cheap as hell headphpones that will take a beating
so, i've found myself playing drums to a click live a whole lot lately, and i keep breaking or blowing out various cheap sets of cans. i'm looking for something that covers my ears and has a relatively large driver that can take a whole lot of signal. i don't really want to go in-ear, because i play other instruments on stage and like to keep a set of ear plugs in during sets. are there any sub-$30 headphones anyone could recommend? i just don't want to feel terrible if and when i spill beer on them or something.

these came in the mail saturday and i got to try them out during band practice yesterday. exactly what i needed. i was initially a bit worried about the isolation, as they aren't super great at that, but damn do they go LOUD! i had earplugs in and the headphones turned up pretty loud but not all the way, and i could barely hear myself playing drums, but the click track was right there in my ear.

i bought 5 from mercenary about two years ago. mine have been used and abused in this time period. they've been dropped, cranked for hours, kicked, taped up to heads, etc. and this whole time i dont think i've gotten any solid complaints.
only weeks ago, after the past two years of heavy use i've had to pop them open to fix a loose wire on the inside.
they're great.. just stock up on extenders!

Fostex T20 are the cheapest headphones ever made considering that 30 years later you can still find parts to repair them and, for the very fact that they're repairable!
Real friends stab you in the front.
