Since its a semi-open headphone? Will sound leak from the headphones? I need to emphasise that it doesnt leak sound.

P.S: The HD438/448 has a more dynamic frequency range. Would that be better if i wanted to go for a full circumaural headphone?

It does leak minimal. 

"Dynamic frequency range" ... doesn't reflect the actual performance of the headphones.

How would the K99 perform compared to the two sennheiser models i posted earlier? Leakage and SQ wise.

yosh, srh840 can be driven by ur incredible s (44ohm) but not at it fully potential, as this is a monitoring headphone, hence to get fully use of it you have to get an amp to make it more colored/warmer and into ur desired sound preferences. but if u are on budget, it is ok for now to use ur phone with srh840, next after ada extra money, get an amp with a good interconnects, u will loving it more.

I see notworthy.gif Tenkiu for the feedback. I'll get the Flio E11 after a month or two.

Definitely value for money and only 3 reported deaths at the fans club. (But I never counted 3 out of what. tongue.gif)

If you're usually careful with your stuffs, then why not. But if you're within the normal where people sometimes accidentally pulled their IEM off their ears or player cuz the cable got stuck to something, or like me who put my laptop on my lap and sometimes 'kicked' the cable and off the jack goes from my laptop and so on, better beware. biggrin.gif

p/s: A secret to avoid dead IEM: Do not pull on the cord to remove it from the jack or the ear. That applies to other cable with jack etc stuffs too. biggrin.gif

Not just for IEM's..

Applies to full sized headphones too. My panasonic one died after 5 months of abuse cry.gif
