and really clear at that. What do you guys suggest?
For headphones: Sennheiser HD-280 Pro (http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-280-Pro-Professional/dp/B000065BPB)
If you wanna spend more money and looks are really important, then check out these custom mold IEM:
Fidelity Custom Earphones (http://www.fidelitycustomearphones.com/) - formeverly LiveWires. lots and lots of good things said about their product and customer service on headphone forums and reviews. Don't confuse them with their old company, LiveWires (now based out of California) which has gotten not-so-good reviews; especially customer service.
I own the HD-280 Pro headphones and they're amazing. They're just about audiophile quality and they isolate REALLY, really well. Just as good as the Vic Firths, except they don't sound like garbage. Highly recommend them.
If you don't mind spending £280 (~$400?) [yeah right] then Dr Dre Monster Beats are pretty awesome. They're not really designed for rock or jazz, which I assume is what your playing, however they sound great playing anything. If you happen to like a wider range of music such as dubstep, or drum and bass, then the Beats are unbeatable (if you'll pardon the pun). The comfiest headphones you'll ever wear too, I have never ever ever taken them off because they felt uncomfortable.
