    Which 'Closed' Cans produce the least amount of sound in the $100-$250 range?

    Just got my DT770/250's in the mail today! Right off the bat, i was a bit dissapointed. I hooked them up to my PC Tower just for kicks and listened to some music and did comparisons between it and the Sennheiser HD595's. Now, the DT770's sound stage was flat, eveything felt subduedand there...

    Which 'Closed' Cans produce the least amount of sound in the $100-$250 range?

    Thanks for all of the help you guys! I ended up pulling the trigger and getting the DT770/'250' Brand new off eBay. The majority of sellers had it close to $300 + shipping but i managed to get it for $225. The seller is legit, at least based on his overall near perfect seller score and amount...

    Which 'Closed' Cans produce the least amount of sound in the $100-$250 range?

    Quote: Again, thanks for the info. ;) How do the DT770 '250hm's stack up against the SRH940's? It's really just the $80 difference that's making me lean towards the DT770 250hm's. But in the long run i might regret not spending the extra cash and going for more a quality set of cans like...

    Which 'Closed' Cans produce the least amount of sound in the $100-$250 range?

    I can get the DT770/'80ohms' for $150, or there's the 250hz version going for $220 including shipping. Still confused on the mixed reviews about the sound leaking, some state that it's incredibly minimal while others are saying the complete opposite.... If i had to, i'd opt for the K550's but...

    Which 'Closed' Cans produce the least amount of sound in the $100-$250 range?

    I've read mixed opinions on the DT770's in regards to the sound leakage. In terms of sound how would you rank the 3 you mentioned? I was set on getting the DT770's but a few reviews noted that they do in fact leak a quite bit of sound to the point where you can hear in the next room.

    As of now, I own a pair of Sennheiser HD595's which i absolutely Adore. The sound that they produce is absolutely amazing. BUT i no longer have the desire to use them for gaming(Total NintenFreak here hehe) because of the ridiculous amount of sound leakage which isn't exactly ideal considering...

    Open-Back Mod for Denon D2000/5000/7000 - FR Measurements Available! - Updated 11-1-2011

    How do the D2000's 'closed' compare to the HD598's in general? Or even the HD555's for that matter? Anyways, wicked mod! But making the D2000's open defeats the purpose of having next to no sound leakage, well it would for me anyways. :p   But yup, I need a pair of closed headphones that...

    Sennheiser HD555 vs HD595?

    Do the 595's crackle 'bass-wise' when you're rocking at high volumes through your amp? That's one of the problems I've always had with my HD555's for certain movies, Bluray especially! Also wouldn't modding the 555's by taking out the foam make the cans leak even more sound from the outisde?
