closed headphones for under $100
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...- PPP

closed headphones for under $100
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...- PPP

Closed, easily-driven headphones? (cheap & comfortable)
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...- PPP

What do you think about Audio Technica ATH-A700?
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...- PPP
