I wonder if guys here can help me out as to buying top-notched headphone in ROME ITALY, needless to say T1 is one. I really don't want those targeted for tourist(although I'm actually one visiting in coming Aug), those in the knows only for locals will often charge a lot less, thanks in advance.

Worn leather may look cottonly, most important is sound quality still intact, such big beast with scarce isolation should be kept and used indoor mooooost of the time, so I suggest you shouldn't mind the appearance if the price is a real bargain.

Sorry for being off topic quite a bit, just talking about it's more to me the "WORST" performing venues rather than the "WORST" headphone I've ever heard, since for headphone it's always personal thing, but being in those inferior sounding venues it is not always easy just to stand up and leave.

I don't think there is such "WORST" headphone in the market at least for all the established brand names that we are so familiar with, although I've once made semblance of the acoustic of the Royal Albert Hall to that of a 300 pounds headphone, and that of the Royal Opera House to a 30 pounds...

Quote:   Oh....it sounds that T1 leaks quite crazily, iirc T5p is the same or about the same price as T1, but sound not as good as T1, so I'd like to consider other closed cans instead. 

Could anyone help here, I'm a potential buyer of the T1, but wary about the condition of sound leakage disturbing the people around as I'm going to use it in my workplace with people sitting 2 to 3 meters away, how would you guys with relevant experiences suggest me? Thanks.
