You've had me up for the past two hours reading reviews.  I think they look like the right set for me.  Do you know anywhere you can listen to them (they still not in the Big Box stores)?   Also, what about the cables they say they will use, can you buy the things anywhere (boom, y, etc.)

Damn, from a features perspective these look nearly perfect. Would you recommend a portable amp with them or are they going to be ok on their own running from a laptop or iPad?

Thanks KimVictor.   I checked out the site, and the HD25's are definitely in the running, but they are on ear instead of around the ear.  Do you think that I will notice much of a difference between them in either leakage or hear more ambient noise?   Also, I stumbled across the AntLion...

All,   I'm new to the game, and need a starter set-up:   Primary Need: Work Head phones for drowning out ambient noise with music and doing VOIP conference calls (both music and calls will be done from a basic consumer laptop with no special audio card).  Need to be sensitive to cube...
