This choice is just closed or open isn't it? If you will bother other people by leaking noise then go for closed if you can leak noise and nobody is bothering you with noise then open will give you a more natural feel. Closed tend to have slightly increased bass response.

The Sennheiser name has a good reputation with sound and the HD 408 seemed to fit my need for bass.
However, I assumed they were over-the-ear types but the pads don't actually come in contact with my head and stress my ears after only an hour of use. I'm sure not everyones ears are the same, but I was assuming at least a softer/larger pad.
