I've read conflicting opinions on this. I wanna know if I could wear 880s on the train without people wanting to hurt me.

It leaks a lot... you will get injured

. Also it blocks very little sound... why anyone would want to listen to this headphone on a train, I have no clue. Best listened to in a dead silent room, IMO.

It's just like an open headphone in this regard, imho. Don't know why anyone would want to hurt you though

. If anyone punched you upside the head chanses are the DT880 would hold up better than your skull though

Ditto.

They leak quite a lot, although it won't be much more than stock headphones (or cheapo streetstyle headphones) you get with CD players or whatnot.... which should be okay on a train. As for isolation, there is absolutely none.

I wouldn't even consider than more isolating than Grados. Hehe. Don't hurt yourself listening too loud.

Also, don't you want to appreciate the awesome details and dynamics of the DT880 in a silent room?

Yes I would like to enjoy them at home but want to be able to take them on the train too
