Zathan, how did you find the MDR-XD200?

It is just that an "audiophile" means a connoisseur to me and to me connoisseurs are seeking something more demanding that pop mp3 files. Just like automobile connoisseurs are more keen on Rolls-Royce or Ferrari than Toyota Yaris. |

The sound leakage was similar to the SRH440, in that there was barely any. However, the sound quality diminished tremendously. Sound south of ~300 Hz was gone (which is where I like my sound). Of course, this was probably due to the bandages being particularly absorbent and not reflective of sound, so I'll have to find something else to use... |
