Hi, I owned an AD700 and it's still doing well after 3 years. I've being thinking of getting it to work since my earphone at office is beyond rescue. But I notice that my headphone is "loud" enough that others can hear what I'm listening to feets away.

So i've being thinking of buying a new full cup headphone, comfortable, minimum noise leak (I don't know if this is what you call it), and the budget is below RM300 if possible.
I'm not an audiophile, just want some comfortable headphone to listen to some music/video throughout the workday.

Thanks in advance.

OK, I'll try to rephrase.

Was trying to find a headphone with:
- RM 300 as budget.
- A circumaural type headphone
- minimal noise leak, as in working environment friendly
- For movie+music+gaming if possible
- Prefer wired
- mostly using winamp
- does not use any amps
- mostly will be using laptop's build-in sound card or desktop asus xonar hdav 1.3 sound card
- prefer no leather


Thanks in advance.

Well, AD700 is an open air headphone, meaning the back of the headphone lets air in for for more natural sounds. (not sure if this is the right way to explain though, hahah) and open air headphones are like mini speakers. then send as much sound outside, as they let you hear.

currently i'm using ATH PRO5MK2 and the noise leakage is very low. sure in a quiet room, on full volume when i wear it, others can hear a bit. but on 60~80% volume almost no sound is leaked. since i haven't tested out a lot of products, i'll only say that what i have (for 310rm) is worth the money.

but since you didn't follow the format, it's a bit difficult for people to tell you a headphone better suited for you.

edit: you might want to check out ATH M30 and M35.
