I'm one of those lucky people who is able to listen to music while in the office. I use a pair of Grado SR80 at home and have a pair of Sennheiser MX500 buds for on-the-go. I also use a Supermini amp.
Criteria are that sound leakage to the rest of the room should be kept to a minimum but I'd rather not sacrifice my listening pleasure if this is the choice
This is sort of related to the "Headphones for Electronic music Dj/Production" thread posted elsewhere in that I do listen to a lot of electronica. It's mixed between ambient stuff like Future Sound of London and hard trance (Hardfloor etc.). I also like stuff such as Yo La Tengo and Bjork, even some guitar-indie like The Wedding Present. So quite a range really. However, I'd say that electronica was the majority of my listening.
The music source at work will be iPod (15GB) through a Supermini amp.
Recommendations would be appreciated up to around 150UK pounds ($200 ish). I have, however, seen a pair of Senn 600s for around this price, which I am tempted by, but I gather they are an open design which will annoy my work colleagues?
