Finally....reasonably priced headphones in Australia seem so damn rare I tried the HP890 and the HP550 at the store on some crappy Sony CDP. The HP890 are very light and damn comfortable to wear. And yea the sound leaked much more with the 890 than the 550, even though it surrounded the...

oh boo....it looked like it cups around the ear though?? maybe HP550 would be a better choice for me then? I saw them for AUD$68 (US$34) Buddha - Brisbane City Myer centre, a new Retravision which just opened up. (i'll check the prices again just to make sure) Also, Lini said the...

Wow, I'm pretty sure just saw these headphones in Australia for AUD$125 (about US$62). Wondering, how well do they isolate? In a library for example, do they leak a lot of sound out? I don't mind hearing ouside noise while listening to headphones, but I don't want to get people annoyed...
