I did look, but it was more expensive there :(

Yes, but they have like nothing. Not anything i've looked at atleast. 

It looks like you can get them in sweden for pretty much the same as they cost on the UK amazon (when you add shpping)

different ohm versions, if you click one of them then you can see that the Ohm rating is changing.

just get the lower ohm version, it will be slightly easier to drive.

not sure I understand what you are trying to say.

With open headphones, the surroundings will maybe get lowered by 10%, the leakage from what you are hearing would be about the same as if you lay your headphones on your table with the cups pointed towards you while playing music at your normal listening level.

I mean like, the sound from my headphones, will they hear it as loud as I can hear them?

With my current headset I can't hear when something is talking to me, will I hear them with open?

yes you will be able to hear them, but not as loud as you can without them on with music playing, since your music/game will cancel some of it out, but you could also risk hearing damage since you might keep turning up until you can't hear them.

I do just fine with open headphones in the suburbs, you can use open in big cities as long as your house or apartment blocks the noise decently
