How much do these leek sound?

They leak some due to the open ports and the movable outer shell (the large diaphragm around drivers) to fit different heads. If you look at the headphones each of the peace signs is a port but no more than others. If you are looking to be able to listen and no one else hear what you are listening to, say in an office setting, the volume would have to be lower. These are big 50mm drivers so I like them a lot. But, quiet would have to be earplugs not headphones. Other headphones that sit on the ear would still have the same problem but not as much. Fantastic for the price, I believe. Hope that helps.

Not very much but it is noticeable. I wouldn't recommend them as the performer's monitors during recording but they're fine for regular use.

It is not too bad but if you within 5 feet of someone and you are blasting it at full volume they could probably make out the lyrics of the song. That being said if you keep it to a reasonable level no one would notice. I still really like mine

I think they sound great. I don't really push tons of volume through them, but in the small room I've got them in they sound nice and full. I dropped them into a pair of old radio shack enclosures. Can't beat the price

The Elixirs have a more trebly snap to them - a very specific sound, maybe a little tinny. The EXPs are definitely warmer, fuller in the bass. I prefer the EXPs for sound.

Minimal. They're quite snug fitting and contain sound very well. The only thing I would mention is that if you wear glasses, like me, they obviously won't be "as" snug and I could see that accounting for a bit of leakage, but I haven't had this issue myself.

Either will work....My personal preference are ELIXIR (NANO-WEB) Albeit they are a bit more....about $15 per set, but they sound great and last about 3-5 times longer than the cheaper brands.

They sound great. Think the manufacturer recommends setting to 100hz, I run mine at 80hz crossover and they sound perfect. Guess if you set to 50hz to find out, but would not recommend it, 80hz is the thx setting anyway. It would probably do 50-60hz no problem, but draw extra power from the receiver, when it should be for your mains.

What if I make an awful leek-potato soup? ;) Seriously, though, thanks for answering that question everyone, because I had the same question!

32 Ohms imp. 20-20000Hz freq. 40mm driver Extremely rich on the sound And being that they are Philipses, be aassured they'll last!!

White Teflon water pipe tape is the way I have always installed these. Never had a leek.

4500 will be too much for these speakers. Do NOT buy these speakers. They sound horrible if you turn it up at all and there's no bass. I don't even use them anymore, they were a waste of money. I'm now using car speakers which work pretty good.

They are ok but don't expect any quality sound out of these small speakers. They are really small, almost consider them tiny.

I don't remember but they are very good speakers I didn't have ni complaints about them just try them out with a J.B.L amp 6 to an 900 watts

they work well in hot and sour soup. Shitakes work well also. Button mushroom not o much.

Yes, a decent one. I am very satisfied with the response. Make sure to use the right bud size to direct the sound into your ear canal for a fuller sound field.

Don't really have anything to compare them to. We have them in the kitchen ceiling and they sound good. No problems with them at all.

In my opinion - - expect around the 4200k area. Unless something has changed lately. I will also say that they still perform very well with the addition of Foliar feeding during Veg, (very nice), dark period will need to be increased. cheers

I personally didn't really care for the sound. I have a cheaper pair of pioneer 4-ways in the front of my '94 for ranger, and these in the back. I hard wired them to my aftermarket radio which if i can remember correctly was kicking about 60 watts each to them. Maybe that isn't enough for these speakers but I was definitely let down by these.
