I sticked with my M40x with ZMF's pad upgraded a few months and now want to try something new and higher tie.

M560 and HE400i is my choose in around 200$ (HE400i used - like new in Amazon), but I don't have a change to listen and compare those.

Any suggestion for those cans?

I've not heard either but I'd suggest checking out Zreviews on YouTube. He usually has solid opinions.

The M560s...Got them, burned them in...you definitely want a great source...great DAC...

I have not heard the Monoprice but II do like my HE400i quite a lot and $200 is a prettyxx good price for a pair in great condition.

Does it leak a lot? I consider M560 because it can become closed with magnetic wooden cups.

The wooden caps, to me, are just a gimmick...but at least gives you the option...
To me, can someone hear the music beside you...? If it's blasting yes...

The sound out is not as bad as the transparency of hearing things around you...so, good or bad, depending on situation...

Depends on what you mean "a lot".
What's your use-case scenario?

It certainly leaks more than any closed can. It's a fair amount of leakage.

I'm sharing a room with some roommate and i'm worried about annoying them at night. If daytime, then I think leakage is acceptable.

So I need a quiet environment to actuary enjoy open cans? The M560's cap makes it become closed when I need.

I'm trying to flip out my M40x with higher-than-normal volume, so sound can leak to outside. And leakage is not bad like I think. Does He400i or M560 has same amount?

 

[serman005]

Does it leak the same amount as an M40x, is that what you mean? No, it leaks more than an M40x does--sorry. But it does.

I mean make inside of closed cans outward so the sound can leak to outside like opened cans does.

Okay, I got ya.

The 400i would still be just a bit worse.

Then it is not that bad that I imagine. Cool!
