Audio technica 500x or 700x and closed or open design help urgent ?!

[vESP]

I've made my final choice on my brand of headphone always loved British German and Japanese headphones but prefer the Jap overall.

Now the decision on the type. I've locked down the 2 models and just need help on the

500v700 and open v closed choice.

I use these at home while gaming. Editing and basic audio mixing. On the bus in the car and at uni in common areas where sometimes can be loud or whisper quiet.

I've used open drivers on the plantronic 500 E gaming headset and loved them but I don't want to have feedback via my blue yetti or modmic and disrupt other student while I edit in class.

How much leakage is there really as the plantronic was Minimal.

You're going to want to get closed for public use as these are basically mini speakers on your head. 500x/700x are about the same sound quality wise, just get whatever cheaper.

AudioTechnica AD700X are great for their cost. The only knock I would give them is the anemic bass (Much better with the closed back setup) that is somewhat improved by the next model up - AD900X in both open and closed. Mind you, if you are out in public, I would advise against all open back headphones, otherwise I am a fan of their sound signature, though you might possibly find the treble fatiguing (less so on the closed back)
