What about "noise pollution"? Will other people on the bus be able to identify the music i'm hearing, what is the critical volume these hp will out??

The headphone is just perfect. Other people cannot hear what I'm hearing. I'm using the headphone in my studio and it's working perfectly.

At certain volumes yes, for example at 50 percent volume on my phone most likely no one on the bus will be able to hear your music, but at higher volumes, like 75 or 100 they do leak a good amount of sound and I could see someone telling you to turn it down, so the optimal volume for these to not bother anyone around you is probably below 65 percent.

Noise pollution is very small. I can have volume on my Samsung S3 on max level and if I'm on bus, my neighbour can't hear. If the bus were to stop he might hear something but on normal listening level, which is 2 hits below the max, people around usually can't hear anything. Isolation isn't perfect but I is good and I sure was surprised by it.

In all fairness, I dont listen to classical music, so I cant jugde that. The noise isolation is ok, for a library it should be ok, I have a kid running around and it isolates enough, to not hear him

Pretty loud. You could definitely gig out solo or have enough sound to keep up at a practice with a full band (if they weren't turned up all the way). Surprisingly loud.

It puts out very high quality sound, but it will not overpower a city bus. It is loud enough that you mom will say, "turn that down now!"

They are pretty loud. I have listened to music probably 15 - 20 feet away from them.

Depends on How Loud you have the Music....you do get a visual alert as well!!

I really like my headphones, but honestly believe that a good set of earplugs would work better. They will work without music playing. I sometimes do this on a plane. They do an excellent job of blanking out the engine drone but I can still hear people talking (albeit at a much reduced volume)

The thing about the noise canceling is that it doesn't work 100% well. It acts more like a bass boost imo. It cancels controlled steady noises, like fans and microwaves, but not unpredictable noises that change tones like people speaking and construction. So to answer your question, if you have your music loud enough then yes people will be able to hear it.

Very quite. With road noises and any audio, this is typically not heard at all (even with no audio, noise is minimum)

On an iPod at max volume? Possibly, but your risking hearing damage at that level anyways. At any other reasonable volume no. Even loud metal songs are just audible. In public, the ambient noise level would almost certainly be far louder. In a setting like a library, the sound might travel further though

Hi JC the sound quality is not affected by the holder and you can be rest assured about that. We finally used some headphones as "The Wheels on the Bus " played repeatedly, did start to create an issue!!!!! I started hearing it in my sleep.

I, also, had that concern. I was recently on a flight from Chicago to Albuquerque and was playing my MP3 player at full volume. I removed the headset and placed in my lap, couldn't hear a thing. I was also in a middle seat and neither side could hear a thing (and I like my Jams loud.)

You would have to have them cranked pretty much all the way (or close) for sound to escape. it's much easier for external noises to be heard since these are not noise cancelling. I have used my set on airplanes, buses, trains, in all kinds of stores and not once have I have seen anyone and or been told anyone that they can hear my music.

haha not silly at all, I have tested that so I'll try to give you an good response haha, you can hear the rhythm of the songs if loud enough have the volume maxed up you'll can hear it alright otherwise no one can hear it or just hear the beat band nothing more, but if you have it maxed up on vol. they could hear. Hope this helps and made all that jazz ///_^Y

I know this isn't the best environment, but I listen to music for 2-2.5 hours every day on my commute, on the subway. How much disturbance would this cause others? My previous headphones were the Sony MDR-V6. I wish I could listen to music in a quieter environment, but I don't have the time, the subway unfortunately is the best stretch of time I have every day.If you think these would disturb others too much, is there a closed model you recommend? I can't see anything by Sennheiser at approximately this price range and quality, that has a closed back.

For sure! But I don't recommend using headphones while cycling. It isn't safe, you need to be able to hear traffic around you. Play music through your speakerphone. Also, you may need some extra long headphones if you do decide to take that route :)

Yes. Depending on how loud you crank them and how noisy the bus is. It is not bad though.
