How is the leakage on the headphones? It's the only thing keeping me from buying them.

They are not as good as over the ear models, but still quite good. If you keep the volume very low, you hear surrounding noise, but at normal levels you won't hear much.

I have no problem. Still the best headphones I have ever owned. It forms to my head and sits pretty tight.

Very minimal. The ear padding is like memory foam, fits snug but is very comfortable.

I have NOTICED no leakage on headphones I think due to secure padding over the ears...

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

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.

I have the same issue. I was hesitant to get these but they were highly recommended from a friend so I took a shot in the dark and got them. I'm happy to report that this thing has some pretty nice grip. The downside is it's tight enough that it may cause some ear irritation after extensive use but beyond that this is one of the best purchases I've made.

Glad to help...People often see to be able to tell when I am using the headphones....when in low to med noise environments the output is great. Seemingly the headphones do not defeat exterior noise so the result is often a mixture of everything that is going on my side of the call. Functionality is awesome...as long as you're in an enviro that is not noisy you will love 'em.

They are pretty comfortable, and they definitely fit around the ear. My only complaint is sound leakage, which will happen if you listen to music at over 70% volume levels..

thx - open headphones do sound good, but since they are for a teenager to use in the house, leaky music may not be too desirable. :0(

I can only vouch for the Q's. They are the best headphones that I've ever owned. I love them daily. And they're very comfortable to use.

That's the only issue I have. I wish they had better bass. But it's not a deal breaker for me. I only use them at the gym and they are great for cancelling noise, even though I wear a hoodie and the headphones over my hoodie, they sound great and don't get hot. I listen to rap, hop hop, and rock mostly. And they sound great all across the board. I like them better then beats. And if it helps. They don't fall off my head they fit nice and snug.

I have no problems with them coming out at all! I've worn them walking, running and to the gym and they stay in! Best pair of bluetooth headphones I've ever had! They sound really great too! Got a pair of the bluetooth jabra rox and they were pure crap compared to these! Before these I wore the wired BOSE mie2i, and these have the same type earbuds, and I've never had a problem with those falling out either! Good luck

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.

If you mean ambient noise leaking in, yes it is a factor, but I raise the volume and the headphones are fine. Listening to news and information radio, I can easily follow the talk even when using a large shop vacuum. Sometimes I do yard work near a busy intersection with city buses and lots of traffic going by. the sound is still good. If you mean noise leaking out irritating the people around you, I asked my wife and she said that she has not heard any. I wear them a lot doing stuff while she is watching TV. They solve the problem of my radio or music interfering with her TV. In my active life-style, the earplugs always fall out. I'm really happy with this set of headphones.

I would say that there is a considerable sound leakage as these are "on the ear" headphones. If you are worried about sound leakage you should consider "over the ear" headphones preferably with noise cancellation features.

Sound leakage is minimal, but present. Depends where you are. In my quiet living room, if I have them playing loudly and put them down on a table, I can hear it from a few feet away. But that's at like, way too loud for a quiet room levels. Not world-class. But these aren't quite world-class headphones. If I turn it down to a level you'd expect to be listening in a quiet room, you can't hear any sound leakage at all

I'm using this in a office environment and mine seem to leak a large amount of sound in comparison to both a low end Jabra C820S and high end BOSE QuietComfort 15.I dont know if mine are leaking out more than whats normal, for a closed back design I cannot understand how on earth they released something like this without insulting it better, and they want to compete for space against BOSE?, give me a break....Just my 2 cents though, they do sound amazing and the noise cancellation works well.

I'll raise my hand here as well, I've also been through three pairs with the same issue and also love these earphones. Shure have been fantastic in replacing them for free under warranty. Sadly my most recent pair were lost on a flight, tempted to order these again but would love a pair that doesn't lose sound in one ear and stay in the ear when exercising. Any suggestions?

It doesn't leak sound as much as the beats. These aren't as popular as the beats so you won't really see anyone using them anywhere. They don't fall off because they fit snug so they should be fine for the gym.
