How much sound bleeding is there? If I am listening to music at a reasonable volume, will someone sitting in the same room be disturbed?

yes, possibly. the open back design is necessary for the open sound stage presentation instead of the in your head sound of closed designs.

At low volume, I heard nothing while my kids were listening. When they cranked it up, I could hear a good bit.

Yes its not so much as sound bleeding, it permeates thru the air. These headphones were made to allow surround sound capability w ur music. And they are definitely not noise cancellation either

No, I would advise getting something more like a set of Peavy PA speakers. If it is outdoors, it doesn't matter even if the group is small. You will experience a lot of ambient, distracting noise. And it would be load enough to get full clarity. I hope this helps.

Not sure. It is pretty loud itself. You may blow the speakers inside if you do.

A quiet room with normal ambient sounds is around 35-40dbA. Holding a meter near, normal conversation would be around 55-65dbA. Quiet voices might be less than this range, louder speech and laughter will go well above this range. If you have an iPhone or iPad, there are some great apps that are very sensitive. I use SPLnFFT, highly recommended.

The leak isn't bad at all. Unless he's going to be listening to them at full volume (which he shouldn't) and while doing something everyone needs to be quiet, there should be no problem with the sound leak. Just wanted to tell you that.

In a library setting at about half volume, people around me (~8 feet away) are able to hear my music. These definitely bleed sound.

There is very little sound bleed as the cushions do a great job of conforming to your ear. However, as soon as you take them off it can get loud. It's almost like a bluetooth speaker too!!

It is not that noisy. I've never had a complaint. Audio feedback: yes, too loud: no.

Unless you will be in the same room as another person then no. Even when I played it in the same room as someone else they barely heard it.

I wouldn't recommend putting the volume too high especially in the library but in the bus should be fine. It's not as bad as the Beats leakage.

I work in an open office space and tend to crank up my music as well. Atleast on my Mac Book Pro I've turned up the volume about 70-85% up even with the itunes player volume at 100%. I haven't had any complaints from my co-workers saying that my music is loud so the V-moda's are pretty decent. Although, I will say like Ramon that if you turn it up immensely loud then there's bound to be some leak but for me not very much. Also, if it's any help I listen to LRAD or other EDM like music which is pretty loud so you can imagine that kind of music at 70-85% volume.

If you have a very large home theater then I would say great. This sub is a monster, I had a 4th of July party which turned into a block party and It never was turned up to full volume. I normally use it in my family room for Karaoke night but I have to turned the bass all the way down or it would be too much. I hope this gives you a general idea.

At this point I have used them only for listening through my CPU and volume has not been an issue. Reasonably comfortable for long periods. I hope to get to the big stereo soon, but have to rearrange the furniture first:)

Well if you live with room-mates who would prefer some peace of mind this is what you might be aiming for but if you like your music really loud, you'd be better off looking for something more powerful. This worked for me and is plenty loud.

There is only 1 volume, but I don't think it's too loud. It may annoy you a little if your in the same room, but in the other room is fine.

It is not bad. We use it in a room with other ambient noise so we don't notice it at all. In a super quiet room you may hear it.

No, played at reasonable sound, but if exceeded " loud" sound play, leakage will occur.
