Which is better for me? Which are more comfortable, sound better, more portable, leak least sound, etc.
I typically listen to electronic music, but I still listen to basically all types of music, just some more than others.

More comfortable? The Denons for sure.
More Portable? The B&Ws.
I saw some P5s in bestbuy the other day and I can't say I was impressed at all.
Looking online I see they are near $300 dollars for the P5s... If you are willing to pay $300 I'd forget the AH-D1100 and get some AH-D2000s instead. They beat the P5s in everything but portability.

Well, I was looking at the used price on Amazon for the P5's. $235 plus shipping. I think I'm convinced to get the Denon's now. The only further question I have is about the sound leakage, for wearing these in public.
If you want to take these out in public I wouldn't buy the denons. They are best at home or at most in the car or something. They are bulky and unwieldy.
But anyways that aside, both denons are closed-back headphones.... So the sound leakage shouldn't be much of a problem unless you crank the music up high. I do hear they are pretty noisy for closed-back headphones. Again, I wouldn't recommend them for outside use... But if you want them for home then you can't go wrong.
If you want some good headphones on the go without any leakage I'd say get the Sennheiser HD 25-1 IIs. I see them going for $180 new.
They are wellbuilt, don't leak, and sound amazing.
