I really love my Sennheiser 555's but the wife complains she can hear my music so i want a closed set with zero sound leakage with a similar sound to my 555's. I listen to mostly rock/metal/acoustic so Bass is not that important. I like a clean crisp sound.

Senn 280pro?
ATH A700?
Beyer 770t?

Something in the $150 range works for me

Thanks guys

Have you considered IEMs for minimal sound leakage?

I tried some cheapo IEMs to try out how I liked jamming the rubber in my ear and they sounded ok but were not very comfortable so I prefer sticking with a full size headphone. Looks are not important to me.

If I were going to get a closed phone, it would be the AKG K271 hands down. And if you get velour pads, they're even better. They've got a gorgeous midrange, and don't have boomy bass, which is more than most closed phones can boast. moreover, they are fairly well balanced- nothing sticks out at you- which is more than most phones in general can say...

in that price not many Closed headphones can give u same soundstage of HD555

How about D1001? someone had recommended them to me as an alternative to HD555

Yes the Denon 1000 is also on my list. I may just give those a chance. So many choices out there and I don't want to be dissapointed with a poor choice only to find out that my Senn 555's are still better. I am relying on all of the tips from knowledgable forum members since i cannot listen before i buy.
Thanks guys!
