Looking for Headphones to drum along with
Take a look at the Sennheiser HD 280 PRO phones. Good isolation, audio quality and price.

Ex LG owners: What dongle are you using now?
I still use my LG V60 as my daily driver and I also have a great refurb V60, G8X, and V30 that I use my Earfun UA 100 portable DAC/AMP with. It is nearly identical to the Shanling UA2 Plus. They both use the ES9038Q2M SABRE DAC chip and dual RT6863 amplifier chips, supporting up to 32-bit/768kHz PCM

My Vic Firth’s broke. Recs for iso headphones?
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.

Amplifier
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

Headphones for making and mixing
I use Sennheiser HD 280 Pro, which are on the cheaper end of things but I've been happy with them personally. I've used them for long enough now that I've learned how they sound, which is probably half the battle. I'm interested in going wireless because I'm sick of cables getting in the way when I'

Any Headphone Recommendations?
Sennheiser HD 280 or 300 Pro are good but more than you want to spend. I doubt you'll be happy in that price range. I personally have the 300s.

What headphones with ear Protections do you recommend?
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
