I'm not aware of any headphones that don't have some level of sound leakage. If you listen to music loudly, it can be heard by those around you in a relatively quiet environment. So, in an airport lobby, it probably won't be an issue, but if you're sitting in a quiet room with your wife, she'll probably be able to hear the "leak through" sound. Sorry, I'm not familiar enough with the HD600 to draw a comparison.

the sound of pxc450 and designer is very good, only loss in canceling noise, the bose, is best quality for canceling noisefor this fact I prefer bose. I consider equal da bose QC 15 and PCX 450.

Their sound is very good, the earcups are kind of squishy like that temperpedic material so you get a good seal which should keep them from leaking sound. I mainly use them on the plane, and you don't have to crank them to get the music decently loud because they isolate your ears pretty well. About the only thing I don't like is you have to flip a manual switch on them if you want to use them without the noise cancelling thing and that switch isn't terribly handy to flip while you are wearing them. They are expensive, but work pretty well.

I would not purchase them,again.There is sound leakage around mine because they are too big for my ears and slide around my head.The company does not offer replacement ear cups.These are gathering dust. Get the Bose, IMO

I'm Dj and I use the Sennheiser PX450 in the disco, and this headphone can drown out some 80% of external noise. I liked the noise-canceling it. In my opinion, the bass is weak, but this problem is offset by the noise-canceling.

That's hard. I'm a huge fan of Shure and am probably the only person who hasn't tried Audio Technica. I'll share a few notes. My Shure 840 have been going up in price. They are solid, big, and a little heavy but really comfortable with no wear fatigue which was critical for me. I wear them all day. Sound is solid and I think - even, maybe a bit flat - so great for monitoring, not quite so great for just enjoying your music. These would sound amazing with a headphone amp but sound good enough that it's been a year and I still haven't bought one. To answer your question directly if I had the money in hand right now I would be on the fence but would try the ATH M50 - just because I haven't tried ATH. That's hard.

Hi, before answer your question I prepared my system and now running it (this time change the usual Emotiva DAC and the Magni amplifier for an Audio GD, very good sound too, by the way) and the sound is clear, defined and extremely well balanced as always with the T70p, really one of my reference headphones. I tried three Hotel songs, just to enjoy the test, the Eagles, Chris Isaak a Katie Melua, all sound outstanding. Beyer have very good warranty and support, must be a fault unit, rare, but happens. Happy Holidays. Leo

I also experienced the hissing/white noise sound with my CX300-B earbuds. Because of this noise, I felt I had to turn the volume up louder than I wanted.Also, when moving the cord, it sent noise into the earbuds.I own a pair of Sennheiser HD 555 earphones that I have been amazed with. The sound quality is unbelievable. Perhaps the bar was set too high, and I expected the same quality from the CX300, but it didn't happen.I have since returned them to Amazon, and am now searching for something better.

I've worn both of these actually. And I've found the M50X's to be amazingly good for the price. They're extremely comfortable, and they're a good choice overall. Nonetheless, the P5's get the edge. The sound is neutral on both of them, but the P5's sound is a bit more nuanced, and true to the source material. (And if you're looking for something with thumping bass, neither of these are your friend - I'd look at beats for that). The P5's are also much more "luxurious". The padding, the presentation, and the details - everything is a step up, albeit at a heftier price tag. I would definitely recommend trying both out at a store if you can - it's a close one.

You would really have to have your tunes cranked up big time to get leakage. I think the HD 239 headphones sound better and are more confortable. I use them at work because they cause zero ear fatigue (however, they do not fold like the PX100 headphones).

If you want to stay with the Sennheiser brand, take a look at the HD 280 Pros. Very nice headphone that, in my opinion, sound almost as good as the 595's but are closed back.

The T51p is pretty true to sound. If a song has deep bass it is produced with good impact without distortion or bloat. When I first got them I didn't like the way they sounded but after about 48 hours of continuous burn in, I love the way they sound. You can hear all the subtle details in the music and everything is crystal clear. It's one of the best portable headphones I own.

I find the audio more than satisfactory. In fact, compared to the other devices I have owned, the volume is better and the tone sounds very decent. That's my opinion, I hope it helps.

The quality is great (tried with my good-ole Sennheiser HD600). And of course the speakers mute :) And please read my review before making decision.

I bought these as an all-purpose set of headphones, but I use them 80% for gaming and 20% for music/TV/etc. I mostly play multiplayer, also. In my opinion, they sound stunning in games. I can hear sounds in these that I can't with other headphones (mostly ones that cost less than $100).In AC4 multiplayer for example, there are sounds that give you indications about your pursuers and targets that are clearer with these than others.Surround would be nice but I'd have to pay a lot more to get it. As far as the mic goes, for $10 you can buy a cheap headphone/mic adapter and a mic to go with these (can also spend more on better quality ones, though). Anyway, hope this helps.

I noticed almost no sound leakage. I have had these and I like to listen relatively loud but I have never had anyone else comment that they can hear what I am listening to. Hope this helps!

i can not give you the best answer here because i have not used the px 200 ii i but looking at a picture and the technical specs, the look like a closed ear design as opposed to my px 100 ii i which are open air design. I think the px 200 ii i might not sound as good at the higher frequencies or may sound muffled compared to the px 200 ii i, and looking at the frequency ranges of the two headphones, px 100 ii i looks like it can reach higher frequencies than the px 200 ii i. The closed design of the px 200 ii i should provide better noise isolation though

Ok I can only speak to my personal use. I only listen to HD with my Bose OE. I enjoy the sound quality of the over ear headphones. Hope it helps

I guess you mean the sound isolation, it doesn't has noise cancelling but the soft cushions are covering your ears so well that it isolate the external noise very well. If you play in a club, I personally like to hear the music playing as well. The 3.5 Watt is also phenomenal, it so loud and clean that it makes it a lot easier to mix. I haven't found a better set of headphones so far and I had a few :-) . I have always looked around to get the best, the sound is just so real. You won't regret it for a moment. And did I mention that they are ultra light and have a massive ridged feel.

It seems to me that there is minimal (if any) sound leakage from these headphones. I have been using them for about a year now in various environments and no one has ever indicated that they heard what I was listening to.
