Headphones recommendations for electronic drums?

[triston]

Hi.

I'm planning to get an electronic drum.

What kind of headphones should i look into getting? Any recommendations? Will normal headphones do?

Thanks.

Simplest answer:
Anything within your budget with the proper jacks. Converters to a 3.5mm to 1/4' jack are available at electronic shops if you bought the ones with the 3.5mm jacks (ie. the normal mp3 earphone jacks)

Will be good if use a pair of IEMs (In-Ear Monitors) Check out the higher ends Shure, Ulitmate Ears or reasonable ones like westones. Custom molded ones are the best but easily set you back 1.5K to 2.5K for a pair. I would think if you use those normal ipod headphones would not sound nice...

If it is for practise, I think it is better to use a pair of speakers. Prolong usage of earphones, headphones or IEMs will hurt your hearing.
