Sound Leakage: Could this possibly be due to a change in the product, or do you think this has been an issue all along?

yes, they leak sound but it depends on 1) how loud you like somethign when noise cancelling is on 2) how loud you can turn it up with surrouinding ambient noise They defintely leak sound though

Haven't tried that. I will give it a go today or tomorrow. Get back to me then. So I tested the unit on both program content and commercial content. Both were in the range of 38-40 db. Didn't see any difference in the sound level between them.

ok. Got the replacement.1) the static sound still exists from 1-8 but it's half as bad as the previous unit2) now sometimes i get a buzzing sound when the volume is at 0This one was also manufactured in October 2010.I'll see if this bothers me enough, else i'll send it back.

I've faced the sound level went to silent. Once I've switched off and on again, working fine.the issue was when I use the HDMI.

It's noticeable but not the worst I've heard. Putting it up high (be careful, drippage) might block it. We had music and the noise wasn't a problem. Can definitely talk over it. Please be aware that I personally had TERRIBLE dripping problems with mine but perhaps it was a defective item. Best of luck if you purchase!

First thing I would try is fiddling with the headphone plug in. Try sticking the plug in and pushing towards the edges, and see if the noise changes while you do that. Second it could be noise from the system, try a different audio source too.

I noticed almost no sound leakage. I have had these and I like to listen relatively loud but I have never had anyone else comment that they can hear what I am listening to. Hope this helps!

I agree with Karin. What I did for the noise Is I either put my headphones in with my iPod or I will out a movie on my kindle fire with my Netflix and use my headphones. Then i can't hear the machine. :-)

Honestly, no I haven't experienced this issue as of yet. Also, note that the stereo is installed in my RV that I don't drive everyday. That said, I may not be useful to use for feedback. Thank you for checking! Scot

Not sure exactly what you mean by sound leakage! I can hear some ambient sounds (for example, a table saw I was using) but no one around me has heard what I'm listening to. I hope this helps!

I found a video that might give people a sense of how much sound leaks out.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uafYNCrPFrs

Haven't seen this happen for the 9 months I've been using the Coby. I wonder if the dropouts are happening in your audio source.

I would say that there is a considerable sound leakage as these are "on the ear" headphones. If you are worried about sound leakage you should consider "over the ear" headphones preferably with noise cancellation features.

I don't have that problem! Maybe the sound software needs updating? or headphones defective?

I'm using this in a office environment and mine seem to leak a large amount of sound in comparison to both a low end Jabra C820S and high end BOSE QuietComfort 15.I dont know if mine are leaking out more than whats normal, for a closed back design I cannot understand how on earth they released something like this without insulting it better, and they want to compete for space against BOSE?, give me a break....Just my 2 cents though, they do sound amazing and the noise cancellation works well.

I've had mine for almost a year with no noise or other issues... I vaguely recall a couple reviews with that complaint, though... you'd have to check reviews from 2011 to find 'em... quality control is never foolproof unfortunately...

No, played at reasonable sound, but if exceeded " loud" sound play, leakage will occur.
