Which headphones leak the least amount of sound?

I'm looking for any headphones that leak the least amount of sound possible, even at high volumes. That's basically it.

If your head can support the huge clamping force from the HD380pro, you can try it,lol.

Probably IEMs.

 

But, if you want actual headphones, you'll want over-ear, closed back, with strong clamping force.  Koss has some really strong, sealed headphones that block all kinds of sounds.  The new Sonys are said to block sound well, too.

What is meant by "clamping force"? Like, how hard the headphones squeeze your head?
