Man nobody gives the B8's any love around here they are a very underappreciated cymbal, but hey I guess I'm a little biased.
Now I know you don't want people who have only used one headphone and loved them since then, but your going to cut out a lot of people and a lot of very high quality headphones by doing that, I'm going to tell you what's worked for me I researched awhile ago (4 years) and money was and continues to be an issue for me, I do not remember The others I searched for, but what worked for me was the Vic Firth Isolation Headphones. I do not have to crank the volume on them to hear the music through my set, the only con is that after using them for three years one of the headphones has started to come apart I'll post a picture if I find time, otherwise they're great.
I played for about a year before deciding hearing protection would be a good idea, (yes I know how stupid that was) now I've lost 20% in my right ear and I have tinnitus in both. That story wasn't nessecarilly for you but rather for anybody else who currently has my former mindset on hearing protection. Hope my review helps.
