The main concern I have is sound leakage with open headphones, how much of a problem would this be since I will be living in a dorm room with a roommate? Three models I am considering are: Shure SRH440 (closed), Sennheiser HD280 PRO (closed), and Sennheiser HD555 (open). I notice a lot of people on this forum recommend the HD555, but would these be better than the other options I listed? Do they sound better from being open rather than closed?
Also if it helps, the things I will use headphones for are: TV, movies, video games (xbox), music (mostly metal) from ipod. I plan to get the fiio E5 amp as well unless someone has a better idea.
