Recently lost my Sennheiser momentums, which has me bummed.
Trying to look for headphones that do not block out sound. I'll be using them in a work place environment where I'll want to know if someone sitting next to me wants to tell me something, or get my attention while I am listening to music at medium volume (this will happen a lot). Or if I'm walking through the city at night I can hear the ambient noises around me and enjoy an "outside" feeling where the music breathes through the air, as opposed to trapping the music and separating me from the reality. I'm looking for headphones that would probably be a poor choice on an airplane. Are there a specific type of headphone that fits these criteria?
I think I heard the grado brand has a few headphones that are more open to the outside noise? But I'm new here and don't know much. Not looking to spend more than 300$, but let me know what's out there in case one day I do. Ideally 100-200$.
Thanks and much appreciated
