I don't personally see the need for an open back version of the Mobius. Closed back makes much more sense for it's intended use.
And why is that?

I guess it's hard for me to wrap my head around closed back, They feel so unnatural to me. Even out and about I use open, but more of a earbud than full size.
Are you careful that you aren't annoying people with your music? It is beyond annoying to have to listen to music leaking out of somebody's headphones on a bus for instance. I guess it depends on what you mean by out and about.I guess it's hard for me to wrap my head around closed back, They feel so unnatural to me.

Why would you use open when out and about? Every sound around you just leaks into the headphones ruining the experience.
I mean, I guess if you are looking for a "natural" experience and don't mind outside sound interfering with the music...this doesn't make sense to me personally though.
The only time an open headphone is good for me is in a quiet room at home.
Yes, I use wireless earbud style, so it is very minimal on the leaking.Are you careful that you aren't annoying people with your music? It is beyond annoying to have to listen to music leaking out of somebody's headphones on a bus for instance. I guess it depends on what you mean by out and about.
Agreed. While I love open back I would prefer these closed since my game playing is usually in a less than quite environment. I would also like to take these out and about.I want them closed like they are. Mainly because I’d like to use them when I’m out and about. One of the great powers of these headphones is that you can take that 7.1 surround sound with you on a train/car/airplane provided you bring your laptop of course.
Because closed backs for me, once I put them on I hear too much of myself, I don't know if it is blood flow or what, but it is overbearing on more silent instances of anything movies, games or whatever. And with open backs I don't have that, the more open the better. For open backs once the sounds gets going you don't hear much of the outside anyway, only on silent parts, which is fine. Unless where you live is incredibly noisy. As a side note to that, I also like to hear my surrounding and myself talk naturally, I can't seem to talk right when I hear myself muffled.

One thing I'm not clear about is how these will handle incoming surround audio from a source such as a PC or TV (via bluetooth). If they detect a surround signal will they decode it and play it back? What about Atmos/True-HD?
Thanks
