Vic Firth - Bluetooth Isolation Headphones (VXHP0012)

I assume you mean over-ear isolating headphones? Obligatory reminder that bluetooth is only useful for drummers in a few occasions, mostly when playing unsynced music to play along to. The latency makes them useless for monitoring. If you've looked at the Vic Firth bluetooth isolating headphones already and find them too expensive, I would advise you to consider them once again. 75 bucks is not a lot of money for any headphone and I think other headphones will easily lack either sound quality or isolation if they are cutting cost. Plus the VFs offer a cabled connection too which can be very useful and versatile. Have you considered IEMs as well? Also consider that you can get a wired-to-bluetooth adapter where you can connect any wired headphones and send the signal over bluetooth. Perhaps not so much cost saving, but a) you can turn any wired headphones into bluetooth, and b) when the headphones fail you only have to replace the (cheap) headphone part and not the bluetooth part as well.

vic firth blue tooth headphones are better and cheaper imo

I use the Vic Firth headphones. Love em.

Alesis makes some high isolation cans I haven’t tried. There’s the Vic Firth ones that are ok. And Sennheiser HD280 are fairly isolated. 

Vic firth had some solid over ear headphones that also muffle lots of sound. Might fit a little big but he’ll grow into them. Loop ear plugs are great and while not intended for music playing, they have a great product for kids too!

I primarily use my Vic Firth cans but also have a pair of Sennheiser hd280pro. the Sennheisers sound a little better and more comfortable for longer periods of time, but the Vic Firths have better isolation.

The Vic firth headphones are very solid for drumming I’ve used them for 5+ years now and I don’t plan on switching anytime soon!

This OP. Unless you're intending to track and record album quality records and go professional, the EAD10 gets you 90% of a full mic kit without the added cost of stands and mounting hardware, whilst giving you a basic mixer to get an aux input and headphones+1/4 inch speaker outputs. Especially without acoustic treatment in the room as well as spending time learning mic technique and placement, the Yamaha EAD10 gets you most of the way there. The EAD10 also replaces the processing work of making the mix of separate drum mics in a traditional recording setup sound good, which is yet another niche skill you need to learn if you were to go for a traditional mic setup. Tons of social media drummers use the EAD10 as their primary recording device and sound decent. Pair this with a mono or stereo pair of active monitors that fit your budget range and you're golden. Do note to get active monitors so you don't have to get an external power amp for passive monitors. For recording, you may want to buy a splitter to split the monitor sends to a recording interface. Note however that you'll get a stereo mixdown of the drums and backing music if that's what you're sending to your monitors since its the same outputs. USB two channel recording interfaces are very easy to find on a budget, be it new or used. As for headphones, Vic Firth Isolation headphones sound mediocre but serviceable, whilst boasting superior isolation for ear protection as compared to most headphones out there and is a safe choice. An alternative for good isolation is in-ears with foam eartips, but sizing of eartips may be an issue for a kid.
