Closed ~$200 Cans

post #1 of 6

Thread Starter 
Need some advice on some closed headphones for around ~$200. Going to listen to them mostly with an amp at home, but also probably in the library and on planes so I don't really want something that leaks. I listen to mostly punk/dubstep/electronic music. Thanks!

Audio Technica A700's fall into that budget, among others.

That was a headphone I was thinking about before posting this, makes me feel better about that choice. Do you know if it bleeds a lot since its an on-ear set?

It's half on ear half over but yeah it's kinda on year. But not really. The clamping force makes it not leak as much. It isn't the most comfortable headphone but for the price works very well for dub and trance and bassy genres.
