Take a look at the Sennheiser HD 280 PRO phones. Good isolation, audio quality and price.

From my own experience/collection: Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro would be my top choice for your purpose. One of the most comfortable closed headphones out there for extended use. I can wear these for hours and hours. Sennheiser HD-380 Pro are also very comfortable, and isolate better than the Beyers. Sen

Toxicity, no skips I also happen to have HD 280 Pro headphones from Sennheiser that have fantastic noise isolation, so that helps on top.

Sennheiser HD 280s I found them to have just as much isolation as the Vic Firths but more comfortable and better sounding. The only thing I dislike is the curly cable.

I know you’re asking about amps and not headphones but I enjoy my edrums immensely more using these closed back headphones which sound great and block out the thud of hitting plastic https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/HD280Pro--sennheiser-hd-280-pro-closed-back-studio-and-live-monitoring-headph

If you’re narrowing it to AKG K371, Shure SRH840A, Sennheiser HD 280 Pro, and Beyer DT770 Pro, you basically picked the actually useful on a loud stage shortlist. K371 is the most neutralish of the bunch and it seals well enough for stage, plus you get long detachable cables in the box, so you’re no

Personally, I still use the Sennheiser HD 410's I bought in 1983. However, my 410's use foam ear pads, so there can be some bleed over when using them in the studio. Given that, if I were to recommend a set of headphones for recording and general playing, it would be the Sennheiser 280. Decent price

Take it from someone who has (and enjoys) the HD 280 Pros: A pair of cheap in-ears will certainly get you better isolation and perfectly adequate sound reproduction for a fraction of the price. You can literally get the KZ ZSN Pro for $25 on Amazon and it will probably sound better than any $150+ ca
