Unfortunately, it appears to be his chosen lifestyle.
But anyway I am impressed that he transformed himself into a R10 vs K1000 expert, only a few days ago he apparently believed that HD650, HD600, DT990 (DT880 is unfortunately out) and K701 are the best headphones on earth.
Closed headphones necessarily reduce sound from outside of them. Regardless of amount of isolation, there is a physical barrier that can and does deflect external and internal sound.
Open headphones necessarily allow most outside sound through open spaces in them or around them, unaltered or nearly so.
There is physically no way around the above two points, comparing a fully open headphone to a fully closed headphone. Closed headphones are likely to cause your ears to get warm, where open are likely not to.

This is due to the fact that the Driver is not moving in both directions because it is held at one side to reduce resonance.
Fail. The driver must move in both directions, and be able to move as much in one direction as the other, to produce a given frequency of sound at a given amplitude.
My limited opinion? I trust engineers to do what they can to make something good for the price, and use the best design for the sound they are going for, within their various design limits. Each headphone you listen to, from conception to your head, is the result of more compromises than I think any of us want to comprehend. Headphones are no different than any other piece of technology.

I haven't heard the W5000, but if the W1000 I heard is any indication, among the two I'd pick the HD650. But that doesn't mean W5000 is objectively worse. I'm afraid only your ears are able to answer your question.

I just wish you guys would quit using that popcorn eating emoticon. You're making me hungry.
