Which one would be better for comfort, sound leaking and blocking out external sound in an office environment, and overall sound? I really want something that will put me in my own world for the office, and prefer not to use an amp with my iPod Touch.
 
Ordering off Amazon, HM5 ($130) or DT 770 250 ($168) 32 ($177).
 
Thanks!

What sound signature are you seeking?  The two cans you referenced are very different in that regard.

There are a number of headphones that all use the same drivers and cups as the HM5, and thus sound the same (one company makes them and they are rebranded for different sellers). One of them is the NVX Audio XPT100, which is $80 on Amazon. The difference between it and the HM5 are a flexible headband and an extra set of different ear pads.
