Can a nearby person hear any sound emitted from these headphones at a medium-high volume?

No. They are the best headphones. i bought bose and other expensive headphones.

No they can't. I confirmed it on an airplane today, asking the woman next to me if it was bothering her, and she said she couldn't hear anything. They are the best I have owned and a bargain.

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.

These have noise isolation padding so when you have it at certain volume you can barely hear outside noise. Even on some lower volume or no volume you can tell the difference. I can hear others talking with them on no sound but it's almost as if they are surpresed

If you are waering them no, they cant. If you are not wearing them and they are really close to you they might hear it.

They do not get as loud as normal headphones. I was very impressed by them, and once my kids got older and went to regular headphones, they were shocked by the volume difference and for a while preferred to go back to these. So, I believe the answer to your question would be "yes".

No, I don't think that other people can hear these earphones under normal conditions. One of their advantages is being able to play quietly. If you listen with only one, the sound is not adequate. You need one in each ear to hear properly. The in-ear design reduces ambient sound, and makes possible comfortable low volume listening.

Yes. I purchased the headphones for my father's Christmas gift. My mother is now able to listen at "normal" volume.

Yes, a coworker recognized the song I was listening to from a good 15 feet away, granted I was blasting my tunes pretty loud. At a moderate volume, I can hear the song if the headphones are around my neck, but not well

Yes, but the headphones do not fit tight to the ears. You can hear external noises unless you have the volumn turned all the way up. Then people around you can hear what you are playing. For the price they are not worth it.

People can hear everything. If your worried about that, than these aren't good head phones.

I disagree with other comments here. I don't have my music quiet, per se, but yes, others next to me can hear sound from my headphones. They do completely surround the ear, but that is not the same as sound-cancelling.

They are not loud. You can hear them as loud as your clothes but they really don't work.

They aren't super loud, but they're pretty loud. Wouldn't say super tho. If your volumes on its max; you can't hear anyone.

No. But when you are listening to music with them you cant hear anything else

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..

No, they aren't nearly loud enough. I actually replaced these with a set of over the ear nakamichis for just a couple of more bucks. Not a good solution for listening to music at your desk.

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.
