Reduces sound levels by 25dB
Tinnitus and hearing loss are among the biggest dangers facing working drummers. A drum kit in a small room can exceed 120dB - beyond the range of OSHA-approved noise exposure for any amount of time. Vic Firth SIH2s reduce sound levels by 25dB. For that same drum kit, this takes exposure levels from dangerous to a safe, sustainable 4 hours a day. For a stage drum kit, you're looking at upwards of 8 hours a day.
Full-range 50mm drivers
Last-gen Vic Firth Stereo Isolation Headphones were great for monitoring. Vic Firth SIH2s exhibit a musical, full-range response that's even more enjoyable to listen to. Upgraded 50mm drivers give the SIH2s deeper bass, punchier mids, and cleaner, more present highs.
More comfortable headband
Also new for v2 is a more comfortable headband to keep you in the moment. This feature really pays off for those all-day tracking sessions and long sets onstage.
