Hmm these are unpractical for they are hideous jecklinsmile.gif

 

They might sound good, but I would rather put a trashcan on my head. I would never ever take these outside.

I sit with 6-9 people around a table and no one has yet complained about sound leakage. I had the same response in the earlier cubicle too. But to listen to music at high volumes, I had to get into a conference room or play music when no one is around.

 

This is the reason why I carry my ER-4 along with Denon's to office. Why compromise on quality of music for isolation.

That's why this thread is called the "greatest closed headphone" thread, and not "The best sounding headphone thread".

 

I am in search for the best sounding headphone, that can be used without bothering people in a silent room. Or for professional use, like in studio or rehearsal room. 

 

With the gmp 8.35D I don't feel like I'm compromising in sound quality for it's price. Not sure if there is an open headphone for 160 euros that sounds much better. Hell I don't think the HD650 sounds much better, just more airy.

But why are these hd250 Linear II never mentioned? Is it because they are new to the market? And are they really linear sounding? 

 

No I think the hd600 is more linear sounding but most closed headphones are heavily coloured anyway.

They are discontinued as well so not that common but again they are underrated and can be compared against today's most closed headphones costing 2-3x more and certainly better than the hd25.

 

But they are mainly for home since since they are a bit bulky for portable use and not that easy to drive either (lower sensitivity than hd600).

Lower sensitivity than the HD600, that seems fairly unpractical i'd say.... They don't seem too bulky though!

I've added the logitech ue 6000 & 9000 to the list. According to innerfidelity these have an excellent sound quality, excellent as in better than the akg k550! That is without the noise canceling on, with it, it has a bit of a bass boost. Which is something I really need on the bus, or other loud places.

 

The UE 9000 comes with a bluetooth function, and when listened to wireless, it sounds pretty much the same as when listened to wired.

The UE 9000 & 6000 are said to have the same SQ, so the extra 100-150$ is just for the bleutooth function.
