El producto es de buena calidad. Mi hijo de 8 toca la batera y queramos proteger sus odos y realmente funciona. El los usa cmodamente.
Love them. So happy. Perfect for drummers. I don’t play without them now. They make the drums sound sooo lovely. Thanks vicfirth
Son una pasada, perfectos. La calidad del sonido es increble y adems el estreo que tiene es brutal. Sin duda una gran compra
My son uses it for drum lessons and is able to FaceTime with his teacher for instruction. These really are the gold standard.
These headsets are uncomfortable. So I bought a bunch of others. None of them come close to these in blocking drums. Threw all the others away. I am a soft hitter. I use 7A maple sticks. Yet still, even with these, drums are louder than I would like. Drums are unbearably loud with the others. Maybe if you have already destroyed your hearing, you can use headsets that don’t block as much.
My son is a nine year old drummer. He tends to be extremely sensitive about how things feel and is very sensitive to noise. These headphones came highly recommended and have no disappointed. My son loves the comfort and they certainly do a great job with sound. I have also tried them on and agree that they are very comfortable (on my adult head). Vic Firth seems to be in the sweet spot for comfort, performance, and price.
Perfette per le mie necessit. Con le AKG K240 che gi avevo (ottime per altri scopi) venivo disturbato dal rumore della percussione sui meshpad e sulla gomma dei piatti della mia batteria elettronica Roland.
Risolto con questo prodotto. Certamente fanno una discreta pressione; alla lunga potrebbe dare un po’ di fastidio, ma necessaria per l’isolamento e ci si pu fare l’abitudine.
Buone, isolano dalla batteria quanto basta, ottime x ascoltare la musica, cavo 1metro e 70 cm. . C’ anche l’altro Jack quello grande.
Le sto usando da un po’ e da batterista credo siano le migliori opzioni per proteggere le orecchie in maniera ottimale sia per quanto riguarda la sicurezza sia per quanto riguarda la qualit di quello che effettivamente si sente. Per farvi capire, non una cuffia che vi elimina certe frequenze, come altre che ho provato in passato, bens come se prendesse tutto il suono e lo abbassasse di volume. Queste cuffie in particolare le uso per proteggermi e basta, di solito al massimo uso altri auricolari da sotto queste cuffie per sentire la musica e suonarci da sopra mentre continuo a proteggermi le orecchie. Io consiglio, per quanto riguarda la mia esperienza.
Great for sound isolation
Very big though. Similar isolation to my Shure SE 215’s which are more discreet & not as heavy
Great for the price, besides I think Vick Firth is a good company to deal with when it comes to the drumming community.
Using with my electronic kit, sound really good. My previous headphones I was using weren’t giving me enough volume plus bass drum and crash sounds were a bit messy. These cancel external sound really well and allow me to turn the volume up higher, sound quality is really good.
Sound pretty good with guitar aswell.
Very happy
I’m using these to record acoustic drums in my home studio.
They cover your ears very well cutting out the live drums so you to hear live or recorded music through the headphones.
They work great and sound pretty good too!
Does as it says it would. Quick delivery. Very happy.
Il prodotto che merita le 5 stelle. Cuffia perfetta. Riproduce a modo eccezionale il suono della batteria.
Note: used for mic’d drums and incoming recorded (itunes) and live music while playing.
I have been using Beats rechargeable noise canceling headphones for a few years now. They worked well but the ear muffin part was disintegrating . There was also noise bleeding through. Currently the drums are mic’d into a 16 channel mixer and out put into a head phone amplifier/monitor. The sound is excellent. the noise cancellation from ambient drums is unreal when you pop out an ear to listen. Good quality/length chord, the cans are comfy, big but you will sweat after a while. Volume in ears is lower to achieve same mix! Nice not having to wait to charge before noise cancelation and tough. already dropped and hit with sticks in less than a week. Very pleased!
I bought these to protect my hearing. I play in a loud band and I’ve used in-ear monitors (Mackie) that were pretty good at blocking the sound, but not good enough to stop my ears from ringing at the end of the night. Then I tried Bose headphones with active noise cancellation and they failed at very loud sounds like rim shots and loud guitar leads. These are the best I’ve tried. They drop the sound levels significantly and without any active noise cancellation. The only 2 complaints are that they are not comfortable on long sets because they have to be tight to block the sound. I understand that and am willing to deal with it. The second thing is I was getting a little “crackle” in the monitor even though I didn’t have it turned up very loud. Wasn’t too bad and could have been an issue with the PA. Overall, these are great at protecting your hearing and sound-wise, not perfect, but not bad.
The headphones work just fine without spending a lot of money . Would we buy again Yes…
La livraison a t rapide . Bonne qualit de son et confortable
Los uso para tocar la batera, junto con otros instrumentos, y aislarme un poco del sonido ambiente. Tambin para ponerme msica y tocar la batera encima. Para eso son perfectos, ya que atena el volumen de fondo pero no se pierden demasiadas frecuencias… Lgicamente, al cabo de un tiempo empiezan a incomodar un poco, pero eso pasa con todos. Si los quieres como auriculares de estudio, mejor elegir otros auriculares ms pensados para eso.
Sound from the headphone speakers is really good. However as a drummer the the sound from the drums is not cancelled as much as I had hoped and is much more intrusive and “tinny” than when just using my Peltor earmuffs which use the exact same earmuff cup. I suspect there is a little more muffling in the earmuffs than the headphones due to the speakers taking up some space in the cup.
Overall though I am fairly happy with them, they do the job and are good value for money.
I specifically went for these headphones after seeing them used in the awesome in-studio performances of Zildjan Live on Youtube. They are definitely professional quality, offer very good noise cancellation and excellent, clear sound quality. This makes it all the more unfortunate that these headphones are very tight and significantly squeeze my head. I’m normally using headphones to play my electronic drums for about 2 hours but I became pretty uncomfortable wearing these for 30 minutes. Everything else about the product is great though, especially the price so I’ll still keep them.
UPDATE: After using these for a few days, I’ve found I got used to the tightness of them and it’s really not that bad. I guess I’m just used to loose over-ear headphones.
The sound quality is amazing perfect noise cancelling headphones perfect for drumming sadly the lead is quite short so if you want to have an extension it’s best if you buy a two female JackAdapter and longer male jack lead. Apart from that absolutely brilliant product sometimes hurts around the head
Definitely work, if you’re having trouble hearing your music or click over the kit then these are for you. I hit hard and I can hear my click fine. I was a bit skeptical before, but they work fine. Bit dear though
Pretty good product but….Cable should be a bit longer, and they pick up some bad resonance from my 10″ tom.
I’ve got severe tinnitus and have to watch out when I’m out and about. Usually I wear ear defenders to help going down the street but with these Vic Firth’s – I can enjoy my music quietly, blocking out external noise, and enjoy some peace and calm whilst listening to heavy metal… (no paradox there I promise!).
Would thoroughly recommend the investment in these, and especially encourage young musicians to consider getting a pair and protecting your ears with them.
The bad:
This product would have easily been a 5 star for me… However… the lack of having adjustable ear pieces are a real draw back…
The Good:
This product got me back on my drum kit! I had stopped playing for a few years. I tried using a few other earphone sets and constantly I was losing my time and place in the song… When I tried these, OMG… I knew exactly where I was in the song and they returned my confidence in playing again to me! I recommend this product..
I can believe how good the headphones work with my Sabian sound kit. My drum kit sounds amazing, its a 100% improvement from what I thought were good headphones. Well worth the money.
These are designed for drumming amd likely they would be perfect for that. I got them hoping they would creat a sonically quiet space for my child with attention issues to have a more distrction free environment at home. She says they help but they do not keep all outsode noise out instead just muffle the sound. It helps some though so we will keep them.
Headphones work very good for noise cancellation I use them for practice with the drums My only complaint is they get a little uncomfortable if you wear them for long periods
Excelente sonido, un poco caluroso en la zona pero el sonido es excelente
I don’t normally take the time to do reviews but this one is worth it. I use isolation headphones for recording drums. They allow me to hear what I’m playing along to better and also keep my ears from getting tired. I was using Direct Sound Extreme Isolation headphones for years, but the foam started to get worn out and they were no longer comfortable. First of all the Vic Firth headphones are quieter than those, they are more comfortable and the sound quality is excellent. I can’t tell you how long they will last down the road, but if the quality is anything like their drum sticks I’m sure they will be fine.
My Alexis drum headphones stopped working after only a couple months…they were more expensive than these Vic Firth ones and didn’t isolate as well. These are well worth the money. I’ve actually seen them used to recording other instruments like guitar in pro studios. They are not good mixing headphones of course, but they’re excellent for isolating the instrument your playing/recording from surrounding noise and enhancing your electronic drum kit sound.
Great product. My 15yr old son is now drumming his heart out to his favourite music. Rock O
So glad I had these during the pandemic. Great for when my family is all talking at the same time, and I need some quiet. 🙂
First off, the noise cancellation is stellar. Going from using earplugs to using these when playing the drums and practicing with my band is a huge difference. From my end, the snare and bass sound much more solid, compared to the earplugs that muffled them out. In addition, you can plug the headphones into an audio port and play music/sounds through the headphones while you play. This is the reason I bought these so that I can practice along with songs or a metronome and be able to hear both sounds. Lastly, comfort is good, but if you shouldn’t worry about that. I wear these headphones for hours on end and they fit great.
I forgot to mention how durable these headphones are. The amount of times I have banged them on cymbals or dropped them is ridiculous and yet they still look brand new and remain in tact. Thank you Vic Firth!
I bought these to use with my electric drum set and they work very well. The sound is very good and they block ambient noise well – I couldn’t hear my neighbor knocking on my front door and I was in the same room. They seem pretty sturdy and I have pulled on the cabe several times without any issue. I would like the cable to be about 2 ft longer. They fit snug. If your head is large, they might be a little tight.
Wird hier im Haus fr Vocal Recording benutzt. Super Passive Isolation um mic bleeding vorzubeugen. Klanglich schn ausgewogen, besser als manch anderer Kopfhrer fr weitaus mehr Geld. Also nicht nur fr Drummer optimal, auch fr jegliche andere Recording Aktivitten sehr zu empfehlen. Top Produkt!!
El aislamiento acstico es una maravilla para ensayar o grabar en estudio, los materiales son de buena calidad, aparentan ser frgiles pero hasta ahora se encuentran en buen estado, no se mueven de lugar tras mucho movimiento.La calidad de audio NO es maravillosa comparado con audfonos de estudio profesionales, pero cumple con la funcin principal por la cual fue adquirida. Gran producto, muy recomendado!
Great headphones for blocking out the noise and best value headphones.
These are excellent for practicing drums to recorded music . You can play along with having to have the cranked full blast and hear the music over the drums . It makes it so much more fun and way easier to practice !
I’ve been considering purchasing this product for a long time now. I am not a professional musician, but I do enjoy playing drums and practice for me was “learning” a song and then sitting behind the kit and “playback” the track mentally in my head. Tempos were off, section lengths were off, always made a mistake here and there because I’d be trying to remember the actual song.
These headphones have made it so easy to practice now. I just connect it to the laptop, load up a track, and away I go. No more trying to remember the song….I just hear it and my playing flows much more naturally and comfortably. The sound quality from these are great and they’re very comfortable to wear. In fact, they’re so comfortable and isolate so well that practice goes on longer periods.
Highly recommend this to any musician out there. Worth the investme
J’adore pour le prix sais imbattable. L’oreille est bien enveloppe et les sons externes sont rduit de 25 db ce qui optimise la sonorit. Je m’en sert pour jouer dans les bar comme moniteur.
Brilliant product, brought as a present.
My partner is very happy with them.
Great sound quality.
Usually size of a headset is never a problem for me as I usually never go far over the short adjustments…. This however at Max adjustment just barely fits me and is almost too small. It’s been durable and sounds great!
Very affordable quality isolated sound. Seems to be the only style like this. The reason that I gave it 5 stars for sound is because I have a headphone amplifier. I highly recommend getting one of those or the headphones may be a tad quiet. Playing drums live through my little board is awesome now because of these headphones. Love em
Bought this for my son who is a drummer and he’s really pleased with these headphones. Very good noise isolation but can still hear the drums perfectly.
These headphones are great for when you have an in ear monitor to combine with music while playing any instrument. I mostly use it to play drums and i cant hear much but the snare and it helps me perform better.
Pros:
Great noise cancelation
Great sound isolation
Great ear protection
Cons:
Uncomfortable after an hour
Not the best fit with non custom in ear monitors
Why buy $300 noise-cancelling headphones when you can get the same for $100?
My daughter is learning to play the drums, and an acoustic drum set is loud enough to cause hearing damage.
My daughter loves these for protecting against loud noises as they fit her head.
– Dad rocking out on the drum set
– Parrot squawking
– 4th July Fireworks
– Rodeo/Conce
Good quality good sound very good isolation great for practice, gig and recording.
These are great for drummers tracking. The sound is functional but not something you want to mix on or enjoy music with. Its just a tool for tracking. Built like a rock.
Je l’utilise pour jouer du saxophone dans une cabine insonorise. Que soit pour le mtronome ou un playback le son et plutt pas mal sans bien sr rivaliser avec un casque audio de rduction de bruit active mais sont vrai plus c’est la protection auditive excellente.
Cela me permet de pratiquer mon instrument sans m’exploser les oreilles.
Je ne l’ai jamais essay en rptition avec d’autres musiciens vue la grosseurs du casque a fait un peu costume de la soupe au choux.
Je l’utilise aussi pour couter de la musique en passant la tondeuse cela vite de mettre le volume trop fort.
J’avais le modle prcdent et je trouve que celui ci est bien meilleur autant ou niveau du son que du confort.
De los mejores que he probado. Aislan totalmente del exterior. Son perfectos para tocar la batera sobra una msica de fondo.
The product is excellent. I’ve been using this for my E-Drum kit and I’m amazed by the sound quality and noise cancelling feature. Although the comfort on ears is a little bit tight, perhaps because it’s new. Over-all it’s perfect.
Every drummer needs these ! They are the best don’t waste time on others.
Allows you to protect your ears from harsh drum sounds in small rooms.
Allows you to get a nice and safe mix of audio in your ears.
My kit sounds so much better I’m my small studio where before it was simply too loud and harmful.
Now I mic the kit and able to control the volume through the mixer out to the headphones.
I bought another pair for my son as we play two kits together and wanted him to benefit form the great mix I had. Also like any Dad I wanted to protect his little ears.
I strongly believe that these headphones will save money because it improves the acoustic sound of cymbals and drums while allowing you to plug the iPhone or whatever in to play along with.
They could only be improved by having a detachable cable so you could just use them as ear defenders if you wanted to without the lead dangling down.
I have tinnitus so I know how important this issue is, I with I had these years ago to look after my ears as they would have allowed me to play Drums safely.
Get these now 🙂
Me ha gustado mucho como te aisla del ruido exterior, los utilizo con una batera electrnica y te aisla totalmente del golpeo a los pads con lo que el volumen no tiene porqu estar a tope. La calidad de sonido es bastante buena.
Lo nico que no me gusta (y por lo que no le doy 5 estrellas) es que no traen ni una simple funda de tela para guardarlos, que por el precio que tienen ya la podan haber incluido. A el cable yo le hubiera puesto 30 cms. ms.
Loved them! The only thing that is a little bit hard is the putting them on, you just have to pull a little bit I guess that is why they are very good at canceling noise. They are great for playing soundtracks while playing the drums would buy again.
I’ve been using the VF Mk I headphones for a year or two and was pretty impressed with them as they offered good attenuation and allowed some top end from the cymbals through. The audio quality was a bit lacking on the bottom end but was acceptable. Sadly, they bit the dust at a recent gig so I visited Amazon but was a bit worried to see the Version II headphones advertised. I purchased a pair and used them at a gig last night.
They grip quite tightly so no chance of them falling off. I was concerned that they’d be uncomfortable at the end of the gig but actually they were fine. I don’t like the ‘acoustic’ sound of them quite as much as the old model…it’s a bit flat but the level of attenuation is still good and comfortable.
The in-ear sound quality is certainly different to the older model. I use microphones on my drum kit as well as microphones on my band-mates’ instruments, controlling the sounds and levels with an 8-track mixer. Here’s how the kit sounds:
Kick drum: A little bit more bottom end but not drastically different
Snare: This does sound different…much more middle frequencies making by 6.5″ brass snare sound like a wooden model.
Toms: These sound better I think. More of a studio sound so something of an improvement.
Overheads: Less treble…a bit more middle. Able to compensate with the mixer.
Rather strangely, my cowbell cut through really well as did snare rim-shots. I was never able to hear them with the the old headphones.
So, to conclude, I’m a little bit disappointed overall but these are OK and do the job. Pretty reasonable price. It remains to be seen how long they last.
Hope this helps.
I use these for drumming on an electric kit as well as live monitor mixes and it works great. The drop-off in dB to everything going on around me is great. My wife has to do funny dances to get my attention. There’s a difference between these and a $200 set of studio headphones but not a significant one.
my Son
Amazing.Its just what a drummer needs.Its isolated by 25 dB which is amazing for drums so you can really hear the song/click.
I was very surprised at how well the ambient sound was reduced. I am a drummer and I have tintinous. I really wanted custom in ear monitors (AT6 64audio) but can’t afford them right now. So this was my last shot before giving up 40 plus years of playing. I also bought a Berringer personal headphone stereo amplifier. ( I consider Berringer cheap and definately not pro equipment, but was very surprised by how well it worked and the quality). I used a monitor send from my mixer hard wired into the headphone amp. The music was clear with no distortion. I actually had to add my drums into the mix to hear them cleanly. When playing, I had no problem hearing the music at a reasonable volume (half of max volume) along with my drums. Definately no ear fatigue and it will protect my ears from addition hearing loss. I wish I had these when I first started playing in grade school. I added live vocals into the mix and they were clear and on top of the mix perfectly. So bottom line I really like them. The only down side is they are hot around your ears. (From sweating while playing) Small price to save your hearing!
Generally, I found these headphones to have better audio quality and to be more comfortable than the originals. That said, I also found the originals to do a slightly better job with blocking out noise.
That said, these work really well. If you need noise cancelling in an environment where active noise cancelling is not allowed or appropriate, these can’t be beat.
Great value. They fit comfortably on my head. Playing drums with these is great. My 5 year old also uses them when playing drums. The sound attenuation is great keeping sound levels below the hearing damage threshold. I plan on buying another set. They replaced a $6 harbor freight set which, compared to these, suck!
The product arrived on time, properly packaged and in new condition. The headset fits well and is very comfortable on my head for several hours without any issue. The sound is good. It’s not what I would consider audiophile quality but it suits my purpose of listening to music as I play along with drums. The noise from outside the headset is greatly reduced allowing me to play the drums without hearing damage. Great value.
Good headphones. Great for flights. Typically, when you fly you are exposed to 85 db from commercial airliner flying at cruise speed and even more during takeoff or landing. Prolong exposure of 85 db is okayed by the government. If they weren’t then no one would fly. I personally don’t consider 85 db safe and believe that it does cause hearing damage. I like to protect my ears from this and also in case there are babies crying. With these on I don’t worry about that.
I use these for practicing and playing my digital piano, and working with my recordings. Such an improvement over the piece of junk I was using. They isolate, and the sound is true and full. Comfortable, and they seem sturdily put together. I have a smallish head and they are comfortably snug. If you have a bigger head, your mileage may vary.
la version 2 est vraiment mieux, plus de basse qui font beaucoup de diffrence!
Ordered these for my husband, who’s a drummer as he wanted these for a Christmas present. He’s reported back that they perform really well while he’s playing.
Der Kopfhrer schliet nach auen wunderbar ab und isoliert den Klang wirklich sehr gut. Die Wiedergabe kann ich nur bzgl TV Klang beurteilen, der ist aber glasklar und differenziert. Ein prima Kopfhrer.
Great isolation headphones! Makind sure that the young drummer in the family protects his ears!
Amazing sound quality and really good at cancelling outside noise. I have these for my electric drum kit. Highly recommend, you will not regret it!
Die Kopfhrer binden die Umgebungsgerusche gut ab. Er sitzt natrlich recht stramm, aber noch unangenehm. Das Wichtigste: Der Sound ist viel besser als gedacht. Er weckt keine groen Emotionen durch viel Bass oder sonstigen Schnrkel, sondern ist eher neutral…aber trotzdem gut.
These work very well to reduce the noise level. They are a size good for small children, probably up to age 7 or 8. They did not fit the 9 year old or the 11 year old comfortably. Length from top of head to bottom of ear is not long enough for the older child. Over all, we were happy with them.
These headphones are some of the best I’ve tried to accomplish that, and do an excellent job of cutting out the sound of the drums and listening to the mix without cranking the mix volume up too high. I also own a pair of Direct Sound EX-29, and would prefer the Vic Firth to those every time.
The sound is good, but I wouldn’t say incredible. I’m no audio expert, but to me, the sound feels just a tad shallow, focusing more on mid range and into the highs, and lacking a little in the low end. You won’t feel the thud of your kicks that rattle your brain, but alternatively, your mix is going to be clean and clear and not muddied by too much bass. I enjoy having my mix at a lower volume and not having the mix encroached upon by the acoustic volume of the kit. This is something I’ve struggled with while jamming with others — one of us is always too loud to compensate.
I enjoyed these vic firth so much, I had to come on here and give my suggestion, as I’ve had some difficulty finding something that worked well, and I was personally worried that the lower price point of these would make them inferior.
I bought this for my step-daughter as she is on the spectrum. They work wonderful for toning out the noise outside, not completely sound proof but they dim down the noise enough to make it manageable. I put them on myself to test them out prior and I would wear them myself. Great product and very well made. Good price for a great product.
I bought them to wear during band practice. Great! But only four stars for being really tight on my head.
Maybe I just need to break them in a little. Overall, not disappointed.
Great protection for everyone in the family. The only problem I have with it is it tends to hurt my ears after 5 minutes (since I wear glasses, in which case I need to be on the look out for a bigger one they use for cutting mowers). My son who plays the drums, loves LOVEs it though
what I need to hear for instruction. This comes with a price, so I have always had some ringing and a boxed in affect to my hearing
for at least a week or so after teaching a camp. This past week I bought the VF headphones and tried them out during one of my
band camp gigs and I am really pleased. I can’t use them as I actually teach the students, but when they join the band inside for full
ensemble and the decibels exceed the threshold of pain, these babies do the trick. Today I stood right in front of an over zealous tuba
player and next to the rim shot happy snare line and I could only feel the music in my body and could barely hear the actual music.
(and that’s a good thing!) So, moral of the story- teach the snare line using practice pads when playing inside and then wear the
VF headphones when the going gets tough. By the way, my wife tried them out and she may start using them to isolate her from
the soothing sounds of my snoring at night. So far so good from a construction and durability standpoint.
My child uses these when she does homework. I have older children who bring friends home and it can get noisy. We don’ t have a big house so it is hard to find a quiet place to do homework. These seemed to help. It did not take away all noise as some people had said but for us it was better with them than without. My older son uses them too because the computer is near the TV and if he is doing homework the tv distracts him. The headphones help with the sounds around him so he can’t hear the TV and isn’t as distracted.
hey’re awesome! feels like im isolated behind the kit and they are quite comfy, if you have been using normal headphones as a noise canceller these will put them to shame.
Pretty great headphones, have used it on a 6 month old and 18 month old. We are season ticket holders to our local soccer team and sit in the section next to the supporters group. That means the section next to us is constantly singing yelling making a lot of noise. Picked these up to deal with how loud the stadium gets when goals are scored. They have done the job. Because they are children though they do fidget with the headphones and try to take it off.
The child is using these to block loud volume in the classroom. It helps him a lot.
Not as sound proof as I would have liked but they may work good. Thank you
I wore these headphones, and a set of foam earplugs to the club with her, and sat close to the band. The band was so loud that my back felt like the drummer was hitting me with the drum sticks, and while the sound was a little too loud for my comfort, my ears didn’t ring any worse after the night was over than they did before.
My wife thought they looked a little funny, but one of the band members pointed me out, and said he should be wearing them, too.
The advertisement said they were 22 dB of attenuation, but the packaging said 25 dB. So, I got twice as much protection as I paid for.
I wear glasses, so there was some discomfort, and maybe a little less attenuation than if I didn’t wear glasses, but altogether, they worked.
I have a large head, and they just fit.
Update: March 18, 2014
I have moderate to severe hearing loss, and that seems to make my ears even more susceptible to noise. Even when I wear earplugs on an airliner, my ears still ring afterwards. On my last trip, I flew 4 legs. One leg I had Hear-O’s large blue foam plugs in, and I didn’t need these, but I wore them with orange earplugs the other three legs, and had no problems with sound causing my ears to ring. They are a bit tight on my head, but I’ll put up with some discomfort (in fact, a lot) to save what’s left of my hearing.
If you are reading this, you are trying to save your ears, too. I don’t care if you buy this product, or another, just get as much protection as you can afford. Hearing is a non-renewable resource!
