What do I look for in closed headphones? I look for ability to keep others from hearing what I am listening to (so as not to disturb family members), to block out external noise (e.g. TV or airplane), an airy response with open treble, similar to that from open headphones, and wearing comfort. I also like those that are efficient, easily driven by an iPhone and with an inline Apple-capable remote.
I have no partcular preference Tom headband type, just as long as the headband is both comfortable and able to keep headphones in place when I stoop over to pick something off the floor. Lighter headphones are easier to keep in place comfortably.
I have and love the Beats EP, Yamaha Pro 500, Sony MDR-Z7, and Ultrasone Edition 8 (Ruthenium). Also, for active noise cancellation and wireless operation, I have the Sennheiser PXC-310BT (comfy, folds to fit in shirt pocket, offers Apple controls, but not so great at isolation), the Sennheiser Momentum Over Ear, and the Parrot Zik (original version).
