Generally, any alternate tips for this sort of situation are appreciated as well.

If it's a one-room setup, isolation will be a major factor. Beyer Dynamics makes a DT770M which provides a Ambient noise isolation spec of > 35 dB (A).

This could come in pretty handy in your situation!
They don't sound half bad. I just got them in at my studio because every time i have a drummer say turn it UP UP UP when i'm sending them click, i feel very guilty as i know thy're damaging their hearing.
with these isolation phones, i cna send them a lot less click as it's not masked by all the bleed from their kit.
also for acoustic guitar, etc. to clicks you get a lot less click spill on the mic.
in mixing, i prefer these ghastly expensive open, non isolated sennheisers as they're extremely detailed. when using them, i mute the control room mains and listen...
but wouldn't want a band in the room w/ me at the time!
go the beyers.
btw/ those EXTREME ISOLATION phones are absolute ****e quality and sound. the pair we had lasted on week!!!dfegad
