... if you want your wife to continue sleeping in the same bedroom with you. You do not want OPEN-BACKED headphones, your wife will definitely hear them in use!There are some very good full-sized, "closed-back" headphones available in the sub-$1000 range. Some of these "sealed" headphones create a much tighter and more isolating seal around the ears than others do, however...
You will want the very tightest seal you can find. The only problem is, individual head shapes make it impossible to manufacture a pair of closed-back headphones that will fit everyone. You might need to try a few pairs on first, in order to decide which one fits (and seals) best for you.
