I tried out the "audiophile" headphones by Grado on display at a neat little audio store near MIT[1].
While the sound quality was phenomenal, they were really loud outside the headphones, meaning I wouldn't be able to wear them at a quiet workspace. Does anyone know if other audiophile headphones have that issue?

- MBlume 15y agoThe term you're looking for is "open" vs. "closed" headphones. "Open" headphones are generally considered to have better sound quality for the price if you're listening in an empty quiet room, but they a) leak sound to the room b) let sound in from the room
- losvedir 15y agoAh, I see. Thanks very much!
