Question Closed headphones - suggestions???

Hello,

I'm after getting hold of a set of closed back headphones just for out and about with the MP3 player. I want as little sound leakage as possible too.

They have to be behind the neck jobbies, I'm eyeing up the Sennheiser PMX200s, anyone know what they sound like? Other than that, any suggestions?

I've been impressed with Ultrasone headphones, try asking the same question on the Head-Fi forum and you'll get plenty of recommendations

Then get back to this forum and let us know what you decided on and what you think of them !

It seems that the Sennheisers are my best option (judging by the response from Head-Fi). When I've got them I'll report back and let you know what they're like...
