i bought these headphones instead of the AKG K 240 MkII. Sennheiser HD 380 pro is the perfect pair for commuting, believe me, THEY DONT LEAK AT ALL! I have listened to them at SPL - 110 dB and noone except me could hear anything at all. Of course when they not on your head they leak. The sound quality is not the best, imho the bass is very good, but the mids and highs dont shine as much as the bass.
Oh yes, this is a wonderful headphone. I was really surprised by the quality of these phones. They truly walk all over the goldring ns-1000 I also have.
They are pretty source sensitive, but not unforgiving. So while it will sound ok with an ipod, it really shines with a good front end.

Weight, build and comfort are all great.
Highly recomended.
