    Sennheiser ***OPEN*** Back Headphones

    Hey there guys.

    I was hoping someone could help me out. I'm looking to get a set of Sennheiser HD595's to replace my totally crapped out ancient cans. I plan to hook them up to my PC (audigy 2 soundcard) to use mainly at night so as not to disturb family members (my mum!) at night.

    I basically use my PC for listening to music (LOUD) and gaming (whilst listening to music LOUD )

    >>> but this open back design concerns me... more specifically the whole issue of leaked sound


    As i gather, open back design headphones allow for a 'better sounding' sound, but also as a result of being open, leak sound.

    >>> if i use the HD595's to blast my music late at night, will the leaked sound be loud enough to disturb my parents in the next room?


    Perhaps anyone who owns a set of HD595's could let me know how loud the leaked sound is.

    Thanks in advance for your help people - appreciated!
