My past experience with headphones is pretty limited. I used to have a pair of Bose around ear headphones that I thought were pretty good (got them as a gift). I'm currently using a Sony MDR-V600 which is also a closed headphone but the sound seems rather dull and there is a lot more leakage compared to the Bose.
Since I haven't had much experience with headphones I don't really have that much of a preference as far as open vs closed headphones goes. I'm leaning more towards a closed headphone to help lessen the outside noise though.
I will be using these headphones for everything;
50% Gaming
40% Music
10% Movies
Note: I am not a bass fanatic but I don't want a pair of dull sounding headphones.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: After further researching my options I'm a bit overwhelmed so I'm going to post a list of all the headphones I'm considering and start slimming the list down one by one.
