Does the sound "leaks"? I know these are not noise-canceling, but I need to know if people around me will hear everything I&acute;m listening to.

The volume can go pretty high but it doesn't leak noticeably even on higher settings. On low settings you can hear and have a conversation at normal speaking volume

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.

They are really not noise-canceling. That is what I wanted and these do not provide that even though it says so somewhere. If you find one that is, please let me know. I wanted to read in same room as someone with tv, or on airplanes, bUT these barley even make a diffrence.

Jonah, these are not noise cancelling head phones so it you're looking to shut yourself off from the world these are not for you. I feel like these were designed for the bast sound, and yeah you can turn it up so you can't hear anything from the outside world if you would like. There is some leakage when you have them turned up. I work next to a lady that pays way too much attention to everyone else and she can hear them when I have them about 75% up. These are meant for the pleasure of the listener.

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 .

They do have good sound. I'm really liking them. If anyone else is around and you are using the headphones, make sure they know to tap you if they need to get your attention unless the volume isn't loud.

They aren't noise-canceling headphones, as in they don't have "Active Noise Control" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_noise_control) but when I put them on, things definitely get much more muted.

Not really. It's on the large side, and it's not noise canceling. They're open headphones, so people around you will hear what you're listening to if it's loud enough.

These don't seem to leak sound. As an example: if you take them off your head and place the ear cups against your chest, crank up the volume medium-high, you won't hear leakage. I can't compare them to the AT M50x's as I've not tried those.

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.

The ones I have are in my opinion not noise-cancelling. They are just simple high quality headphones.

They are closed headphones and don't leak at all. Just asked the person sitting next to me (4 feet away): she doesn't hear anything!

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.

Hi NzoMD. I'd rate the sound leak about equivalent to the noise-cancelling. Pretty darn good but not 100%. I tested it by playing music with my laptop volume on max then the headphone volume on max, and the results left, in my opinion, "quiet" sounds.

These are not noise canceling so you can hear a little. However, I listen to music pretty much on full blast and my husband can only hear very soft, muffled sound when sitting next to me but not enough to make out what I'm listening to or disturb the pertain next to you. If you're goal is total silence then you need to pay up for the nose canceling style.

They are not noise isolating; you will still hear some outside noise. And yes, there is some sound leak, but of course how much depends on how loudly you listen to them.

No, sound don't leak on normal volume, only bit sound leaks if the volume is higher. They are extremely comfortable headphones
