Newbie looking for closed headphone to use with a Windows Phone.

I'm no audiophile, music varies from Pixies, Elliott Smith to Kanye West. I've got a pair of Koss Porta Pro which I like, but the leak is massive. So something with similar sound, and minimal leak would be nice. Warm, mellow and bassy.

I've found a couple of deals on Amazon, but is not restricted to these.
Blaupunkt 112 - not much can be found on these on the net. So I have to rely on user reviews on Amazon which are generally positive. Seems like warm / neutral, but reported to leak. sound reduction, don't know if I need it. A bit worried about the leak to be significant. How is the bass? Have anyone experience with these here?

Akg K450: Neater and more portable, warm / neutral sound. Leak is apparently not a problem. Bassy. Have anyone compared them to KPP?

other suggestions are welcome.

I haven't had much luck with this thread, but I've gotten advice in another thread and have ordered JVC HA-S500. According to forum reports I got much fun to look forward to.

I do like my JVC HA-S500-Z (Gunmetal Gray) folding headphones.
