Quick Product Summary

The Roland VMH-D1 V-Drums Headphones are premium over-ear monitoring headphones developed specifically for electronic drums. Created jointly by Roland's V-Drums team and V-MODA, they are tuned to reproduce the powerful transients, extended frequency range and detailed overtones produced by modern electronic drum kits.

Custom 50 mm dual-diaphragm drivers provide tight kick-drum lows, full-bodied mids and detailed cymbal highs, while large memory foam ear cushions provide both comfort and useful isolation from acoustic pad noise. Two detachable cables, a headphone hanger and carrying pouch make the VMH-D1 particularly practical for everyday practice, rehearsal and recording.

What Makes the Roland VMH-D1 Special?

Standard music headphones are not always optimised for the extreme dynamics of electronic drums. The VMH-D1 has been specifically tuned to reproduce everything from deep kick drums and powerful toms to fast snare transients, cymbal decay and ambience effects with clarity and separation.

Comfort has also been designed around drummers. Large memory foam ear cushions, a padded headband and moisture-wicking synthetic leather help keep the headphones securely positioned during energetic playing, while the supplied 3-metre cable gives plenty of freedom to route the connection away from your sticks and pedals.

• Roland V-Drums players
