Thanks you, as I don't want to buy a closed headset but I still want to be sure of my buy I'll need your help guys:

 

First of all,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLaVXZASX2E  In this video, the volume is probably very high right? Like.. 80~100% ?

 

Second, this is sound registration I just made of the noise in my room

(Microphone: 8€ Trust one at 100/100 volume and a Boost of +20db )

I'm actually using a pair of Sennheiser HD407 and while playing I don't hear any noise.

 

So, considering these two factors, an open headphones could be fine/good/ok or not really good/bad/impossible to me?

If I have no choice but closed headphones, what should I aim to?

 

I was thinking at the Xonar Xense bundle, what do you think?

At 100%, my 555s sound like my old speakers on low but as I type this, I'm tabbed out of Skyrim with the volume at 40%. I can't hear anything coming from them when I lay them down on the desk. They have to be cranked up almost to full in that firs video. Don't forget too, they'll be on your head and it looks like they're getting sound from inside the cups. Once again, I don't have experience with the 598s just the 555s. But I can't see the sound bleed to be that different between the two of them. These don't bleed that badly. 

 

As for getting noise with them on, you'll get some. I have my PC next to me and and a fan behind me. While listening to music, I can't hear of it and my PC is pretty noisy (2x GPUs running with fans at 70%). I think you'll be okay going with the 598s. 

 

Conversely, I've heard a few good things about the 350s as well. Those however, I have no idea about.

Thanks you iBage

A few people spoke me very good about the 350s but only on the gaming side.

 

Now all what I have to do is choice between HD598 and PC360
