Default Any Sealed grados sr60

I really enjoy the grados sr60 sound, although they really really leak. I had a chance to try them out at a store and listened to them for a long time. Although I'm always in the campus library and i really want a pair of closed headphones. Seems as if the eh350 or ATH m30 is the closest I can get.

What is the COLSEST closed headphones with the same or similar sound as the grados sr60 ? And how colse do they sound to the grados?

Thanks for the help

I do not know of any sealed version of the Grado or any headphone with the Grado sig that's closed. (Man, Grados do guitar so well-- I was listening with my Grados as I was writing... They do drumsticks really well too )

Anyway, I like the Sony Eggos - they are fast and lively and clear & detailed. I use them also when I take the Grados off.

the eh350 is not closed so they will leak.

Sennheiser HD 25 1 are reasonably close to the Grado sound, and closed.

I agree Eggos are fairly close to the Grado-y sound. There's an obvious difference in character between my ER4s and my Grados, the Eggos are much more similar.
