Also I apparently have weird shaped ears, and most other earbuds either fall out or hurt after awhile, but the Bose ones are comfy for me and stay put.

They're out of my life in weeksIf it's any help, the SoundSports are tethered together with a foot of cable, otherwise I'd certainly lose one of the pair, which is kinda worse I think than losing both

..good headphones for recording to a click with. Isolation is key, bonus points if they sound pretty good too. Would spend $100-ish if they meet that criteria.

Ah yes I'm seeing that now, though it seems a little more geared towards location recording. I actually do have a pair of cracked foam 7506s sitting right here (my gfs) and don't imagine them rejecting a 22" crashable ride all too well.If I have to go in blind I'll probably go with one of these Vic Firth models.

Yeah I like that idea, though I wonder if a moderately cranked earbud could potentially do more ear damage than a slightly louder can. I probably won't be recording like this for more than 10-20 minute increments though.

Like I said, I don't feel like I have to crank them to hard because the system pretty much isolates the sound almost completely, It does help to find earbuds that are a little less in a can sounding. I wouldn't do it with those Air buds or regular Apple ear buds because they are horrendous to begin with. In a pinch, I've used my Ear Buds as plugs at shows because they are the kind that are attached with a cable around my neck and I like that if one falls out, I don't lose it like I did my expensive ear plugs.
