SeilorBird, I know what you mean. I'm getting tinitus now almost 24/7.. my hearing isn't what it used to be. I can't afford anything even over a hundred these days. But I do like over ear for the drumming and if there's noise cancelling, even better. I have a pair of Sony bluetooths I use for my cellphone music, but don't you find there's even just the slightest lag when using with your drums (or watching music videos)? I tried mine back when I got my Alesis and it was just too frustrating, the slight delay drove me nuts. I re-tried them a few nights ago watching some Youtube and home made videos, and there was just a millisecond or so and it was enough to make it not enjoyable. So I'm stuck with wired until they speed up the connectivety.
