I work in an office, but I want to listen to music, without disturbing people. I also need to be able to know when someone is knocking at the door. So far the only method I found is using cheap Sony MDR earbuds/earphones which came with my mp3 player (or was it cassette walkman). I tried my Sony IEM's, it blocks out everything completely. Tried my Philips HP890 closed headphones too, can't hear any ambient noise. With the sony earbuds, I open music quite soft, and can still participate in a meeting without people around me listening to my music.
I think open headphones are the way to go, though I am not sure. I'm guessing that the headphones need to leak a lot of noise. I do not want to use speakers as then everyone could listen to my music. Also, it disturbs the neighbouring workers (especially during office hours). The sony's are ok, though sound nowhere spectacular. Also, I can't wear it for more than 2 hours without being fatigue.
Any ideas?
