My budget would probably be within RM 300 to 500, if necessary. I'm looking for something that'll sound really good for music and gaming/movies as well. So far from my research on reviews and stuff the HD 485 and 595 seem to be good at both... But if the quality isn't such a big diff I may consider the wireless RS 130 or 140 as well.
Also, is the sound leak from open backed headphones really that bad? I know they're supposed to sound better if they're open-backed, but it won't sound like speakers or something to someone else in the room, right?
as for my personal experiences, i believe that HD485 is ur cup of teas due to its sound sigantures, u will have other choices, if u need something on movies and gaming, with addition to music, i strongly suggest that u can take the audio-technica A500, which i felt it right to be multimedia usages yet giving a very great sound on music. other than that, if u have slightly higher in budget, i will suggest u can take a beyer dynamic DT440 as it give a big soundstages, with proved to be good for gaming and movie as well

HD595 is more bias towards music, and the prices ranges is alot more higher than ur budget, as for the sound leakages, it will not like open one, it just lead some sounds, you are sharing room with others?
