It depends on how tight the fit is with the different sizes of ear pieces included and how high the volume is set. If you get a tight fit and don't turn them up too loud, there is very little leakage - someone right next to you could barely hear them.

I didn't notice much leakage of sound. I tried the various ear plug sizes that come with the Brainwavz until I found the one that fitted most comfortably and blocked outside noise the best. Put it this way, if I am listening with the earphones and my wife call me I can't hear her! (She has to visually signal me) Hope this helps.

I don't hear any sound leaking when my wife uses them around the house, but I don't think she turns up the volume much either.

I have them in a 12'x12'x9' room and they more than fill that from with sound. Hope that helps!

They DEFINITELY leak sound in a quiet room, and it's quite audible. I wouldn't even think about trying to use them at my cubicle at work, for example

Unless you play your music at relatively high volumes (I-tunes slider maxed, and windows volume slider over 50-60) then it won't be very noticeable unless theirs absolutely nothing else going on in the room noise wise (fans, tv, talking etc.) If you plan to use them in the library or tend to be in a dead quite environment though, then I would go with any headphones that are "Closed back" such as any DJ headphones.

Not unless you have it really loud..You don't need the volume high to enjoy these. So for the most part no, no one should be able to hear your music..

They have significant sound leakage. You can hear lyrics word for word if you're within a couple feet and volume at a normal level.

The cups form a pretty good seal around my ears, so I don't think there's much leakage. Nobody around me has said they can hear my music.

Depends solely on music choice, and eq settings of the app you use. Once you've passed the 3/4ths of the volume bar on your phone you get leakage. On pc, once you get pass about 30-40, library workers will start giving you the stink eye. They isolate good for quiet listening, but I wouldn't buy them for thst purpose.

Yes, At full volume people around you will definitely be able to hear if it is quiet. They are not as bad as other over ear headphones but being over ear they tend to start leaking audio at around ¾ full volume. Walking around outside it is usually fine even on full volume but if you are in a quiet room I wouldn't plan on putting them on full volume if you don't want other people to hear.

They will be fine in a small room if you have the room. They will have better bass.

I blast my music too and these definitely dont leak any sound. I was really impressed with that.

It seems to me that there is minimal (if any) sound leakage from these headphones. I have been using them for about a year now in various environments and no one has ever indicated that they heard what I was listening to.

There is "sound leakage". At the moment, I have them hooked up to my computer. No special amplification, just on-board Realtek. At 75-100% volume, I can slightly hear them over ambient noise (such as my heater, which is kind of loud) while standing about ten feet away. I don't know if everyone else that answered this question listens to their music at low volume, or if their headphones have some insulation that mine doesn't but in my experience, there is plenty of "sound leakage". Also, you could actually use these as speakers while you're not wearing them. They wouldn't be loud enough to entertain anyone, but you could still listen to something while they sit on your desk.

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!
