Hi, > Semi-open is what I prefer to open and closed. I only owned the > semi-opened AKG and several cheap opened headphones myself. I personally own a Bayerdynamic DT-770 Pro and I'm very happy with it. Of course you need to know the frequency-curve and mixing (studio) should be done with more than one headphone (and speakers!) but for live-mixing this thing is superb! And I never had a reliabilty-problem with it. If you're looking for a semi-closed one you can take a look at the Beyerdynamic DT-880 Pro which is the semi-closed variant of the DT-770. It's the most expensive in the series. The DT-990 Pro is the "open back" variant and costs about the same as the 770.
