I have just got myself a Fiio E5 and an ipod touch and wanted some headphones to go with them. I was originally looking at the Denon ah-d1001 until I found out the Creatives are the same headphones but rebranded.
 
I have managed to pick up a pair of Sennheiser HD515 for £35 and can get the Creatives for £52. I quite like the Sennheisers but wouldnt mind a little more bass and if the sound didnt leak as much. Would the Creatives be a better choice?
 
I am new to this forum and would appreciate any and all advice.

Also been considering the Sony MDR-XB500 but not sure how these are in terms of size and fitting as I have a rather large head!

The Cal! have a nice bass response, but the XB series from sony have crazy bass...i have heard that they improve with eq tweaks.  (i wouldnt use them on da streets, they are huge)
I can's comment on the HD515's.

So I was stuck between the Creative Aurvana Live, the Sennheiser HD515 and the Sony MDR-BX500 but I have read that the xb-500 don't benefit from the Fiio E5 which means that would not be used and I have only just bought the E5.

A friend of mine has the Goldring NC1000 and I can get these for £55 but again I'm not sure how the bass response and leakage is. Any ideas?
