I'm in the market for new decent headphones or earbuds. Normally I favor the latter form factor as they're easier to carry around and I feel tend to be more immersive; also wearing headphones for a long time makes my ear kind of hurt, but I'd be open to give headphones a try.

This is what I'd be looking for:
-As portable as possible as I'd like to wear them around.
-If possible, that they don't leak a lot of sound (I hate it when people wear super loud headphones).
-Comfy. Comfy.
-Decent design. I've seen some monstrosities around that I could never use.

I was looking into several Bose headphones, as they're famous for their sound, they seem pretty lightweight and have decent, not too flashy design:

These seem very similar but in on-ear/around-ear forms. I believe the latter would be more comfy as it wouldn't apply pressure on my ear?

Cons of the Bose models are that it seems they don't have much Bass?

In case it helps, this is what I'm using at the moment and I think they sound pretty decent: http://en-us.sennheiser.com/noise-cancelling-earbuds-headphones-cx-300-ii-precision

You might want to also ask the Headphone/Audio GAF OT Thread. They're very dedicated to sound!

Thanks Volotaire, I'll take a look there!

If you need nose cancelling then Bose qc 25 is a step above the competition.
