Recomend Headphones

[danIT]

Looking for some decent headphones, currently using a pair of ipod headphones to listen to music on my laptop. People in the office keep telling me to "Turn it down" because they can hear what Im listening to.

 

So i'd quite like some 'over ear' headphones rather than 'in-ear', but dont want to look like someone who's saying look at my nice new huge earphones.

 

So small form factor would be cool...Any recommendations?

You could go for the "in-ear" type. I have just bought myself some of the Full Metal Jacket ones as seen on this site. They are not particularly cheap however.

I forgot to say I purchased them from

I just searched on ebay for neck band head phones ( much more comfortable ) and not huge either

 

something similar to these sony ones

These are very comfortable

I got a pair of Sennheiser HD280 Pro headphones which are great but a bit pricey! I found a brand new pair on eBay for a fraction of the RRP. I love em...

As per attached image they leak a lot of audio / sound which was what the asker did not want.

 

I am not sure if the sony ones were any better - that was just a general comment on what I use

The Bose look like the type im after although a bit pricey.

Bit bass'y and a massive cord - Too long!

 

Happy for price tag.

The HP25SP have very good sound isolation but these come pretty close at less than half the cost. Smaller too:
