I bought a pair of meterophones in nov. '02 and they have been great but recently the sound has only been coming out of one side.....apparantly i need to order a new part but am not having much luck contacting the distribution company....
can anyone recommend a good set of isolation headphones for use with stereo equip......are the vic firth ones any good?.....bearing in mind how good the sound and feel of the meterophones is....
Thanks.

I got the Vic Firth's 2 months ago and love em'. Waited too long to get something like this. Isolation compromise is very good for drumming IMO.

The VF are WAY too boomy for me. I only like the non-metronome metrophones. The GK's are too much $$ IMO.

I also have the metrophones but only use them as regular headphones these days, and they sound better than anything else I've tried. I'd stick with them...

You can also buy a construction type isolation headset and then get something like koss's portapro earphones and stick em inside. They sound great and are way cheaper than the already made ones...

I really like those GK-ultraphones. I have a studio and whenever anyone uses them they can't go back. The nice thing about the ultra's is that you can really hear how the drums are mixed while you're playing. You can't really hear the drums acoustically very much, and you don't have to crank the phones up as much because you're not competing with the acoustic sound.
There is no metronome built in but it has a miniplug and 1/4" adapter to feed into any external clock.
I actually bought these for engineering. I can move a mic an inch while the pianist or whomever is playing, and I can hear it. I can hear the phase with no problems. It beats having an assistant and saves me on time and $$$.
