Do people around you hear the music your are listening to? In other words - do these buds leak sound?

Even when I pull them out of my ears and turn up the sound - they don't leak sound. I wish everybody wore these so others didn't have to hear what sounds like a tin can full of angry bees!

My son has been wearing them. I have not heard his music. I also noticed it's much more difficult for him to hear me while he wears them. I practically have to yell or wave my hands to get his attention.

They do leak. I hate them so much because of that the other end of the earbuds have a little speaker which allows others to hear what you're listening to quite easily. I'm going to return them because the wood could break with ease.

No, not if you get a good fit with a good seal with the ear tips. If you turn your music way up someone may hear the smallest amount of noise, but it will not be loud enough to disturb them.

I've listened to them pretty loud and I haven't gotten any strange looks from people because they could hear my music. As far as I'm concerned, these headphones don't have much sound leakage if any at all.

You mean the sound of people listening to music? I must say that although mine broke too quickly, they did an excellent job of cancelling out noises. I mainly wore them on the PT (train and bus, and walking downtown) on my commute to and from work.

While they are not 100% leak proof. I would say they block roughly 90% of the sound to the people around you.

You have to play music at a high volume for others close around you to hear it. The headphone has little sound leakage, but if others around you can hear music well, you are probably listening at a level unsafe for yourself. When I let my grandson use them, I did not hear sounds. Hope this helps

There might be some leakage. I know that other people say they can hear my music when I have the volume high. But not too bad though. These are pretty nice for the price, though. I'd buy them again for this price.

I notice a bit, but it is not so audible as to be a problem. At least for me it isn't. But, as they say, your results may vary. I would guess it would relate to the buds you are using. I use a very good, but not great, set of Sennheisers.

yes, they leak sound but it depends on1) how loud you like somethign when noise cancelling is on2) how loud you can turn it up with surrouinding ambient noiseThey defintely leak sound though

They are open-air headphones and do leak sound, it does help improve the quality though. But if you're looking for non-leakage, I'd go with the Monoprice IEM, They are super cheap and sound fantastic with minimal leakage.

Mark, they are pretty good at drowning out background noise. I love mine! They have a great sound as well & are very comfortable!

Yes, other people will be able to hear your music. These headphones sound like someone using earphones at 100% of volume even though the headphones are at a low volume level, so yes, people will notice the music in an average office setting.

Yes, they will leak noise. These are semi-open headphones so isolation is not going to be very good

If you mean ambient noise leaking in, yes it is a factor, but I raise the volume and the headphones are fine. Listening to news and information radio, I can easily follow the talk even when using a large shop vacuum. Sometimes I do yard work near a busy intersection with city buses and lots of traffic going by. the sound is still good. If you mean noise leaking out irritating the people around you, I asked my wife and she said that she has not heard any. I wear them a lot doing stuff while she is watching TV. They solve the problem of my radio or music interfering with her TV. In my active life-style, the earplugs always fall out. I'm really happy with this set of headphones.

No they will not, these headphones really are great in that aspect. The noise isolation is incredible. I have had multiple occasions where people have been trying to talk to me while I was using them, and I had no idea anyone was trying to talk to me. They told me they couldn't hear the music at all, but it was loud enough for me to not be able to tell anyone was talking to me.

They do have good sound. I'm really liking them. If anyone else is around and you are using the headphones, make sure they know to tap you if they need to get your attention unless the volume isn't loud.

Depends on how far they are away from you. If someone is about 3 feet away from you and your music volume is around 50% then they can hear it but only barely. If you keep it at a decent level then they shouldn't hear your music at all unless they had cat like hearing.
