Closed back headphone recommendations? (feddit.de)

It seems like open back are the defacto recommendation for headphones. I already own an AKG K240 and since I intend to use them around other people, I don't want the noise bleed. What do people prefer for closed back applications? I've been looking at the DT 770 Pro's and the Hifiman Sundara Closed. I really like a sound signature with a bass emphasis. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I bought my audio technica ath-m50x 5 years ago and they are still going strong! I replaced the cable once, but that's the easiest thing ever and my ear pads could do with a replacement, because the Faux leather is flaking off, but I'm too lazy and actually quite like the soft cushion underneath.

I really like the sound and it definitely has an emphasis on bass!

I also have the DT 770 pro, but I actually like the sound of the ATHs better for electronic, bass heavy music, so depending on your music preferences, you could give them a try :)

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check them out.
