There are many advantages to having closed headphones. Even tough many of the TH-900 owners use their sets at home, that doesn't mean there isn't noise at home. Many users have roommates, wives, kids, dogs/cats, etc. that create noise and aren't appreciative of sound leakage, especially if one tends to listen in a room where there are others. Sonically, closed headphones can have stronger bass. That is why many headphone companies design a "fun" sounding headphone opt to design a closed headphone. Also, regarding IEMs, many users don't like things inside their ear, thus CIEMS/IEMS being out of the question.
