Perhaps you might prefer used Sennheiser HD555 or HD595 which will certainly be cheaper. These headphonex are open type over ear headphones. Over ear means the earpads rest on your head and not on your ear itself. Over ear except for a few exceptions are the highest sound quality. Open headphones have earcups covered by a grille which allows air from outside into the earcup and driver. Therefore these type of headphones are not sealed. They are not particularly good for outside use as all the outside noise interferes with your listening. Other people will also hear your music if you turn the volume up. Open type headphones tend to give greater sound qualiity and most of the premium headphones are of this type. Closed headphones have solid plastic earcups and isolate the listener from external sounds. The potential for the bass to be more present is a possibility although there are neutral closed headphones. These are better for use outside because of their isolation and you can also listen at lower volumes due to this. Unfortunately sound quality tends to be not quite as good as open types and most (but not all) high-end headphons tend not to be closed type.
