Hm, I might think this is the opposite case, if you're talking about classical music--though obviously there's an enormous difference between different classical music in terms of style, form, instrumentation, etc. Most classical music recordings actually have reasonable dynamic range, so peaks 20-30 dB or more above the average may be common. If you are listening at reasonable levels such that you can hear the average parts fine, I'd expect that not to leak much. But at those same levels, I'd expect the loud parts to leak noticeably to people nearby in the same room.

Different headphones are different. I think it's much more likely that you just prefer the HD650's sound over the HD800's. You wouldn't be the only one, that's for sure. | ||

Owned: ATH-A900s, Technics RPDh1200s DJ headphones, Z buds, Apple IEMs. If you can get the 240M version, not the Studios, they have a much more natural sound. ![[image loading]](http://cdn.mos.musicradar.com/images/Tutorial%20images/Tech/headphones-roundup/sennheiser-hd25ii-530-85.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://www.pacificvalve.us/images/Audio_gd_Compass-1.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://www.itime.cn/Article/pic/200608/20060817154557728.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://www.studio-22.com/audio-technica/images/ATH-A900.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://www.futuremusic.com/news/images/RP-DH1200.jpg) | ||

I'd go with the ATH-M50s. You won't be dissapointed. Shure SRH840 are also another well regarded headphone around that range (150 i think). But yeah, ATH-M50's are extremely well regarded. | ||

@affla: I dont know how flexible your budget is but i really like my klipsch s4 (esp the bass) at $80. You could also look into the sennheiser earbuds for less money, i believe they have an extended bass model. | ||

If you don't mind or prefer open (non-isolating), ATH-AD700 is another popular model. It should be better for acoustic music, some other music, as well as positional audio for gaming. If you want bass thump, look elsewhere, like the ATH-M50.

things to consider: - I'm not an audiophile - I'm just gonna plug it into my computer and listen to mp3s (tired of using crappy skullcandy earbuds) - would mainly like to know if it's a good deal | ||

I think a JVC HA-RX700 for around $40 is a better deal, though I haven't heard the HD 515 personally. Nobody seems to know or care about it, possibly for good reason. Maybe others will have different opinions. | ||

Did you try this? http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=jvc ha-rx700&hl=en&cid=6773329349542391152&os=sellers#scoring=tp Well the Sennheisher HD 515 has replaceable parts according to Sennheiser's website. I would prefer to buy off Amazon mainly because I have a lot of gift card credit on there lol. Anyways I still may go for the 515. Open headphones shouldn't be too much of a problem for me. Thanks however | ||
