I know there are already a ton of threads on this, and I've spent the past hour or two trying to use them to help out my situation, but couldn't really find the best fit.
I'm looking to get a new set of phones, as up until now I've been reliant on speakers alone. I'm in college, and have a roommate, but so I'm looking for headphones that don't have too much sound leakage. So they don't necessarily need to be closed phones, just not too noisy {don't listen to music all that loud anyways}.
I'm not really looking to spend more than $150, and listen to pretty wide range of music styles, but primarily rock music. I would be using them with a Dell E1705 for the most part. At first I was thinking of the Senn 485 ($75) or Sony MDR-V6 ($85), but there seemed to be enough flaws with both to warrant spending more to increase quality. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
*Note: If the performance is really worth an additional $50 to make it a budget of $200, I guess I would be able to shell out the extra cash if it was really worth it.
