Hi guys and girls in the headphone world, I need some help to decide between the DT 235 and the DT 300p.
I'm going to use this at my job and it's a bit noisy environment. gonna use a Fiio E11 and 1st Gen.iPod Touch, music style: mostly rock and electronica. So whitch one is the best and do they block out any sound? I hope someone will help me, thanks in advance

I have DT231 Beyerdynamics and they're similarily built as the 235. They leak sound in and out. You can rule them out. I have not tried 300p.

Thanx for fast answer. maybe stupid to ask this but when you use your DT231 with moderate volume can you hear a car drive past you?

I haven't used those in few years and when I did I used them indoors. Moderate volume is rather trivial subject and so are car sounds. All I can say is I probably would hear traffic sounds at least some. My listening volumes are more in the quiet department than in the loud.

[size=x-small]H i I sent a mail to Beyerdynamic regarding the ambient noise attenuation of DT 235 and DTX 300 p, and here is the answer I got[/size]
 
"The ambient noise attenuation of DT 235 and DTX 300 p is approx. 14 dB under the condition of proper sealing to the ear. However, due to the smaller earcup size, DTX 300 p is more critical to position on the ear than DT 235."
 
 Thanks a lot to GUNTER WEIDEMANN from Beyerdynamic for providing the answer
