Some questions to help me better answer yours.... 1) What is your music source? (assuming your phone but please confirm) 2) Where will you be doing the majority of your listening? 3) What types of music do you listen to? 4) Where do you source your music (stream, download, rip)? 5) What headphones/iems do you currently own if any? 6)What do you like/dislike about your current headphones/iems that make you want to go over-ear? 7) What is your budget?

AceJokerzHi there it seems that if you have people around you might want a pair of closed headphones and if you dont use an amp you want something easy to drive. I would say if you can go open then I would as I find it sounds natural and "open" lol some examples I would look at are.
Beyerdynamic dt770 (closed) Grado SR series something like the sr80e (open) Fidelio X2 (Open) Fostex tr-80 (Closed) Hifiman HE400 series (open)
I own most of them headphones and out of them I would say the grado for the price are really good for rock but check reviews out for these and see what suits you best.

I am really curious how does and open sounds like. I see a lot saod that other people will hear what u r listening clearly, and that's for sure A no no for my case.
And I've been reading up review on the fostex tr-80, some a few number mebtioned that the bass is not good.
And by the way, what does it mean by easy to drive?

AceJokerzIf possible open to me is just much better sounding often sounding out of head where as closed often sounds inside your head same as iems. I have a pair of tr80 and would say the bass is good not the best i have heard but good enough for the price. The headphone sounds quite balanced nothing seems to overpower other frequency ranges.
What I mean by easy to drive is that it will play loudly out of a phone or portable device important if you are not using an amp. You want headphones with low ohms and sensitivity can be as important so keep an eye out for them specs.
If all that sounds like gobbledigook then I can only apologise lol

AceJokerzMost important thing mate is ignore all reviews and just listen to them if you like the sound then that's good enough.
Keeps us posted with how you get on buddy.

Tested and found two set of sennheiser Momentum 2 on ear, currently on sale which was 329sgd. And hd8dj which was 531sgd.
The hd8 confirm has better sound but the grip is too string. But based on the price, which in your preference is more worth it?

AceJokerzUnfortunately iv not heard any of them but...
Ask yourself a few questions:
Which has better sound Which has better comfort Which has better build quality If you don't have a clear winner then ask yourself what is the price to performance value.
That last question is probably the most important and is for you alone to decide. It's your cash and you have to be happy with what you spent it on.
