Sorry that I've created so many nearly redundant posts in the last few days. Call me anal, I guess. Long story short: need portable headphones. Will be used at work in a university library, so must be closed/leak very little. Also used on CTA (buses and trains), walking around, and potentially running/working out.
Options
1. AKG K81DJ--The new frontrunner, as the size looks acceptable, the cord length can be managed, and they are closed.
2. Senn PX100--A coworker has one actually, so I might get to try it if hes generous. Worried about leak mostly. This could also be a Portapro with the same caveats.
3. UE Super.Fi 3--Never liked in-ears, worried about microphonics, and would like to hear some of whats going on around me. Also more expensive than the others, and I'm on a pretty tight budget.
Mostly I'm looking for comparisons of the sound between the three listed cans, and also some practicallity info on the Senns leaking and size of the AKG. Many, many thanks.
