Perfecto choice for external monitoring
Direct Sound EX-29 Extreme Isolation Stereo Headphones
Reviewed by Celio Barros on B&H Photo Video
A way to take care to your audition when monitoring a recording session from a concert/show. Confortable to use and a pleasant sound. However, I'll wouldn't try to use it to mix, as well as any other headphones.
Great Cans

Great isolation without sacrificing too much... The lows are a little compromised but well worth the isolation.
EX-29 really impressive for the money!

Using this when recording vocals in my studio and there's really no bleed.. The drivers are decent and better than I expected (i have much more expensive headphone gear) so U can really feel the beat with this model. Earpads are comfortable, only the headband is a little cheapish.
Not so hot

I have had these for a few years. I primarily bought them for when I drum. They do produce good volume but the isolation is poor at best. The connect is poor quality. 2 weeks after buying them the wires were pulling out of the connector. Tonight after I plugged my iPod in the left ear piece stopped working. I would not recommend these for some one who is going to use them on the daily.
Poor Isolation

I bought these for drum practice. My kit is mic'd up with 6 mics run into a mixer which I headphone out from. The isolation just didn't cut it and I found the drums bleeding in far too much. My bluetooth work earmuffs also rated at 29db offer considerably better isolation. I'm not sure the 29db rating on these is accurate. Real shame because the speakers in these sound great.

Isolation works well. A bit warm in the summer.
Cheaply made and overpriced

These are cheaply made and fell apart after three days. They are unattractive too. I don't know why anybody would pay three figures for these. My ears sweat and ache after wearing them for 15 mins. Do not buy these headphones!!!
So far, So good!

I plan on using these headphones will operating my DVX100B but have not, yet. I have tested these headphones out listening to iTunes and directly from a CD and they sounded great!
Brilliant Service

What can I say? Excellent product. They look cool and do the job superbly well. Best of all this company's service is great so I have to disagree with the previous reviewer.
Returned twice. Shopping elsewhere.

I purchased these headphones and when I received them they had these strange burn marks on the side. I exchanged them for the exact same pair and when I got those, they were damaged in the same way. I think they may have even sent me back the pair I returned. I had great customer service whenever I interacted with customer service. I was a little let down when I simply asked for a refund after the second time and stated I would be shopping elsewhere and the representative didn't try in the least to keep me as a customer. Pretty disappointing. ... More
Great for Mixing
Direct Sound EX-29 Extreme Isolation Stereo Headphones
Reviewed by Moshe from The Lab. on B&H Photo Video
I won two pairs of these headphones. They are amazing for Live-Mixing, due to the decibel reduction, as well as the clear sounds. The bass sounds are the best I have found in live mixing headphones.
NOT Worth IT!!

Reviewed by JimmyP on B&H Photo Video
Not BAD but defiantly NOT GOOD! The only reason i purchased these headphones was because of the price and i have already ordered a replacement pair since these only lasted one week. Overall sound quality was good but the construction of the headphones is poor and the plastic broke. These are not made for ENG field work and are NOT Compact!, Durable! or Versatile at all.
Not as advertised.

Decent overall but they don't come with a carry bag, the leather headband, and they don't seal as good as they should if you aren't bald.
So far it is a good product

I do live recording at clubs, and these are mandatory if you want to do any type on monitoring.
