Open/Closed back headphones

Alright, so I recently tried out the Hifiman Edition S, and there's something about them that I absolutely adored. They have these plates that go over the ear cups, and when they're on, the headphones act as close back headphones, but when they're off, they act as open back headphones. I was wondering if there's any other pair of headphones out there that had that same design, where they can be switched from close back to open back on the fly like that? I prefer the sound of open back, but I want to use my headphones at school, and you don't really want an open back headphone in a quiet classroom. Is the Edition S my only option, or is there anything else like it? I've looked quite a bit, but I can't find anything.

 

Here's the link to the headphones i'm referring to: https://hifiman.com/products/detail/257

Had a custom pc, but I traded it for a Razer Blade 15 with a RTX 2070
