Hi there,
 
Looking for office headphones that are isolated and closed. Currently I'm using the Denon D7000 and they are great but their sound is 'leaking' and it feels like they are 'open' headphones although they marked as 'closed'.
 
Any idea is appreciated !

First off:  do you have a quality source (DAP or DAC/Amp)
if not, you may want to look into that and possibly spend part of your budget on that.
otherwise, let's talk about headphones.
 
My research of headphones mostly consists of open-back headphones but I do find some high quality closed-back ones here and there.
My apologies if the list consists of headphones above or below your price range, I'm assuming you don't want to spend exactly $1,000

(I listed the most expensive over-ear in the link but in the list on the left you can find less expensive options under the Sonorous category)

I haven't tried any of these headphones so I can't vouch for them nor am I affiliated with them, just listing some high-end closed-back headphones.
 
Hope this could help,
Nemo
