I don't agree either. It really depend on how do you use your headphone outside. If you are a frequent traveller and have frequent meetings, of course BT ANC headphones would work better. However, I use headphones outside most for commute and walk around at the park. It is not loud enough like on a flight. Passive seal is more than enough. Sound is my priority as well, therefore a wired closed back works the best. There is just not enough options for wired passive closed backs on the street because technology is getting better. IEMs are so small, seal well, sound so good that they almost eat the whole wired portable headphone market. Passive closed headphones are focusing more on sound quality on hi end market so that size is not a huge concern. But again in a hi end market, people tend to listen to their headphones at home. Open backs are growing popular because they sound even better. Which squeeze the closed back market even more.
