Open back headphones?

Hi,

So I've got my eye on the Sennhieser HD 580s on an auction, could get them cheap. But my concern is the open back element of the headphones, does this mean that if I'm singing to my track with the cans on and recording through my condenser mic. that the mic will probably pick up the sound coming out my headphones ?

Thanks

Hearing Audio in Headphones While Recording

I am recording a podcast, and would like to hear everything that is being said through headphones in real time. Here's my setup.

MXL 990 condenser mics into the mic jacks of a Mackie VLZ series mixer. An instrument cable from the out port of the back of the mixer, into the instrument input of a PreSonus firebox. Firewire out of the firebox into the USB port of a macbook.

choosing monitoring headphones

Hey everyone,

I need some urgent feedback and help on choosing between 4 headphone monitors, and since the local vendors don't actually have these models, I'm having it shipped and so I can't try any of them till I actually buy them. I HAVE done quite a bit of research, and I have narrowed it down to these 4 - 5 models.
