How are these with sound leaking?

Leaking in or leaking out? I can't comment on leaking out...As far as leaking in, they're a little less efficient than a pair of foam ear plugs, at least with my earphones. Enough isolation to make them useful for mowing the lawn but not enough for using the chain saw.

There are no sound leaking with these tips. This and perfect noise reducution allow me to listen my player with much lower volume and higher comfort in noisy places.

I've found them to be very efficient at preventing sound leakage. I did find them a little less durable than expected. Overall, I would still buy them again for the combination of comfort and sound quality.

no, they don't leak sound at all. Just make sure you put the right sized pads over the ear buds. They come with 4 sizes, so you have to choose the one which fits snugly in your ear.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

There doesn't seem to be a problem with sound leakage, but you can hear the stuff going on around you. This is by far the best/most comfortable headset I've ever used.

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

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

Yes they do leak a bit especially at very high volume. Also I myself found that wearing them for a few hours while at the gym my ears got hot and sweaty

There is minor sound leakage to the outside world, however no one seems to have complained when I wear them at work, or in the airports. In an office/cubicle environment I would think they would work out well, especially if you dont blast your music trying to blow out your own ears. From checking them out earlier (admittedly putting them over a rolled up blanket with volume set at about 65%) I could barely hear any leakage from more than a couple feet away.If you do end up getting these and using them at work I would suggest you get a cable extension (at least a couple feet) so you would have more freedom to move about in your workspace There is minor sound leakage to the outside world, however no one seems to have complained when I wear them at work, or in the airports.

Mine have never leaked, you might have a defective pair, send the pair back to Amazon.

Leakage is bad. Definitely not minimal. Earplugs are better if you are avoiding leakage

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.

Yes, they are open air design, so everyone will probably hear what you're hearing if they're in the same room. Because of this, I have not taken mine to work. If you listen quietly you can't hear the sound leaking, but at the level I like to listen (mildly loud) people can easily tell what you're listening to.

These leak very little and are tough, repairable, and sound great. I use them quite frequently on the recording studio and are loud enough for even the deafest drummers. Best of luck ! www.camilosilvaf.com
