If detail is hearing every instrument and the layers they build, thats what I want. I had a good experience with AKG K240's but they are open and I need no leakage. I have IEM's and I'm not in love with them for anything but playing drums. $200 would be a fair budget. Right now the Denon D1001k's are appealing becuz of price and really good reviews here. I want an open sound in a closed can with great detail, bass impact, and balance across the frequency spectrum. Any suggestions?

denons dont have a lot of isolation.. I don't know for other suggestions though. Maybe an A700?

No isolation but they don't leak at normal volumes.

Isolation isn't terribly important. Leakage is. I listen at a reasonable level so that definitely helps me lean toward the denons
