I can't remember for certain... but I thought I have seen posts where folks comment on some open headphones that for some reason don't seem to leak sound out as much as others. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I am looking for some open headphones to add to my closed headphones at work, in an open environment, and I want to still be able to hear conversations around me to some degree, and when listening at low volumes, know that very little sound is making its way to my co-workers. I will still normally go to my closed headphones at work, but I want the option for open, and want to know if there are some better candidates in that category compared to their peers. Any thoughts?
I will be driving them with a MacBook > Dragonfly and considering anything that retails between $100 and $500. My current favorites at home are HD600, HD700, H6, and Spirit Pro. Do not care about style or brand or long term value or maintenance (replaceable pads, cables, etc...), just want good sound with minimal fuss, but preferably "really good" sound with minimal fuss.
