The R-10's, while seeming closed aesthetically, are actually very open. Sony did this on purpose to allow sound to escape to stop waves from cancelling out each other.
If the OP feels that some of the headphones here are too big, then s/he will never truly get a closed headphone. Circumaurul is the only approach to isolation in a closed headphone, unless you go with fake noise cancelling. Although, I was surprised to see how much sound the little Beyer T50P's isolated the listener from the outside world., but they sit on your ear and allow the world to enter your musical experience.
