How well do the Audio-Technica A500/A700s isolate you from outside sounds? Can you still hear a phone ringing? A baby monitor located in another room? Someone knocking at the door? Wife asking you a silly question about how many beers did you drink? Cat scratching furniture?
Sorry if the question seems dumb. I need to be able to hear my environment just a bit, but not as well as open headphones allow. The comments on the AD500/AD700s seem to make it less of a performer than the closed series. I will mainly be using these for FPS gaming. Considering the Sennheiser HD555s as an alternative choice.
Thanks in advance.
