Do these "leak" noise? I'm looking to purchase a bluetooth headset as I fly quite often, but I do not want to bother anyone sitting next to me.

Dont belive other reviews. The seller paid them to give positive reviews. BEWARE

If the volume turns up from 0 to 2 for moderate listening, it won't bother person next to u. Hope that helps.

yes , a lot. many of the better headphones leak noise its just a trade off. they have wonderful sound and clearity. the Bluetooth range is very far as well. I have a small head but they fit well but look enormous on me. I hope this helps. basically everything can be clearly heard by someone near by , you would be " that guy" on the plane , I would stick with some simple ear buds and use these earphones for personal use at home .

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

I just read your comments and was wondering which product you were talking about. I also have a hard time finding a bluetooth or head phones that stay on my ears. I have almost completely given up on a bluetooth, but was considering trying one of the bluetooth headsets that go behind your neck or over your head? Any suggestions?

I bought a pair of these ~2 years ago and never noticed the sound leakage. I lost them and recently bought another pair last week (loved the first pair obviously) and immediately noticed sound leakage. Not sure if something changed in recent design, but I definitely noticed.

In my opinion the leakage will not be to loud.Having said that there is some leakage so if you want it to be silent these headphones are not the right choice.Edit...In regards to the DJ8 headphones, sorry but I have never heard them.

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.

There's no noise bleeding if you are listening at normal levels. It is possible to get noise bleeding if you turn the volume up high. I don't feel like these are that great for blocking out outside noise. You'll probably want noise cancelling headphones for an airplane ride unless you don't mind turning the volume up.

It's been an issue all alone. These tight passive isolation circumaural earphones naturally tend to sound muffled because well...they muffle the sound--that's how they're designed to block out outside sound (the active noise cancellation also helps of course). These purposely leak some sound to allow the drivers to vibrate more freely instead of getting all this resonance and intereference from the trapped sound reflecting and interacting with the whole earpad. Having said that, QC2s are slightly better; but last time I checked, they're also slightly $120 more expensive. Now that slight amount of extra dough, I'm afraid that's slightly too expensive for the most of us. It's been an issue all alone.

Yes they leak sound, but if you listen at work appropriate levels say 20% on iPhone, should be no problem unless you share a cube. They sound great.

No, the sound doesn't leak at all when I use them - my wife watches TV from the bed right behind my PC and only complains about my talking, not leaking sound! ;) . Regarding music type, the headset does not have very deep bass - its more accurate (think flat EQ). If you enjoy music with heavy bass you should not get this headset. It is more for SQ (Sound Quality) than volume and bass. ps. the mic quality is excellent!

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.

These are great but I would not recommend them for use on a plane because sound will leak in and out. So you will hear both the noise of the plane and your neighbors will be able to hear what you are listening to. Instead I would recommend in-ear buds, noise canceling headphones, or closed back headphones.

They isolate sound pretty well, and pretty soon I will be getting replacement ear pads from beyerdynamic, which are said to feel better, and provide a bit better sound isolation. I will let you know more when I get them.

Haven't used them on a flight, but they'd probably be decent though they don't have any type of active noise suppression. While they do come with foam isolation tips, I use Comply isolation tips that seem to provide more privacy - they're another 20 bucks for 3 pair, but worth it IMO.

They don't leak sound very much in my opinion, not unless you have them turned up past 70%. Though at that point it's quite loud.

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.

They seem to have very good sound isolation. I like to jack the volume up pretty high for action movies when I'm traveling and I've had no problems with the sound bleeding out. FYI great headphone, had them for over a year and they are amazing.

They are rather big and bulky to bring on a plane. They don't "cancel" the backround noise and they only muffle thebackround noise I get in my den. The planes engines, I doubt it. However, for listening at home, they can't be beat!
