I have Creative Aurvana Live now, but they start to wear out a bit and I decided to try something different and more comfortable. For general usage like gaming, videos/movies, sometimes music.

So I am thinking about Custom Studio since it's supposed to be better than DT 770 + detachable cable etc. But I found some posts saying that it has more holes and leaks more than DT 770.
e.g.

However I also saw complaints about leakage and lack of isolation on CAL. The latter may be true, but I don't see much leakage with CAL, people have never complained to me about that and I tested with my webcam mic (which picks everything including clock ticks and people talking in another room) and phone mic (just in case), and something was audible only when it was too loud for me to listen.

So the question is do they really leak much and is there noticeable difference in leakage/isolation between DT 770 80 ohm and Custom Studio, as well as between them and CAL if anyone tested them?
