Thanks for all of your responses!

Ok, so I'm hearing a lot of Sennheiser HD 555 and Sony V6. How does sound compare for an R&B/Jazz/Classical/ Hip-hop listener? Also, how do they compare in comfort?

My main concern with the HD555 is that they look really big. Does anyone know where I can find photos of someone actuall wearing them?

I'm liking that the V6's fold up, and I'm particularly impressed by the 4.5 star rating on Amazon. I will admit that the earpieces look kinda funky, but willing to look over that.

Also, someone asked if I was using an amp. I'm not really sure what that is, but I don't think I am (I just want to plug them into an mp3 player). Can someone explain what exactly a headphone amp is? The wikipedia articles

Finally, for anyone who has used sennheiser or sony open models, can you comment on the amount of leakage?

THANKS AGAIN!!
