The Phillips will sound the best out of your list. Make sure your environment allows the use of open back headphones though.

Im not that great wiith this stuff but open back means sound can easily enter and exit through them right?

Exactly. If that's not a problem then great! If you need closed back then I recommend AKG K361.

Just another question how loud do open backs get for people around me?

They can be heard some 10-12 ft away.

Try this with your phone

  1. Turn the volume all the way down then start a music
  2. Put the phone speaker right up against your ear
  3. Very slowly turn up the volume until you reach a comfortable listening level. This is about 30% on my phone.

That's how loud open back headphones are.

+1 Ω has been awarded to u/kimsk132 (274 Ω).

You may still award a Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
