Portable Audio Dependency

For those of you out there in TV land dependent on portable audio & quality headphones as much as I am, take a look at these:

Sennheiser PMX 60 Stereo Neckband Headphones

According to the Sennheiser Website's General Description:

The open, dynamic PMX 60 neckband headphones are the ideal choice for all portable audio sources. Their balanced sound image easily outdoes other mini headphones.

The overall sound quality & output (good lord, I'm deaf) are outstanding, especially when doing anything physical where earbuds just will not do.

If you are interested in acquiring a pair of these babies, but require more detail, here is the technical information:

Nominal impedance - 32 Ohm;
Cable length - 1.0 m;
Ear coupling - supraaural;
Transducer principle - dynamic, open;
Jack plug - 3,5 mm stereo;
Weight w/o cable - ca. 55 g;
Frequency response (headphones) - 18.....21000 Hz;
Sound pressure level (SPL) - 122 dB (SPL); THD, total harmonic distortion - <0,5%

The Amazon reviews are quite informative (especially the person who said As sound quality goes, these things are amazing! Beautiful, strong bass and crisp highs. The volume even goes very high compared to other headphones. Well done Sennheiser!

The reason why I am returning these, is because although they are one of the best sounding headphones I have ever heard, they leak WAY too much sound. Anyone in the same room can here the music that I'm playing quite well. Every word is audible to the outside listener. For me this makes them very unattractive.

I'm sad to part with these as they sound so good, but I need something a bit quieter to the public.

I have never had any problems with sound leakage, but the volume level is shocking when they are turned up all the way.
