Hmm. I think I'm more interested in a full sized closed headphone like an Audio Technnica. In general, how are these regarded in sound using the Grado RS1 or Sennheiser HD600/650 as a baseline. Using that same baseline, are there any other full sized closed cans that rate similarly to the...

So, I was all set to pull the trigger on a pair of Grado RS2 for a bedside system and then it hit me - I think that lots of sound leaks out of these. Right? Same with Senn HD600/650.

Senn20; I'm sorry, I just disagree. I think a good live recording CAN capture the performance AND good speakers can represent it. Your second point is duly noted.
