Are these headphones any good?

Would these be suitable for rehearsals/"live" recording using a headphone amp?

Nah, no good... they're open and look like supra-aurals... lots of leakage which wouldn't be too good for recording (and not give you much isolation either).

Look for some cheap, closed-back circumaurals. Something like this...

The 2 reviews say "...but there are other better sets for similar cost..." and "...That's about it. Not very good quality sound coming out of these. They don't feel very well built..." I'd keep looking. They dont look like they provide much isolation. I had a bunch of AKG K55's, they were about that price. Good isolation, good enough sound quality to track with. They're not in production any more but there's the K44's and K77's instead, which have to be comparable. Just about all my headphones are AKG, I like em a lot.

They have multipacks that include several sets+ a headphone amp too if that's what youre looking for, you can get a pretty good deal.

I agree with mattr. If you're talking about a reference mix for recording, then isolation is the most important factor.

Another option is the More Me headphones. I like them.
