Quote: Originally Posted by hans030390 Um...have you heard both of these? My RX700 and RX900s both barely leak any noise at all, unless the volume is really loud. Awesome! I already started to get a little concerned. BTW, I found a lot of posts comparing RX700 and RX900 and...

Thanks again 1Time. I ended up ordering JVC HA-RX900 thru amazon. Looks like they are not fully closed, but hopefully they don't leak too much. Considering the price ($56 shipped) they look like a good deal. BTW the amazon estimates to ship the headphones in two weeks (probably a...

I am thinking about purchasing a pair of closed headphones (that preferably don't leak any sound at all) to use at the office. I mostly listen to instrumental music with lots of vocals and jazz. Do you have any recommendations? I am not too picky about the sound quality. I have Audio...

Actually I was looking for the same things you did. At first I thought about buying a pair of bose triports, but quickly changed my mind after sampling them at the bose store. I ended up buying Audio Technica ATH-A700. I have very little experience in high-end audio, but these headphones sound...

I have recently purchased Audio-Technica ATH-A700 (thanks to the posters of this forum) and I am using them with my laptop. Unfortunately, the build in sound card is not up for the challenge. So I am thinking about getting Creative Sound blaster x-fi external usb audio card. What do you guys...

Thanks for your comments. I ended up buying them.

I have been looking for a closed headphones for a while now. I almost bought a pair of bose triports. I heard that there are better phones in the same price range, but I figured they will be good enough for me. However, when I sampled them at a local bose store I almost had a heart attack. Both...
