After quite a few reviews I had my heart set on the HD 595s, but then I discovered that everyone in the room would be able to hear my music, and I can't have that. So, I'm looking for a set of headphones that has a similar sound, is in the same price range ($200), and is closed. Thanks

Title pretty much says it all. I'm in the $200 price range but the reviews for the Shure SRH 440 look great. Would this be a good choice for someone looking for closed, comfortable, and good sound with modern rock, some rap/hip-hop, and gaming? If not what more expensive headphones would have...

I know alot of you are prefectionists, so you tend to make things sound worse than they are to me. I know they're open headphones, but just how extreme is the leaking? At the moment, this is the only think keeping me from buying these headphones. Thanks-James

So I have been researching headphones nonstop and it's starting to drive me insane because every time I find a pair I like, someone points out something like they leak alot, fall off easily, etc that turns me off of them. I need something that will stay on my head, not leak THAT much, sounds...

Right back to square one, I would REALLY prefer to not have to buy used headphones, I've had alot of bad experiences with buying used products. Any other suggestions like the HD580s that are still around?

Does anyone know of a legitimate site that is selling these? (would much prefer new or refurbished) The only one that I could find was amazon and it says "currently unavalible". I also found one or two that were selling them overpriced. Thanks-James

At this point I've been turned on then off of quite a few different pairs of headphones due to needing an amp (which puts me over my price range), them being too loose, not the right sound range, etc. I need something that will stay on my head while moving around a decent amount (not...

Ok, I'm aware that for someone often going on planes and public transportation this would most likely not be a good choice. That is not the question I asked however, can anyone help me with my actual question?
