Topic: senheiser 280s vs. Sony 7506's... which to choose

[halteh]

Question, not entirely related to this thread, but maybe someone here could help out. I am looking to get a pair of Sennheiser headphones, i was thinking about the 570's, one of my concerns is how much sound these headphones emit from outside. I normally listen to my phones in the same room where my brother is either reading, watching tv, or on his computer. He's already anal enough about my sony MDR-CD280's being too loud at some points. Will i have this problem with this Sennheiser's?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

I'd say it'd be an issue that you'd need closed phones to resolve. However, unless he has really good hearing or your room is pretty small, I'd say you need to watch your volume levels (to protect your hearing).
