Long story short, I just got a RME ADI-2 DAC.
And I love it.
I have 2 young kids, and I like listening to my music pretty loud. That being said, I want my kids to sleep! (more than me having a good time listening to my tunes)
The 800s's are like open speakers.
I don't want to get rid of them, I would like an alternative in closed back.
I also own E-mu Teaks and they are getting a lot of listening time these days. (love em)
I love instrumental, rock, alternative
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Sony Z1R...anyways, there is no comparison from closed back to open back

 

[JamesCanada]

I understand, i'm not trying to compare, simply get an Idea of what is out there on the market as a good pair of closed back

I would look into the ZMF Blackwoods. They are very clear with decent punch in the sub-bass regions. Decently wide sound-stage as well. My only gripe about them is their weight. It's hard to find a headphone as comfortable as the Sennheiser series!

Yeah, just buy the closed 800S, the Sennheiser HD820.

So, I imagine everyone pushing for the 820's actually tried or own a pair?
I was looking into the LCD -XC any comments about them?

Not in my case but if you're saying you like your HD800S but need closed back...

You should check out Mr speakers ether flow c too. They are super comfortable and sound excellent.

And I do understand the logic, but in Canada, they are 3500$... I paid less than half for my 800s's... I'm not willing to fork out that type of $. I should have specified that in my intro text, my bad!

Other than noise cancelling, your only choice for true non leakage is an iem

 

[WildStyle-R11]

Just have your kids adapt to sleeping with music on some speakers... That way they won't hear or care about your headphone, unless you play them at ridiculous volumes.

Maybe try the Focal Clear or Clear Pro.

 

[PointyFox]

HD820 or MDR-Z1R.

The Clear aren't closed, are they?
