Yeah dude , that ' s a good deal . And 500 W is plenty unless you ' re going to SLI <| sep |> Uhh where are your stats for ' most women ' and ' some men ' coming from ? <| sep |> Closed back is better if you are in an environment with a lot of ambientbackground noise , but open back will provide you with a larger soundstage instead of hearing a semiin your head sound , since sound can travel a little bit in and out .
