Also - I abuse the crap out of these. They're very durable.

I found recertified ones for $105. I guarantee you won't find anything near as good as these for that price.

I recently bought some monoprice foldable headphones for around $20. Was already placing an order and $20 is cheap enough to give it a shot. They sound slightly better than my iPhone headphones which is disappointing, but not surprising.

What are these like for sound leaking and isolation? I listen at an office so I need to be able to hear if someone is talking to me and if the phone is ringing. Also I don't want too much noise to leak out either.
