Do they leak when you have the volume up high?

Yes. It's not too bad to where it will bother those around you but at very high volumes 85-100% they'll be able to hear your music some.

I have had my SoundTrues up reasonably high and my wife who sits next to me in our office could not hear my music. The around-ear are better at sealing out sound than the on-ears. Also, you have to make sure the earcups are properly seating around your ears. They should form a seal, and yes like most headphones, if you have them on awhile, they will get warm inside. When that happens, pull them down around your neck, the earcups will automatically face up to evaporate any moisture.

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

They aren't vented, but do have a small piece of rubber on the back that they might be using like a passive radiator... in any case, no, they don't leak any sound. I'd recommend buying some comply tips for these... they really make a great seal with the ear and are even more comfortable than the already good stock eartips. love these headphones, BTW. Not the best I've heard, but better than my shure se-210s my a large margin. Compared to my westone UM2 headphones, they're bigger, but not necessarily better... in the same ballpark.

Hello, I am about to purchase these for use in my cell phone (palm pre). I listen to music (streaming radio and mp3's) all day while at work. I work in a 10x10 cubicle with high walls. Is the sound leaking high enough that it may bother my co-workers? I do not listen to music very loud because I have tennitus which loud noises aggrivates. Also do you have any experience using these with 128kbps sound files? I know that is low, but it is what most streaming music is sent in. Thanks,

They will leak a little, dons on how loud you like to listen to your tunes.

The leakage I'm not too sure about. I haven't had anyone say anything. They are an outstanding headset though. I use them for gaming and music producing and have no complaints at all.

These don't seem to leak sound. As an example: if you take them off your head and place the ear cups against your chest, crank up the volume medium-high, you won't hear leakage. I can't compare them to the AT M50x's as I've not tried those.

They seem to work when tapped on the side or pushed up. Even being able to do this I haven't noticed any leaking.

There isn't that much of a leak because the headphones do almost a perfect job at doing this. People will hear what you're listening if you have it have it full blast though.

I'm not sure. The ones I've used never leaked. I'd contact Amazon if I were you.

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.

High volume, they leak very little noise and block sound very well. Medium/low volume they don't block sound that much.

I think these are better than average at not leaking sound at reasonable volume levels. However, I would turn your music down when you take these off. They sound like little speakers when they are not pressed to your head.

these only leak sound when they arent on your ears. Once they are on ears the cusions do their job and keeping the sound in. I use these in a work enviroment at a fairly high volume and have asked my co-workers about the sound and they do not hear it.

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.
