How is the sound leakage? Can the person next to you hear everything?

Not too bad, but it is possible good for it's style. If you that worried I would get another style (full over the ear or ear plug design)

If your listening to Led Zeppelin or Mountain at 3/4 volume there is sound leakage. Although it's not bad. If your listening to something mellow it's not noticeable. Again sound is great,bass is really good and there light and comfortable in my opinion.

Sorry, I don't know, I never asked anyone. I don't think I would wear them in the library, at least not to listen to music. I've used them to listen to instructional videos a couple of times, and nobody has complained. If you were sitting on the bus blasting music, the person next to you might get annoyed. Other than that, I don't think they "leak" much sound. Nice headphones. I little delicate, but very good sound and price. Hope this helps.

While they are not 100% leak proof. I would say they block roughly 90% of the sound to the people around you.

Behind a thin wall? I doubt it. I find that the sound is so great that I don't have to turn them up very loud to hear every high and low. As far as someone in the same room hearing them goes, I don't think that's an issue either, because I can hear outside sounds like wife calling me, phone or doorbell etc. while hearing all of the music or sound effects from PC games.

No. They can hear me perfectly. I love this product. Very clear to listen to the other person's voice.

Quite a bit with these, I let a friend try them out with a PC game and I could hear everything quite clearly standing next to him. In general open back headphones will leak more sound, I do have a few pairs that are fairly quiet to someone nearby but these broadcast the sound very well. For your purposes I would recommend a closed-back headphone or an open-back that doesn't leak much sound (find a place to try it out first if you can).

I've asked a couple of people at work and they report the sound leakage is minimum at higher volume. We have separate cubes at my workplace and I've gotten no complaints. I've also had someone else wear them to hear it for myself and it's very quiet.

Leak, as in someone around you can hear? No the closed set does not leak sound. I think Aaron Burleys review in the review section sums it up. You can read more there. Concerning music he said, "Now, onto the good! Other than the lack of bass, these things sound absolutely amazing. I've never been a fan of close backed headphones, but these opened my mind. I heard things in music that I never knew existed. Things like extra background voices in the chorus of a song, reverb where I didn't know it was present" However if you want a headphone set strictly for music your probably better of looking at something different.

Yes you will still hear someone talking next to you but it will be very muffled

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.

I asked my cubicle neighbor if he could hear any sound leak from my headphones when I had them around 50% (less than 4 feet away, but through a foam wall) and he said "Not at all." I also find the sound quality to be high enough that I rarely have music turned up that loud. The thing I like best about these headphones is their ability to block out the office chatter. People have to tap on my desk to get my attention. Awesome!

If you have the volume set to max then yes its pretty loud having it right behind your ear. Setting the volume down a few clicks did the trick. You and the viewer will still hear it. We took a 5 hour road trip and had no problems.

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

The sound is not bad. You can live with it but i would recommend a sound bar .

The sound leakage based on a person talking normally is not bad sometimes you can't hear them at all and if you do hear people talking, it'll be more like murmur. You can use them on a plane, but I think you need to get a different jack for it. I am not sure about using them in a professional setting because I have never used them in that circumstances before. Overall it's a very good quality headphones for its price. Hope this helps.

I hid mine underneath but anything between the beeper and the person is going to cut down the volume some. I found that the unit was not as loud as I was expecting but is serving the purpose regardless.

Not that bad. Definitely not someone on other side of wall, but someone a few feet away in the same room will hear sound.

I notice minimal leakage even at loud volumes. If there is any amount of ambient noise in your quiet environment you should be just fine.
