I'm in the market for some good behind the neck wraparound phones. I looked at the Sennheiser PMX-60s and those would be absolutely perfect, except that they're open, which doesn't work for me, as I work in close proximity with others and like my music loud. Can anyone else throw some suggestions my way? I kinda like the look of the Sony MDR-G74SLs. Anyone heard anything good about those?

PMX-60s are crap.
It's lucky that you like the G74SL design, because they're the only good behind the head headphones. Koss KSC-55s are good too, but extremely uncomfortable for a lot of people.

Almost all behind-the-heads are open, though, including the G74SL. They're close-backed though, so they won't leak quite as much as the PMX-60s.

Actually, G74s aren't really closed back. There's a hole for it in the back that supplies the drivers air. Still as non-isolating as the next earbud or open air headphone, IME.
