Possible the HD700's. Those (along with HD800) look incredibly bulky though. I've heard HD700 and HD800's are not as "Neutral" (not that, it's a requirement).
These will be primarily used at work with a fairly "open" office environment. They are not cubes but it not wide open either (not partitionless). We have random partitions here and there to break it up a little.
A good test that I found for seeing how loud open backs are was to open up a closed set of headphones and that's about how loud it will be it. It seems like it will be Ok. We have a lot of "white noise" from computers too. It's just bairly under the bar as acceptable. My closest co-worker said no problem. I'm not sure I would personally like it if I was concerntrating and could hear it. But I think it's worth a shot. Leakage into them is not an issue.
I've just taken delivery of a pair of HD700 s to partner with my explorer and newly acquired prime. Only had them a couple of days so still working through my favourite music but have to say so far I am seriously impressed. They are not as bulky as the pics suggest in the flesh, and they are without question the most comfortable pair of cans I have ever worn.
I had closed backs previously and the shift to open is a step forward in my opinion, they are far more spacious and when coupled with the asp processing options on the prime are nothing short of breathtaking with the right tracks. Not had a great deal of time with the explorer 2 as yet so will report back.
PS - I thought the leakage would be worse, in 'a lively' office environment you won't have a problem.
