I've been looking at headphones for weeks. Upgrading from Sennheiser HD-202s. Here are my parameters:
So far I've been looking at the Samson SR850s but my primary concern is the leakage. I've never owned open headphones, so I'm not sure what to expect. Will she be able to hear me from the other room?
Also have looked at the JVC HA-RX700s which I hear have great isolation.
Would love to buy something today, so your recommendations are much appreciated.
- Budget around $50 (willing to go a bit higher if it's worth it)
- Will be used primarily for gaming
- Recently got the Ear Force DSS 7.1 Channel Dolby Surround Sound Processor (http://www.amazon.com/Force-Channel-Dolby-Surround-Processor-Mac/dp/B003O0KICS), so I am hoping to find a pair of headphones to maximize this.
- I usually play while my girlfriend is sleeping, so I do not want anything that leaks so bad that she will here from the other room.
- Would love if I were able to buy from Amazon (have a gift card there), but this is NOT a must.
